2008 global financial crisis and the incomprehensible- Are the old faces that put the whole financial system at risk, now the new faces trying to fix it?
01/15/2009
Sir James Crosby is the old face of HBOS bank which needed $17 billion of British government money, he has also been Deputy Chairman of the Financial Services Authorty since 2006. Has part of the problem been that regulatory agencies have been run by the very people they were supposed to regulate. In the process has the regulatory mindset which is supposed to have conservative instincts and to be skeptical of newly contrived schemes and ever vigilant, been destroyed or replaced with something foreign to the task of regulation.

Danel Tarullo's lone effort at the Federal Reserve- 2009-2010
10/01/2009
Daniel Tarullo steps in around September 2009, when Congress and the administration have already buckled under pressure from the lobbying by the banking industry to weaken essential regulatory reform in derivatives trading, and in other reforms. Volcker is 82, and rarely uses his Washington office (ignored?), Tarullo is looked at by staff at the Fed from the previous lax regime of regulation with skepticism. Mervyn King at the Bank of England is alone in calling for the breakup of big banks into smaller banks, and separating utility and investment banking, which Volcker supports. As it stands now bank regulation falls under the FSA in England, with the Conservatives under Osborne looking to give the Bank of England this authority. And all the time banking behaviours at investment banks and trading desks continue in a business as usual manner.

Lighter banking regulation in the U.S. compared to the stricter regulation proposed in Britain- 2011-2012
04/07/2011
The structural separation of investment banking and trading activities of banks from deposit taking activity, that is proposed by the Independent Commission on Banking in Britain. This is different from the Volcker Rule in the U.S., which sets rules banks are required to follow to constrain risktaking activity by the trading arm of banks. In practice only a lighter form of the Volcker Rule has been adopted in the U.S., and the rules are not clearly defined. Ring fencing of risk taking activities at banks is an important part of British regulation, an approach also adopted by Germany.

01/28/2008

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.
