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.

Fomer Fed chairman Volcker's comment letter responds to criticsm of the Volcker Rule in Feb. 2012
07/09/2010
Mr. Volcker says the Volcker rule restricting proprietary trading will make the U.S. financial system safer and healthier. He responds to the objection that it will reduce liquidity and increase borrowing rates by saying that too much liquidity is the problem because financial firms tend to bid up asset prices thinking they can always find a buyer. Some of the complexity in the rule Volcker says, stems from the request from financial firms to define what is and is not proprietary trading. The rle goes into effect in July 2012 under the Dodd-Frank legislation.

07/09/2010
In this interview Volcker addresses questions about the origins of the financial crisis, the role played by the Federal Reserve, the Volcker Rule and the Dodd-Frank financial reforms, the Republican position of no taxes, the Occupy movement, and the alarming disparity in income growth between the top end and low end of incomes. Volcker says he knows of no years when there was such wide disparities between the enormous income growth at the high end and the lack of growth at the low end- except 1928, and 1929.

J.P. Morgan’s London Whale: A Timeline
Wall Street Journal 05/10/2012
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.
