Public spending and job creation in France- the alternate view of central bank chief Christian Noyer
12/10/2011
France's central bank chief provides an alternate view on public spending to create jobs in France. Public spending tends to focus on preserving yesterdays jobs and not as much on jobs for the future. Once public spending reaches a certain level of GNP of about 55%, a level France has crossed, the benefits shrink and the effort is counterproductive with the public expecting higher taxes in th future.

The EU Summit, December 9, 2011
12/09/2011
The German position not to allow large scale bond buying by the ECB remained unchanged. The focus continued on getting debt brakes and fiscal discipline rules set for the eurozone members. The ECB's Mario Draghi opposes central banks of Europe sending money to the IMF which would be used to support EU countries with debt problems. The ECB lowered interest rates by 0.25% for the eurozone, bringing interest rates to 1%, and reversing earlier ECB policies under Trichet that increased rates. In addition the ECB will provide unlimited funding to European commercial banks for longer maturities of 3 years, instead of the current 1 year maturity.

The Bundesbank's claims on the ECB and the breakup of the eurozone
12/08/2011
The 495 billion in euros of Bundesbank claims on the ECB, with much of the collateral in sovereign debt of financially weak countries, is another reason Germany sees a breakup of the eurozone as unthinkable. Germany would assume a large share of the losses if the eurozone would breakup, much larger than the 28% which is its share of the ECB's capital.

The MF Gobal bankruptcy, $1.2 billion missing from customer accounts, and the new risks for customer accounts at brokerage firms
12/09/2011
Jan Corzine told a Congressional committee he had no idea what happened to the $1.2 billion in missing money from customer accounts. Experts say regulation is weak, understaffed and spread over many agencies, leaving the task of safety for customer accounts to self-monitoring by brokerage firms. The industry uses several layers of checks and the highest ranking officers are part of the process. The violation is considered straightforward and is criminal, which leaves more questions unanswered about what happened at MF Global, and uncertainty about the safety of customer accounts.

Does deterrance work for white collar crime of the illegal or legal type in politics and the financial sector, or does the public get what it deserves
12/08/2011
Judges, experts and others on whether one needs to dispense with the noton that deterrance will work, because the public gets what it deserves. How else does one explain the perpetuation of corrupt behaviours and reelection and return of the same people in politics and the financial sector, even when their actions and behavior is well understood throughout the country, ask judges and experts.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
