Public Citizen Safety Glass ighty years ago, on June 16, 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Banking Act, E also known as “Glass-Steagall,” in reference to Sen. Carter Glass (D-Va.) and Rep. Henry Steagall (D-Ala.). The law created deposit insurance, with the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. In exchange for guaranteeing the deposits of bank customers, Glass-Steagall steered FDIC banks into engaging in socially useful activity, notably making loans to businesses and consumers. In effect, Glass-Steagall forced the mega-banks of the day to sell off their investment divisions.

  • Confidential-Sample Chapters Full Text On
    CONFIDENTIAL-SAMPLE CHAPTERS FULL TEXT ON REQUEST Praise for $uperHubs “In $uperHubs, Ms. Navidi skillfully applies network science to the global finan- cial system and the human networks that underpin it. $uperHubs is a topical and relevant book that should be read by anyone seeking a fresh perspective on the human endeavor that is our financial system.” CONFIDENTIAL-SAMPLE—PROFESSOR LAWRENCE H. SUMMERS, CHAPTERS Harvard; former US Secretary of the Treasury, former Director of the US National Economic Council, former president of Harvard University, and author “Sandra Navidi’s book $uperHubs is beautifully and effectively done. Not only is it a fascinating description of the power wielded by elite networks over the financial sector, it is also a meditation on the consequences of this system for FULLthe economy TEXT and the society. ON In recentREQUEST times, we have seen extraordinary rup- tures—notably Britain’s vote to break away from the European Union and the intensified sense of exclusion felt by much of America’s working class. The last chapter of $uperHubs proposes that this ruling system›s “monoculture,” its iso- lation from the rest of society, and its seeming unawareness of the fragility of what it has built are largely responsible for these ruptures, and that the system may lead to a major crisis in the future.” —PROFESSOR EDMUND S. PHELPS, Columbia University, 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics; Director, Center on Capitalism and Society, and author “$uperHubs” is a book written with great style but also containing a lot of impor- tant substance. The style is so engaging, a real page turner, that I finished it in one non-stop session.

I head financial services practice and based in the New York office. What I am going to do is essentially in the abbreviated version and the time that we have, we will run you through a very quick presentation. You have a snapshot of that already and we will open it up for questions. The financial services industry is actually a very interesting inflexion point and consequently so is our service that we are providing to them. We believe that the kind of work that we are doing for financial services companies is also at a fairly interesting inflexion point. You will know that financial services is actually our largest practice and our sweet spot and we have done a significant number of things, lot of them are pending to become more commoditized or more generalized and we clearly see the need for differentiating ourselves in terms of the value proposition referring to the table. So, Nandan talked a lot about the things flat. So, I am just going to quickly explain all those parts here in terms of what is happening with regard to that in financial services. Opening up of emerging economies is a big play in terms of the power shift if you will more towards Asia. India and China continue to be extremely big players. Structural shift in demographics, this is about especially in the U.S.

  • The Expansion of the CBC Northern Service and Community Radio
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by YorkSpace Cultural imperialism of the North? The expansion of the CBC Northern Service and community radio Anne F. MacLennan York University Abstract Radio broadcasting spread quickly across southern Canada in the 1920s and 1930s through the licensing of private independent stations, supplemented from 1932 by the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission and by its successor, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, from 1936. Broadcasting in the Canadian North did not follow the same trajectory of development. The North was first served by the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals that operated the Northwest Territories and Yukon Radio System from 1923 until 1959. The northern Canadian radio stations then became part of the CBC. This work explores the resistance to the CBC Northern Broadcasting Plan of 1974, which envisaged a physical expansion of the network. Southern programming was extended to the North; however, indigenous culture and language made local northern programmes more popular. Efforts to reinforce local programming and stations were resisted by the network, while community groups in turn rebuffed the network’s efforts to expand and establish its programming in the North, by persisting in attempts to establish a larger base for community radio. Keywords Canadian radio CBC Northern Service community radio indigenous culture broadcasting Inuktitut Fears of American cultural domination and imperialism partially guided the creation of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission in 1932 and its successor the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 1936. However, the possibility of the CBC assuming the role of cultural imperialist when it introduced and extended its service to the North is rarely considered.

  • Economic Benefits of Architectural Conservation for the Tourism and Film and Television Industries Architectural Conservancy Ontario 2 in Ontario
    Graphic Standards Manual 2.0 The New Brand Architectural Conservancy Ontario’s (ACO) new brand has been designed to increase overall public awareness of the organization and to help consolidate a network of branches. The focal point of the logo is the acronym (ACO) within a square shape. Structurally, a plus sign divides the shape into four quadrants – the letter A occupies one half of the square and the letters C and O the other half. The letterforms, like the structure, are very simple. The terracotta colour was chosen to reflect the colour of brick often found in historical Ontario buildings. The new logo becomes a unifying symbol for the organization – enabling each branch office to attach to the ACO logo an image that is relevant to their community. And finally, the logo will provide a striking and memorable image of ACO when it appears on project site signage throughout the province. ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVANCY Old Logo ONTARIO Economic Benefits of Architectural Conservation for the Tourism and Film and Television Industries Architectural Conservancy Ontario 2 in Ontario by Stephanie Mah for Architectural Conservancy Ontario February 18 th, 2015 Economic Benefits of Architectural Conservation for the Tourism Industry Tourism is a source of substantial economic benefits in Ontario and one of it most potent attractions, is architectural heritage.

  • Moving Higher Education to Its Next Stage
    MOVING HIGHER EDUCATION TO ITS NEXT STAGE: A New Set of Societal Challenges, a New Stage of Life, and a Call to Action for Universities Rosabeth Moss Kanter Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor Rakesh Khurana Associate Professor Nitin Nohria Richard P. Chapman Professor Harvard Business School October 25, 2005 Acknowledgements: David Gergen has been an insightful participant in the development of these ideas. Valuable comments and criticisms were provided by colleagues in many Schools across Harvard University, including Mary Jo Bane, Barry Bloom, Derek Bok, David Ellwood, Allen Grossman, Ronald Heifetz, Howard Koh, Dutch Leonard, Kathleen McCartney, Robert Mnookin, Joseph Nye, and Howard Stevenson. Helpful contributions were also made by Tom Tierney and Jeff Bradach of Bridgespan Group and Harvard research associates Robert Tichio, Mike Kernish, Noah Kindler, Ryan Raffaelli and Daniel Penrice, along with faculty assistants Cheryl Daigle, Emily Hall and Alison Comings. Working Paper © 2005 by R.M. Kanter, R. Khurana, & N. Nohria. All rights reserved Executive Summary This paper describes a new model for universities: a third stage of education (beyond undergraduate and graduate/professional schools) to prepare experienced leaders, in the period of their lives once called “retirement,” for service activities addressing societal problems. This white paper is a proposal for universities to develop what could be the next great innovation in American (and global) higher education, on par with the creation of the modern graduate and professional school in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It is a vision rooted in the notion that the purpose of the university is to serve society, and societal change demands innovation.
