    One hell of a rate - £1M per minute

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2...nsumerspending

    The credit crunch, which has dragged the UK economy to the brink of recession, has wiped £600bn from the wealth of the UK - more than £1m a minute - since the crisis began a year ago, accountants said today.

    A study by PricewaterhouseCoopers showed that housing wealth has plummeted by £400bn while sharp falls in the share prices ofbanks and financial institutions have wiped out another £200bn.


    £1M per minute!!! And I thought SAP Contractors were on a killing.

      It's only money numbers though. Is that £1M / minute in terms of what it was worth a minute ago or what it's worth in a minutes time?

            Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
