Paul Volcker's fading influence on the Obama administration.
04/11/2009
Former Fed chairman Paul Volcker added to the credibility of the incoming Obama administration during the early days. Now his advice about the need to reinstate a wall between banking for taking federally insured deposits and making loans, from investment banking's trading in securtities, is beig ignored. He does not think regulation will be effective. One reason our system does not work thay way. Influential bankers can water down financial regulation in Congress.

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.
