Management failure at Toyota in addressing quality and safety issues- the Recall period 2009-2011
01/29/2010
Toyota's own documents reveal that managers touted the $100 million savings in limiting the degree to which Toyota would address the quality and safety issues raised by unintended acceleration and failure in braking. Toyota had hired former National Highway Traffic and Safety officials and was able to limit what it had to do to address the problem. In the end the problems would cost billions of dollars in a massive recall effort and dent its image.

Expert opinion on capital cushion requirements for large banks to prevent future crises- 2011-2015
01/21/2010
In addition to Basel 3 rules for capital cushions, individual countries have come up with additional safety buffers. Britain's independent banking commission has proposed an additional 3% buffer for large banks. Swiss regulators are asking the largest Swiss banks to have an additional 9% in convertible capital as an additional safety buffer, which would also discourage excessive risk taking.

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.
