A note to Business Spectator

Tuesday 6 May 2014

Guys and gals of Business Spectator,

MB is all for spreading the good word so we don’t at all mind when you run with data and issues that MB has broken open with previous analysis.

Nobody owns an idea and filling the larger echo chamber of the mainstream press with clearer thinking is precisely what we set out to do to improve wider understanding and debate.

Having said that, can we ask that you offer the professional courtesy of linking when your articles are indebted to our material (as we do)? It will keep the debate growing in strength and durability.

Thanks for reading,
