  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

  • Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis
    ESSAY 2020-17 | AUGUST 2020 Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis Bradley L. Hardy and Trevon D. Logan i The Hamilton Project • Brookings MISSION STATEMENT The Hamilton Project seeks to advance America’s promise of opportunity, prosperity, and growth. The Project’s economic strategy reflects a judgment that long-term prosperity is best achieved by fostering economic growth and broad participation in that growth, by enhancing individual economic security, and by embracing a role for effective government in making needed public investments. We believe that today’s increasingly competitive global economy requires public policy ideas commensurate with the challenges of the 21st century. Our strategy calls for combining increased public investments in key growth-enhancing areas, a secure social safety net, and fiscal discipline. In that framework, the Project puts forward innovative proposals from leading economic thinkers — based on credible evidence and experience, not ideology or doctrine — to introduce new and effective policy options into the national debate. The Project is named after Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first treasury secretary, who laid the foundation for the modern American economy. Consistent with the guiding principles of the Project, Hamilton stood for sound fiscal policy, believed that broad-based opportunity for advancement would drive American economic growth, and recognized that “prudent aids and encouragements on the part of government” are necessary to enhance and guide market forces. ii The Hamilton Project • Brookings Racial Economic Inequality Amid the COVID-19 Crisis Bradley L.

    McKinsey Global Institute The US Imbalancing Act: Can the Current Account Deficit Continue? June 2007 McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), founded in 1990, is McKinsey & Company’s economics research arm. MGI’s mission is to help business and government leaders develop a deeper understanding of the evolution of the global economy, and provide a fact-base that contributes to decision making on critical management and policy issues. MGI’s research is a unique combination of two disciplines: economics and management. By integrating these two perspectives, MGI is able to gain insights into the microeconomic underpinnings of the broad trends shaping the global economy. MGI has utilized this “micro-to-macro” approach in research covering over 15 countries and 28 industry sectors, on topics that include economic productivity, global economic integration, offshoring, capital markets, health care, energy, demographics, and consumer demand. MGI’s research is conducted by a group of full-time MGI Fellows based in offices in San Francisco, Washington, DC, London, and Shanghai and led by MGI’s director Diana Farrell. MGI project teams also include consultants drawn from McKinsey’s offices around the world, and are supported by McKinsey’s network of industry and management experts and worldwide partners. In addition, MGI teams work with leading economists, including Nobel laureates and policy experts, who act as advisors to MGI projects.

  • Articles with Major Mentions of Michael S. Barr January 20, 2009 – October 31, 2010
    Articles with Major Mentions of Michael S. Barr January 20, 2009 – October 31, 2010 Cheyenne Hopkins, White House backs Itself into a Corner Letting CFPB Remain Leaderless, American Banker, August 27, 2010. WASHINGTON — Although President Obama made the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau a hallmark of the financial reform law enacted July 21, his delay in nominating the agency's first director could hamper its ability to get off the ground. With so much riding on the appointment, several observers had expected Obama to make his choice clear within days of the law's enactment. Instead, the absence of a pick has given rise to a grassroots campaign to appoint Elizabeth Warren to the job, which could create a political issue for the administration whether it ultimately chooses her or not. The Treasury Department, in the meantime, is tasked with getting the agency up and running, and observers said it is critical that a director be nominated and confirmed relatively soon. "There's a lot of operational work that can be done without a director being done, but some of the most profoundly difficult things comes down to having a leader," said Raj Date, the chairman and executive director of the Cambridge Winter Center for Financial Institutions Policy. "Leadership matters. If you are trying to have an agency that attracts the best and brightest for the sector, then you have to have a leader." Creating the consumer bureau was the first in a long list of tasks the agency must accomplish in its first year. Among other things, it must merge mortgage disclosure laws and outline a vision of its own authority.

  • The Future of Work in America: People and Places, Today and Tomorrow and Today Places, and People America: in Work of Future The
    The future of work in America: People and places, today and tomorrow The future of work in America People and places, today and tomorrow July 2019 McKinsey Global Institute Since its founding in 1990, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on employment, income inequality, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and financial globalization. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: Jacques Bughin, Jonathan Woetzel, and James Manyika, who also serves as the chairman of MGI. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, Anu Madgavkar, Jan Mischke, Sree Ramaswamy, and Jaana Remes are MGI partners, and Mekala Krishnan and Jeongmin Seong are MGI senior fellows.

  • This Year's Commencement Speaker, Diana Farrell
    This year’s Commencement speaker, Diana Farrell ’83, has spent her life considering global issues. Growing up in Latin America in a bicultural family — her father is American and her mother is Colombian — along with her four brothers and sisters, Diana says she always has appreciated having strong roots in more than one culture. Her experience at Loomis Chaffee and subsequently at Wesleyan University, where she graduated in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree in economics and a multidisciplinary major in government, history, economics, and social philosophy, fueled an interest in different countries’ approaches to governing and economic development — themes that have carried through her distinguished career. As a director at McKinsey & Company and the global head of the McKinsey Center for Government, Diana helps to move governments and individuals toward an understanding of, in her words, “what works and why, what doesn’t work and why, and how it translates properly into different contexts.” President Barack Obama tapped Diana to serve as a deputy director of the National Economic Council, and in this role she helped steer the country through the tumultuous economic times of the Great Recession. She was the White House point person on the Dodd-Frank Act, working with the Department of Treasury, Congress, and external stakeholders to gain passage of the financial reform bill. Returning to McKinsey after her two-year stint in the White House, her experience continues to inform her work leading research and dialogue on effective government. Diana and her husband, Scott Pearson, who is head of the District of Columbia Charter School Board, live in the Washington, D.C., area with their children, Sonia, 16, and Jasper, 14, both of whom attend a bilingual international school in Washington.
