  • Looking upwards towards the back of a number 8 red London bus which passes the pillars of the famous Bank of England building at Cornhill in the City Of London, the financial district, otherwise known as the Square Mile. We see the Bank rising as an imposing classical structure. Its columns are converging because of wide-angle lens-distortion, giving us the image of strength, stability and influence in UK economics. The bus is a traditional design called a Routemaster which has been in service on the capital's roads since 1954 and is nowadays only seen on heritage routes. Its distinctive rounded rear bodywork is easily recognisable as that classic British icon.

  • At the height of financial uncertainty, we see from a low pavement angle investors queueing outside the Maddox Street branch of the troubled Northern Rock Bank, off Regent Street, Mayfair, in September 2007. Their hard-earned savings appear to be in jeopardy after the bank announced an emergency loan from the Bank of England. Despite reassurances from officials who insisted that the Bank which has £113bn in assets, was not in danger of going bust, concerned men and women wait in line, some with their faces on view and reading newspapers or more commonly, wishing to remain anonymous and keeping their backs to reporters and cameras. The rush of customers demanding their investments almost spelled the demise of the bank with over £2bn removed from accounts in a few days. Northern Rock struggled since money markets seized up over the summer.

  • Steel bars sit in an idle steel stock yard in Shanghai, China on 06 January 2010. China's central Banking governor Zhou Xiaochuan warned yesterday that industrial overcapacity could "pose a risk to the quality of bank loans." Even so, China will continue its "moderately loose" monetary policy. Some critics say that China's stimulus package, which has been much credited for leading the world out of a recession, had been used mainly to create more capacity in industries such as steel and manufacturing, which in turn will further put pressure on the world economy. Already this year the U.S. has slapped additional duties of 43 to 289 percent on imports of more than $300 million worth of a steel product from China.
