  • How the Economic Machine Works

    How the Economic Machine Works

    Productivity and Structural Reform: Why Countries Succeed & Fail, and What Should Be Done So Failing Countries Succeed by Ray Dalio In this report the drivers of productivity are shown and are used to create an economic health index. That index shows how 20 major countries are doing as measured by 19 economic health gauges made up of 81 indicators, and it shows what these gauges portend for real GDP growth in each of these countries over the next 10 years. As you will see, past predictions based on this process have been highly reliable. For this reason this economic health index provides both a reliable prognosis for each of these country’s growth rates over the next 10 years and a reliable formula for success. By looking at these cause-effect relationships in much the same way as a doctor looks at one’s genetics, blood tests and regimes for exercise and diet, we can both see each country’s health prospects and know what changes each can make so that these countries can become economically healthier. We are making this research available in the hope that it will facilitate the very important discussions about structural reforms that are now going on and will help both the public and policy makers to look past their ideological differences to see the economy as a machine in much the same way as doctors see bodies as a machine and look at the relationships of cholesterol and heart attacks analytically rather than ideologically. The Template This study is presented in three parts: • In Part 1, “The Formula For Economic Success,” we show how indicators of countries’ productivity and indebtedness would have predicted their subsequent 10-year growth rates going back 70 years, and how these economic health indicators can be used to both predict and shape the long-term economic health of countries.

Guynn The U.S. real estate bubble that popped in 2007 launched a sort of impersonal chevauchée1 that randomly destroyed trillions of dollars of value for nearly a year. It culminated in a worldwide financial panic during September and October of 2008.2 The most serious recession since the Great Depression followed.3 Central banks and governments throughout the world responded by flooding the markets with money and other liquidity, reducing interest rates, nationalizing or providing extraordinary assistance to major financial institutions, increasing government spending, and taking other creative steps to provide financial assistance to the markets.4 Only recently have markets begun to stabilize, but they remain fragile, like a man balancing on one leg.5 The United States and other governments have responded to the financial crisis by proposing the broadest set of regulatory reforms Partner and Head of the Financial Institutions Group, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, New York, New York.

Vol. No. 26 -- 02 FROM OUR AUDIENCE OF GAMESTOP, “REDDIT REVOLUTIONS” AND MORE LUNACY Chris, I’m sure I’m not the only one to ask you about this. But I was wondering if you would be offering your subscribers a deeper take on what happened with $GME and /r/wallstreetbets? Besides it being interesting cocktail party conversation what’s it say about the smoke and mirrors of the market or shorts like the ones we are currently in? _______________________________________________________ At left, Thursday’s New York Post headline speaks to the “Mad” nature of markets of late; though who exactly is most mad (CRAZY) is a matter of debate! And the craziness was augmented this (Friday) morning by Tesla founder and boss Elon Musk who—merely by adding that Bitcoin hashtag to his Twitter page—caused an immediate 15% spike in that alleged “currency.” Crazy times!! Yes indeed, I’ve had a few folks asking for my take on all this silliness; among them my friend Drew Mariani at Relevant Radio, who I joined on short notice for an initial quick synopsis of all this yesterday at the end of his show (at https://relevantradio.com/2021/01/transg ender-push-in-culture/ ). We were rushed there, so I made but a few of my key points. But here, I’ll dig deeper. * Populist Peasants with Pitchforks. .or so the story goes Hey…who doesn’t like a great David vs. Goliath-type story? And that’s exactly what undergirds the unprecedented activity on Wall Street these last several trading days where a handful of heavily-shorted stocks have been concerned.

    Blackrock May Never Bring 100% of Staff to Office After Coronavirus

    Login Watch TV BLACKROCK · Published 23 hours ago BlackRock may never bring 100% of staff to office after coronavirus 'I really am worried about this whole idea of culture': Fink By Jonathan Garber FOXBusiness Some bank jobs may work from home indefinitely: Report FOX Business' Charlie Gasparino says banks are telling personnel that nonessential New York City staff could be working from home well into 2021, and UBS brokers have reportedly been alerted they may not return until April 2021. BlackRock Inc. may never fully return to its pre-coronavirus routine after measures to prevent the disease's spread forced employees to work from home, according to CEO Larry Fink. It's unlikely the multitrillion-dollar asset manager's staff will ever be "100% back in oce,” Fink said Thursday at the Morningstar Investment Conference, according to CNBC. “I actually believe maybe 60% or 70%, and maybe that’s a rotation of people.” Stock Symbol BLK Stock Name BLACKROCK INC.

Fink, however, is worried about the impact on the company’s culture. Consistently ranked as one of the best places to work, BlackRock reopened its New York oce on July 20, but said employees have the option to work remotely for the rest of the year.

    Lessons from the Financial Crisis What Have We

    LESSONS FROM THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? BUSINESS JOURNALISTS SPEAK OUT. Tatiana Darie Randall Smith, Project Chair PROFESSIONAL ANALYSIS ARTICLE This research project aims to explore what lessons have business journalists learned from covering the biggest story of the decade: the financial crisis. Through a series of in-depth interviews with top editors and reporters who were setting the agenda seven years ago and are leaders in the newsroom today, this study wants to investigate the following research question: How has the financial crisis changed the way business journalists do their jobs today? Seven years on, what lessons have been learned? More importantly, this study wants to assess to what extent has that knowledge translated into real changes in the industry? An answer to this question would identify what tools and indicators are journalists watching now to be able to see and avert the next financial or economic collapse. Probing theories of gatekeeping and social responsibility, this paper sets out to determine how the recession has changed the roles, duties, and constraints of business journalism. RQ: How has the financial crisis changed the way business journalists do their jobs today? Theoretical Framework Gatekeeping One of the oldest and most applicable theories in mass communication research relevant to this study is gatekeeping – a concept that describes how media organizations filter information for publication (Shoemaker & Vos, 2009). Mass audiences rely and trust journalists to scan the world’s most important events and stories into digestible snippets of information. Gatekeeping explains how and why certain stories make it out in the public while others don’t (5).
