S.E.C. Funding in 2010-2012
12/21/2010
Funding of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the Dodd-Frank legislation for financial reform the funding for the S.E.C. was doubled so that it could fully take up a whole range of regulatory tasks.

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.

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.

How Regulators Mess With Bankers’ Minds, and Why That’s Good
New York Times 04/14/2016
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.
