If I ruled the world … nope, Goldman Sachs does

Paul Kedrosky's Infectious Greed is always a great read, and today he's posted some blurb from Science Magazine that's worth repeating here. The Science article is called Economic Networks: The New Challenges by Frank Schweitzer et al. in Science, July 24, 2009.  Here's the abstract: "The current economic crisis illustrates a critical need for new…

Why banks aren’t lending

I had a few calls yesterday to talk about what’s going on between the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, and the banks. Oh yes, and Peter Mandelson was in there somewhere.

Liquidity Management … what’s all that about?

After talking about Wall Street's liquid workers, liquidity risk, liquidity reporting and liquidity management on several occasions, we had a big debate about it in the Financial Services Club a couple of weeks ago.
