...runs Breakingviews, an online financial commentary service, says that British businesses - the London financial markets in particular - are so much more competitive and international that the idea of advance based on the old school tie "is just not sustainable." The Eton network helps, but "even if you're bright, you're not going to get anywhere without effort." Because Etonians themselves now expect to work hard, having the school on your résumé doesn't raise the same worries it did 20 years ago. "No one has to live it down," says Viney.
