Monday, March 22, 2010 www.daily49er.com [email protected] Accountability, simplicity needed on Wall Street

“Greed, for a lack of better words, is good.” Adam Smith echoed these words anachronisti- cally in his perennial work on capitalism, and 200 years later the fictional investor Gordon Gekko Opinions popularized the actual phrase in Oliver Stone’s Our View film “Wall Street.” Fictional or not, Gekko’s application of this supposed maxim highlights what’s truly wrong with the capitalism that runs rampant on today’s Wall Street. In 1776, Smith described a system of econom- ics — never using the word “capitalism” — with an underlying faith in humanity. The economist believed that even “the most hardened violator of the laws of society” had an interest in the happi- ness of his fellow man. He believed “greed” to be a means to prosperity, not only for its possessors, but for their community. The concept was simple: The natural fluctuations of a free market i.e. the financial transactions of this market, would occur in a way that benefitted all. This benefit would occur not in the egalitarian sense of communism, but in a manner that rewarded the ef- forts of those involved. How is this possible? A lack of complexity coupled with morality would render all financial transactions just. In others words, people would know what was best for themselves. Nowadays, the ability to discern benefit in financial transactions has been circumvented with a lack of simplicity and a lack of accountability has all but eliminated morality. The capitalism of Wall Street hides behind the guise of complexity. Unregulated capitalism works justly when people are moral and things are simple. Anything else needs regulation. In the world of limited liability, corporations, derivatives, credit default swaps, hedge funds and all other sorts of extravagant financial transactions, the market needs name Repo 105, for $100 dollars and then later buy them back at the assets off its balance sheets. regulation. market price plus interest.
