Hairy Lefty Fund Management

Archbishops of Canterbury and York blame capitalism excesses for financial crisis - Telegraph

... the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, warned in a magazine article that modern devotion to the free market is a form of idolatry and that Karl Marx was right in his analysis of the power of "unbridled capitalism".

Dr Williams - a self-confessed "hairy lefty" - said he was not arguing for "rigid Soviet-style centralised direction" but agreed that the ban on short-selling was right and added: "Governments should not lose their nerve as they look to identify a few more targets."

I hope none of this effects the £4 billion portfolio of his church....
