The long literature on financial crises and banking … has also been doing exactly the same….” John H. Cochrane (2011a) “I believe that during the last financial crisis, macroeconomists (and I include myself among them) failed the country, and indeed the world.

Macroeconomics should have been able to provide that playbook. It could not…” Narayana Kocherlakota (2010) -

Annual Newsletter | JUNE 2020 | hbscny.org Harvard Business School’s New York Benefactor George Fisher Baker, Sr. was so taciturn that some of his contemporaries called him the Sphinx of Wall Street. He had not uttered a word to a newspaper reporter between 1863 and 1923. But his generosity spoke volumes. At the age of 16, George F. Baker began working in the State of New York’s Banking Department as the most junior clerk. Baker proved to be one of the department’s The Mission of the HBS Club of New York most efficient and highest paid clerks.

Their growth is more than an Iopportunity to access new markets; by embracing the fresh perspectives that other business cultures offer, we expand our own understanding of the challenges presented by globalization and share it with students and alumni. At the same time, it presents us with an opportunity to share the core values of IESE around the world, and to deepen our legacy of leadership built on excellence, integrity and service to the communities in which we live. A significant step in IESE’s global development this year has been the opening of our new campus in Munich. I was honored to join more than 300 IESE alumni and business leaders on June 29 for the official opening ceremony, which featured a keynote presentation by Franz M. Haniel, chairman of the Haniel Group, one of Europe’s largest family-owned companies. The modern, permanent headquarters in Germany marks the beginning of a new chapter in the school’s 10-year history of activity there. It will allow us to meet better the needs of companies and executives in Germany and Central Europe, including our more than 1,100 German, Austrian and Swiss alumni. -

Drexels Belittled Monetary Silver! Drexels Wanted World Wars! Drexels Chasing World Seafloor Wealth! www.silverstealers.net www.nosilvernationalization.org https://www.facebook.com/charles.savoie.96387 https://www.silvermarketnewsonline.com/archives.htm Note new site of possible interest to Texas residents www.texaspetprotect.org Continuing to rebut this pitiful widespread illness that causes dimwits to holler “no one has any money but the Rothschilds,” we now present an account of the super-important Drexel family, connected by marriage to the inordinately influential Astor dynasties; with both super dynasties well represented in The Pilgrims Society---including in its management! The account of the Drexels, like the Astors, starts in the Old World; in Europe. Francis Martin Drexel was born in Dornbirn in the Tyrol area of Austria on April 7, 1792 and lived until June 5, 1863 when he died of injuries sustained in a train accident; it may be that he as a Philadelphia resident and a greedy banker may have worried whether the North would fail to defeat the South in the Civil War, since it hadn’t yet been decided. He left “an enormous estate.” https://www.loot.co.za/product/books-llc-drexel-family/hhvp- 1358-g520 this source states --- “The company was also involved in financial deals with the federal government during the U.S.-Mexican War.” We read at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Martin_Drexel --- “In 1803, he was sent to study in a Catholic institution near Turin.
