Bunhill: His Notes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Meanwhile, if you want to know all about the new bogeymen in the Bundesbank, you can read the year's best- timed book, The Bundesbank - The Bank that Rules Europe by David Marsh, out tomorrow.
The book is published by Mandarin, part of Reed, which showed a defiant streak of European co-operation last Thursday by announcing a merger with Elsevier, the Dutch publisher.
In his book, Marsh points out that the Bundesbank has been a reluctant imperialist in its time.
As a senior official, Otmar Issing, put it: 'For a long period we said nothing will come of EMU (economic and monetary union). We have the better monetary policies. Why should we take over a worse currency?' What an unanswerable question.
