International Finance Regulation
As the global market expands, the need for international regulation becomes urgent Since World War II, financial crises have been the result of macroeconomic instability until the fatidic week end of September 15 2008, when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. The financial system had become the source of its own instability through a combination of greed, lousy underwriting, fake ratings and regulatory negligence. From that date, governments tried to put together a new regulatory framework that would avoid using taxpayer money for bailout of banks. In an uncoordinated effort, they produced a series of vertical regulations that are disconnected from one another. That will not be sufficient ...
Wall Street’s Assault on Democracy
On November 24, 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, the Dow Jones Index surpassed 30,000 points for the first time ever. This historic moment exposed the incredible disconnect between financial markets and society. The stock market’s one hundred percent rebound was triggered by a massive injection of capital by the US Federal Reserve and by fiscal stimulus measures that reached $16 trillion globally in only a year. It was the taxpayer who came to the aid of the shareholders. This imbalance between low- and high-income individuals has become unbearable and calls into question the mechanisms that allow such an abuse of financial power to exist. This abuse has allowed populism to flouris...

No one can resist Victoria Leung. She’s beautiful, brilliant, and fearless.

Trahison de la finance (La)
Le choc provoqué par la crise financière est considérable. Comment quelques centaines de dirigeants d’institutions financières ont-ils réussi à jouer à la roulette russe le sort de l’économie mondiale ? Qui leur a donné ce pouvoir ? Si les différents plans de sauvetage ont eu massivement recours à l’aide publique, c’est parce que les gouvernements, les autorités de contrôle et les banques centrales ont leur part de responsabilité dans la plus grande débâcle depuis 1929. Et c’est aussi parce que, dans le système que nous avons construit, le reste de l’économie est pris en otage par les financiers. Comment desserrer cette emprise ? Comment retrouver une croissance et une confiance autres qu’illusoires ? Figure haute en couleur de la finance mondiale et esprit libre, Georges Ugeux livre le point de vue tout sauf lénifiant d’un expert. Banquier d’affaires d’origine belge, Georges Ugeux a été vice-président du New York Stock Exchange. Il dirige aujourd’hui une minibanque d’affaires internationale basée à New York. Son blog du Monde suscite fréquemment le débat.
