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.

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.
