Join the Conversation A romantic new TED Book: The Mathematics of Love » Revealed: The TED2015 speaker lineup » “ Clinton Robinson comments on Tom Wujec: Got a wicked problem? First, tell me how you make toast   I really appreciated the presentation of data regarding each process and how many drawings each took. It highlighted for me the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. We all are seeking to be more collaborative and innovative but your last point really drove something home for me. Sometimes we create a solution looking for a problem when we should be doing just the opposite. We should be all standing on a "burning platform" to emphasize the critical nature of our work. This is maybe not the process to use when seeking random opportunity?"

INETeconomics has uploaded Michael Greenberger: Setting the Stage for the Next Financial Crisis Michael Greenberger: Setting the Stage for the Next Financial Crisis INETeconomics Proprietary trading by Wall Street banks precipitated the 2008 financial crisis that resulted in a near 13 trillion dollar bailout by American taxpayers of Too Big To Fail financial institutions. As early as 2007, Morgan Stanley lost $9 billion dollars due to bullish bets on complex derivatives related to mortgages and in 2008 American International Group famously lost billions of dollars betting on complex derivatives. Similarly, toward the end of 2008, Merrill Lynch lost nearly $16 billion and Deutsche Bank lost nearly $2 billion due to complex bets on risky securities. Additionally, JPMorgan‟s $9 billion loss on a giant derivatives trade made by its London trading desk known colloquially as the London Whale is a stark reminder that proprietary trading by Too Big To Fail financial institutions poses an acute risk to U.S. financial markets and exposes U.S. taxpayers to the risk of future bank bailouts. The whole rationale for what ultimately became known as the "Dodd-Frank" bill...

ForaTv has uploaded Future of Finance: The Changing Role of Banks Future of Finance: The Changing Role of Banks ForaTv More videos from The International Monetary Fund available at: http://fora.tv/partner/International_Moneta­ry_Fund As recovery takes hold and we put the crisis behind us challenges and opportunities are being posed for the financial sector and finance as a whole. We have witnessed a depletion of trust and a loss of faith in markets, a deficit that still needs to be addressed. Meanwhile banks are adapting to new market and regulatory realities and are being challenged by the expansion of nonbanks while technology raises the prospect for enhancing financial inclusion but also the potential for disruption. There are evident implications for financial stability, economic growth, and social cohesion from these changes. As a result, economists and policymakers are increasingly coming to the view that economic concerns cannot be divorced from financial changes and ethical concerns. The central question is: how do we make the financial sector not only safer but of better service to all memb... (More) You were sent this email because you chose to receive updates from ForaTv.
