Marvellous weekend essay on Lebanon and the Middle East:
Israel, Lebanon and the mirage of a new Middle East
Lebanese academic and diplomat Ghassan Salamé on how conflict engulfed his country — and why it is folly to try to reshape the region by force
Because I am a big big nerd this piece on the history of capital gains tax in the UK is the kind of thing that made me an FT reader so I am particularly pleased there’s one in the paper this weekend:
Capital gains tax: a short history
Since its beginnings in 1965, many UK chancellors have sought to reform the levy as a means of spurring economic growth
Excellent read…
