Jim Rogers has some useful thoughts about the economic crisis.
01/02/2009
Jim Rogers a co-founder of Quantum Funds along with Soros, talks to Maria Bartiromo. He thinks LTCM or Long Term Credit Management, which was rescued by the Fed and Treasury in the Greenspan-Rubin era, should have been allowed to fail. The economy would have been able to handle the resulting dislocation.It would have sent strong signals to the banks and made them cautious about overleveraging and bad bets. Lehman would have taken time to recover and things would be different today.

U.S. Federal Reserve report on the drop in incomes and net worth of American families between 2007-2010
01/02/2009
The Fed documents the impact of the financial crisis of 2008-2009 on American families. Half the middle class is dislocated financially by the crisis and minorites fare badly. Median incomes drop 8% and housing asset values drop an average of 42%. Median net worth down 39% taking it back to where it was in 1992. American families work down their debt, reducing credit card balances.

Failure to implement the Dodd-Frank provision that removes a government requirement of credit ratings on securities
01/02/2009
The foot dragging that has held up this change comes from the Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Treasury Secretary Geithner said in a recent op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal that he would ask the President to veto any changes to the Dood-Frank legislation. The S.E.C. and other regulators have not made the changes as required by the reform law. A Wall Street Journal editorial on July 23, 2011, points to the failure to make this change by regulatory agencies.

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.
