What Blagojevichâs Sentence Says About Corruption and Greed
Keywords:
James Warren talks to judges and other experts who are skeptical about the value of deterrance in stopping white collar criminal behaviour. Jim Cramer of the television financial markets show, says that on Wall Street they fear nothing more than jail time. Warren, who says the greatest corruption of legal and illegal kinds is to be found today in the financial sector, is still not convinced. He asks why was this guy Bagojevich elected a second time, when it was clear throughout Chicago and in Springfield that pay-to-play was typical of his behaviour. Is the public some virtuous group that gets hit with these undeserved types or is it that the public gets the politicians it deserves.

Does deterrance work for white collar crime of the illegal or legal type in politics and the financial sector, or does the public get what it deserves
12/08/2011
Judges, experts and others on whether one needs to dispense with the noton that deterrance will work, because the public gets what it deserves. How else does one explain the perpetuation of corrupt behaviours and reelection and return of the same people in politics and the financial sector, even when their actions and behavior is well understood throughout the country, ask judges and experts.

What Blagojevichâs Sentence Says About Corruption and Greed
New York Times 12/08/2011
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.
