Crunch creep

Geoff Riley

20th October 2008

I like the idea of cataloging some of the unintended consequences or side-effects of the global credit crunch and arrival of recession - crunch creep is a regularly updated feature on the BBC online magazine - available here. I wonder if blog readers can suggest their own? My own favourite has been Amazon deciding to offer deep discounts on the Harvard Business School books and other books explaining how the financial markets work! Presumably because many of these books now have junk bond status and will need to be re-written in a year or two!
