Browsing: Business & Power
Business & Power reports on the decisions, incentives, and structures that shape markets and public life.
We cover corporate strategy, finance, regulation, lobbying, and political economy — focusing on how power is exercised and how money moves. This includes reporting on companies, regulators, financial institutions, and the intersections between business and government.
Our coverage prioritises documents over declarations: filings, disclosures, court records, policy texts, and data. We track appointments, mergers, enforcement actions, and legislative developments, while examining who benefits, who bears the cost, and why outcomes differ from stated intentions.
Alongside breaking updates, Business & Power publishes analysis and explainers designed to clarify complex systems such as central banking, corporate governance, and regulatory capture. The emphasis is on accountability, transparency, and long-term consequences.
