What happened to London as the world financial hub?
What ever happened to London's expected dominance as the global financial hub?
Here is an article from 2004, for example: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/04/07/1081…
Has this trend stalled or reversed because of the european debt crisis?
While we're on the topic, why is it that SS/medicare/medicaid are going to drive the US into bankruptcy, but nobody is saying this about the UK? Isn't their entitlement spending (per capita) just as bad if not worse?

As human talent and financial capital disperses, the world will become increasingly multi-polarized - there will be no "one" financial hub. New York, Chicago, London, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai will each gain increasingly important region roles.
Blatant Chicago trolling
UK spending is more efficient in healthcare and I disagree with the notion of entitlement spending as bad per se. There are actually things that government can provide better than the market.
