    ASA ECONOMIC SOCIOLOGY SECTION NEWSLETTER ACCOUNTS Volume 9 Issue 1 Spring 2010 Section Chair’s Introduction 2009‐10 Editors Jiwook Jung T Kim Pernell Sameer Srivastava The events of the last year and a half, or two if you were watching things Harvard University closely, have led many to question whether the economy operates as most everyone understood it to operate. The Great Recession has undermined many shibboleths of economic theory and challenged the idea that free markets regulate themselves. The notion that investment bankers and titans of industry would never take risks that might put the economy in jeopardy, because they would pay the price for a collapse, now seems Inside this Issue quaint. They did take such risks, and few of them have paid any kind of price.

  • BOOKS THAT CHANGE LIVES in Order to Catch up with Our Neighbors
    BOOKS THAT CHANGE LIVES Dear reader, This is a brief description of the book program of Bendukidze Free Market Center. We believe that the key to happiness and prosperity for all countries is one and the same – free creativity of free people. We believe in the ability of ideas to change human lives, and that is why we consider promoting the ideas of freedom in Ukraine to be our mission. In order to catch up with our neighbors that are far ahead, we have to move much faster than they do. "One needs to become a champion of reforms to show average results," said Kakha Bendukidze regarding a similar situation. One of the reasons that hinder Ukraine's rapid development is multi-layered intellectual rubbish, stuffed into the heads of our politicians, university graduates and even public intellectuals. The "Library of Freedom" is the contribution of the BFMC and our partners to the Ukrainian Enlightenment. In the fight against ignorance and deception there is no weapon stronger than a clear, bright and sharp book. This document is an invitation to cooperate. The "Library of Freedom" needs the support of entrepreneurs and non-indifferent people. Promoting the right ideas is the best contribution to the development of our country! Volodymyr Fedoryn Director of Bendukidze Free Market Center LIBRARY OF FREEDOM Library of Freedom is a book program of the Bendukidze Free Market Center aimed at introducing Ukrainian readers to bestsellers on economic freedom, free market success stories, etc. This unique project is a multi-year undertaking, during which Ukrainians will get access to both new foreign releases and classic works on the above-mentioned topics.

  • AUDIO GUIDE TOUR 1 48 Wall Street/Murals
    Museum of American Finance AUDIO GUIDE TOUR 1 48 Wall Street/Murals The largest object on display at the Museum of American Finance isn’t the bull and bear statue or the statue of Alexander Hamilton. You’re actually standing INSIDE the largest object! In 1797 Alexander Hamilton’s Bank of New York laid the cornerstone for its first building right here at 48 Wall Street. You can see the cornerstone outside where William Street meets Wall Street. Hamilton founded the Bank in 1784 not long after the last of the British troops left American soil for good. The current building is the third Bank of New York headquarters on this site. It opened in 1929 and was active until the Bank acquired the Irving Trust Company and moved into its towering art deco skyscraper at 1 Wall Street in 1988. Like many bank buildings from this era, the architect Benjamin Wistar Morris designed the Grand Mezzanine to convey a sense of strength and power, both in its size and its extensive use of marble and limestone. These materials invoke a sense of security, making the building look like a solid fortress, protecting clients’ money at all costs. Remember, FDIC insurance didn’t come along until 1933. If you look up at the north and east walls of the Grand Mezzanine, you’ll see eight murals painted by J. Monroe Hewlett, an accomplished turn-of-the-century muralist. Alexander Hamilton is front and center in the murals on the north side. These depict scenes from the Bank of New York’s history.
