02/11/2009
Trader Monthly shows these values in its content which glorified a culture of extravagant spending, and a sense of entitlement based on a pugnaciopus culture that felt that it delivered. Except that it was misallocating capital on a massive scale disrupting the delicate workings of the capitalist economy.

Executive compensation on Wall Street: Assuaging public anger or the real thing
02/04/2009
Its not clear whether these controls on pay practices are adequate, or too little too late. With bills being watered down in Congress on derivatives trading and other risk prevention measures. The intense lobbying of the financial industry against prudent regulation. The voices of wiser minds like Volcker and Mervyn King of the Bank of England calling for strong action. And the jobless numbers going the other way. Most recently at the Barr Trucking Company in Indiana, where 500 resumes were received for a $13 an hour assistant position.

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.
