| WORLD NEWS |  M & A - Another one bites the dust | Cadbury goes American. Is this healthy for British manufacturing?
WHY can’t Britain hang on to ownership of iconic brands such as Jaguar, Land Rover, the Mini, Rowntree, the Times and now Cadbury, purveyor of chocolate to children of the British empire? On January 19th, after a four-month battle, Roger Carr, chairman of Cadbury, said his board was recommending to shareholders a £11.9 billion ($19.5 billion) takeover bid by Kraft Foods, of Northfield, Illinois. Somehow, despite the blustering of politicians and the protests of organised labour, great companies like this one have been slipping out of British control. | |
| | BUSSINESS | | Business this week | | Barack Obama presented his administration’s latest proposals for bank reform. Advised by Paul Volcker, a former chairman of the Federal Reserve, the president wants to stop banks with insured deposits from trading on their own account and from owning or investing in private equity and hedge funds. To restrict banks that “are too big to fail”, the cap on the size of a bank, limiting it to holding no more than 10% of the share of insured deposits, would be expanded to take in other sources of funding.

WHAT do you say to a recent law-school graduate? “A skinny double-shot latte to go, please.” From New York to Los Angeles, Edinburgh to Sydney, the downturn of the past two years has hit the legal profession with unprecedented severity. As even some leading law firms struggle for survival, recruitment has dried up. The lucky few who get jobs are often being told to find something else to do for now, and report for duty on some far-off date. The same is true for MBA graduates seeking jobs in management consulting. Even the mighty McKinsey is said to be postponing start dates by several months. | |
| | THE ECONOMIST with NEW INFORMATION | | Time to get tough | Barack Obama’s first year has been good, but not great—and things are going to get a lot harder
HOW far away it seems, that bitingly cold, crystal-clear morning when almost 2m people filled the Mall from Capitol Hill to the Washington Monument to hear the new president talk of the victory of hope over fear, of unity of purpose over conflict and discord. Recalling the dark days of the war of independence, he pledged, like George Washington, that in the face of common danger Americans under his leadership would come forth to meet it. One year on, how well has he done? | | | We did it! | The rich world’s quiet revolution: women are gradually taking over the workplace
AT A time when the world is short of causes for celebration, here is a candidate: within the next few months women will cross the 50% threshold and become the majority of the American workforce. Women already make up the majority of university graduates in the OECD countries and the majority of professional workers in several rich countries, including the United States. Women run many of the world’s great companies, from PepsiCo in America to Areva in France. | | | Mr Obama's unpromising year | Americans will blame bad times on the president
When they voted to send a black man to the White House at the end of 2008, Americans performed one of the most remarkable acts of rebranding in the history of their remarkable nation. The coming year, however, will be a miserable one for Barack Obama. This is not only because of the iron law of waning novelty. His second year as president will expose the underlying weakness of the political coalition that elected him, the scale of the difficulties he inherited, the stubborn resistance of Americans to sudden change, and their enduring attachment to the dream of small government and individual opportunity. | |
