Quite a lot of links this week, and first up, Scottish Independence. Much of the debate so far has been over what currency an independent Scotland should use. In this post Neil Wilson argues that it’s the real resources of Scotland we should be talking about and that a new Scottish currency would be the best option:

A nice blog from Tim Harford next how governments could start to address inequality, using Finland as an example:

A wonkish this one, but I’ve included it, because it’s well argued. If you’ve know any economics, you’ll probably be OK:

And finally, I found this blog on self-employment by Flipchart Rick interesting. Lots of nice charts as well:
