The perverse effects of lobbying in damaging the public interest.
04/10/2009
Finance industry lobbying, with $300 million alone spent to repeal the Glass Steagall Act which kept banks from getting involved in the securties business, is having the effect of making changes without the due diligence and care necessary for changing legislation that had deep reason embedded in experience during the Great Depression. Citigroup's failure is a result of its involvement in the securities business, and it was a principal backer for the repeal. Similar situation is playing out in the U.S. health-care area which has overtaken the finance industry in money spent for lobbying. Lobbying of this magnitude is having distortional effects on national priorities on necessary regulation, and on creating sustainable economical systems for health care in health care laws.

Paul Krugman on the economic progress made by the U.S. when banking was boring
04/10/2009
Krugman says the U.S. has gone through three periods for banking. The period between World War I and 1929 was a period when banking and debt made up a a large portion of the economy. The Great Depression changed this and banking returned to being boring with bankers paid only somewhat more than other professions. During the 1990's the restrictions on banking were lifted leading to the global financial crisis of 2008. The changes needed have not taken place and banking continues to operate much like before the crisis, says Krugman. A great deal of the economic progress made and rise in average incomes was accomplished in the postwar period when banking was boring.

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.
