This video talks about the City of London in glowing terms, but... Well, that's for another video. The economy of the united kingdom is really a tale of two cities, it was the best of times and it was the worst of times, it is an economy with the highest levels of foreign investment per capita in the world and it is an economy with a major poverty crisis.

This for the most part sounds brilliant, a strong financial services sector is hugely beneficial to a national economy. It creates thousands of extremely high paying jobs and can attract profits from all over the world to be introduced to the local economy and the United Kingdom is a great example of this.
