Summary

2012 marks the 25th anniversary of the Alex cartoon strip, which began mocking the financial world back in the yuppie years, when bankers were held in public contempt for being greedy, arrogant and immoral. A quarter of a century later they still are; which leaves us satirists wondering what on earth was the point?

Table of Contents

It's another grim year for investment banker Alex Masterley as he has to cope with an absence of deals, the constant fear of redundancy and his P.A. selfishly going off on maternity leave.; In this latest collection of cartoons from the business pages of The Daily Telegraph Alex discusses ethics over lunch with the Archbishop of Canterbury, while his colleague Clive's efforts are taken up with trying to grow a moustache for charity. Alex becomes increasingly aware of mortality (if not morality) as he attends a memorial service for a client, celebrates his fiftieth birthday and has a heart attack (inconveniently during Cheltenham week).
