Donald Trump's economic advisory team with John Paulson, and many businessmen from the hedge funds and financial industry- at odds with the image of being with Main Street
08/05/2016
The 2008 financial crisis hurt the prospects of older white Americans who faced higher unemployment. It also led to the rescue of the financial industry and rates dropping to zero hurting the savings of ordinary Americans, and as the FDIC's Sheila Bair pointed out not much done to rescue homeowners under water. During the 2008 election candidates John McCain and Barrack Obama, both had connections to the real estate and financial industry, to lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as cited in the media. This time is no different with Clinton and Trump both having connections to Wall Street yet seeking the support of ordinary Americans hurt by the 2008 financial crisis. The only difference is that Clinton faces a movement within her party led by Bernie Sanders that calls for a different approach this time. There is also little difference between the economic team that Jeb Bush put together in its connections to Wall Street with Columbia University Business School Dean Hubbard and that of Trump.

The trader culture of Wall Street and firms like Goldman Sachs that worshipped values that were the opposite of what were handed down by our forefathers for generations.
02/11/2009
Trader Monthly shows these values in its content which glorified a culture of extravagant spending, and a sense of entitlement based on a pugnaciopus culture that felt that it delivered. Except that it was misallocating capital on a massive scale disrupting the delicate workings of the capitalist economy.

The forum at the International House, Morningside Heights, New York, with former heads of the Federal Reserve Volcker, Greenspan, Bernanke and Yellen
04/07/2016
Fareed Zakaria is the host for a forum at the International House in April 2016. Past chairpersons of the Federal Reserve and chairwoman Yellen discuss Fed policies with Zakaria, in a rare situation where the Fed chairpersons are brought together to respond to questions about their policies and problems. At one point Zakaria asks if a former chairperson McChesney Martin's warning about pulling away the punch bowl when the party got started had not been heeded resulting in the 2008 financial crisis. William McChesney Martin served under five administrations since Harry Truman (1951-1970) and followed a policy of raising rates when the economy reached a certain point in its expansion. Martin brought tremendous experience to the Fed, with his work in finance on Wall Street and at Treasury, and in a rare coincidence it was his father who helped found the Federal Reserve under president Wilson in 1913. Posterity might see the work of Bernanke and Yellen in a light similiar to the work of Martin in helping the nation recover from crisis.

Executive compensation on Wall Street: Assuaging public anger or the real thing
02/04/2009
Its not clear whether these controls on pay practices are adequate, or too little too late. With bills being watered down in Congress on derivatives trading and other risk prevention measures. The intense lobbying of the financial industry against prudent regulation. The voices of wiser minds like Volcker and Mervyn King of the Bank of England calling for strong action. And the jobless numbers going the other way. Most recently at the Barr Trucking Company in Indiana, where 500 resumes were received for a $13 an hour assistant position.

Reviews of "This Time is Different" by Rogoff and Reinhart
01/21/2008
Boom, bust cycles, with high indebtedness, asset bubbles, and unsustainable current account deficits are followed by long periods of slow or nonexistent growth say Rogoff and Reinhart in their new book. This raises questions about the now current hypothesis that economic recovery will take place in 2011-2013. As the book's title suggests there are long periods in history that show this and it is gaining in credibility as the column by David Wessel in the Wall Street Journal July 21,2011, suggests.

Wall Street Journal 04/13/2015
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.
