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.

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.
