There was a crackingly good debate and discussion at an FT-ie breakfast this morning. For one, the event was a sell out and for two, the panel was outstanding.
Lionel Barber, the FT's editor introduced the panel before making his way to the Leveson Inquiry to give evidence.
They were:
Guy Elliott, Chief Financial Officer, Rio Tinto
Loretta Napoleoni, Economist & Bestselling Author, ‘Rogue Economics’, ‘Terror Incorporated’ & ‘Maonomics’
Ambassador Louis Susman, United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James’s
Martin Wolf, Chief Economic Commentator, Financial Times
