My voice and noise on subprime bank regulations

I warned many about the coming crisis, long before it happened, on many occasions and in many places, even at the World Bank. The regulators did not want to listen and that´s ok, it usually happens, but what's not ok, is that they still do not seem to want to hear it. “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” (Plato: 427 BC – 347 BC)

 My first Op-Ed 1997: Puritanism in banking 

 A statement 2003 on risk-taking as an Executive Director of the World Bank 

2007 at United Nations: Are Basel bank regulations good for development?

Risk-taking also provides the financial system with the Lebensraum it needs.

We are suffering from more and more answers than questions begging for them, and so I work on the latter. Read it all in my one and only book!"Voice and Noise" Pssst... so few have read this book so it is slowly turning into a collector item (I do not say a "cult"... yet) and so you might benefit from getting your very own copy now.
