These are my links for October 8th:

• FT.com / Comment & analysis / Comment - Extend state ownership to save jobs - Socialism in the FT? Whatever next?
• FT.com / Companies / Financial services - Rate cuts follow bank rescue - Not enough

  Not nearly enough

• Prem Sikka: Auditors failed to spot the warning signs leading to the current economic crisis | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk - Prem makes clear the auditors have not just failed, but that KPMG seems to figure prominently in the list of those who have done so.
• FT.com / In depth - Iceland nationalises Landsbanki - In the process it has looked like it has reneged on any form of depositor protection.

  Ireland will do so next.
