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.

Thomas Hoenig and other experts on the "too big to fail" banking crisis that hovers over the U.S. economy
09/23/2010
Former Fed Governor of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank for 20 years, Thomas Hoenig, has followed Fed policy over a long period. He has maintained throughout that government backing takes away an essential element in the safe and conservative practices of financial institutions by encouraging the taking of excessive risks. The only way to ensure their safety is for creditors to know they bear serious risks and for the systemically important financial insitutions to know that not following safe financial practices can put these institutions and management out of business.

A behind the scenes account of JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's discovery and response to large losses
01/15/2010
Dimon's first encounter with the losses at the bank was through an account of Chief Investment Office trader Iksil's trades in the Wall Street Journal on April 6, 2012. The trader was referred to as the "London Whale" and large losses were mentioned. This has raised questions about whether banks of the size of JP Morgan can even be effectively managed by a CEO. The decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve, Treasury and regulators to encourage the merger of failed financial firms Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual with JP Morgan Chase- ostensibly because no mechanism to wind down such firms existed- not only created a mega bank but also created additional risks from banks too big to manage.

01/28/2008
Volcker in the USA and Mervyn King in England both agree that speculative and utility banking should be separated, and too big to fail banks broken up. Regulation to prevent a future banking crisis they agree is something of an illusion.

Glass Steagall, the "Citigroup Authorization Act," and Sanford Weill
01/15/2009
Sanford Weill pushed hard for repeal of the Glass Steagall Act, so much so that the legislation to repeal it was called the Citigroup Authorization Act. Weill said in July 2012 that the times had changed and he regretted repeal of Glass Steagall. He called for a breakup of the biggest banks because the experience of the housing bubble and the financial crisis had proved that this posed too many risks.

Different approaches to banking crises- South Korea and the U.S.
04/01/2009
The U.S. leaned on S. Korea to make radical changes in its banking system in 1997, with takeover of banks by the government, closing of loss ridden banks, and creation of a new banking sector. The moves were compressed into a short time because of U.S. pressure. The large influence of bank lobbying in the US, in Republican and Democratic administrations, has led to a situation in which the U.S. banking sector is similiar to what it was before the 2008 crisis, with the same too-big-to fail banks- only larger now- and with unresolved bad housing loans.

Ireland Crisis Might Give China Break It Seeks
Unknown 11/19/2010
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.
