February 25, 2009

"The answer may be to say to the banks, either we?ll break you up once we?re through this crisis, so none of you become too big to fail, or to say, we agree to some type of guarantee, but in return, you will be securely regulated. There will be stronger ongoing stress tests, and limits to your activities. 
It doesn?t make sense: heads you win, tails we bail you out.

Observations on the Science of Finance in the Practice of Finance
March 5, 2009

There will be a time ?beyond crisis,? asserts Robert C. Merton, who delves into the dense science of derivatives -- a field he has fundamentally shaped -- to explain how the vast global economic collapse has come about, and how financial 
innovations at the heart of the collapse could also be tools for reconstruction.

March 19, 2009

The Obama campaign owes its victory not to a single charismatic candidate, but to the efforts of

Marshall Ganz describes how the principles and practices he learned around organizing and 
leadership played out in the most recent presidential election.
