A US-based journalist has interviewed islanders who lost money in the Landsbanki collapse for a book about the global financial crisis.

Michael Casey, who writes for Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal, was in the island yesterday and also spoke to Chief Minister Lyndon Trott and Treasury minister Charles Parkinson.

Mr Casey (pictured) said he wanted to focus his book on the human stories that have come out of the financial crisis and show how all parts of the world were affected by it because they were linked.  19-May-10.
