Financial Crisis Quotes - Page 5

• The rich believe that they're different and that it is their right to pay a much lower tax rate. The response that you see from people on Wall Street, their dismissal and their almost contempt for the concerns about their culpability in the financial crisis, about the income inequality, shows that they are completely out of touch.

• Estas dos entidades, Fannie Mae y Freddie Mac, no se enfrentan a ningún tipo de crisis financiera. Cuanta más gente exagere estos problemas, cuanta más presión haya sobre estas empresas, menos veremos en términos de vivienda asequible.

• As the United States continues its slow but steady recovery from the depths of the financial crisis, nobody actually wants a massive austerity package to shock the economy back into recession, and so the odds have always been high that the game of budgetary chicken will stop short of disaster. Looming past the cliff, however, is a deep chasm that poses a much greater challenge -- the retooling of the country's economy, society, and government necessary for the United States to perform effectively in the twenty-first century.

• El futuro será menos predecible, las previsiones de crecimiento se reducirán, la vida de las empresas se acortará, proliferarán los nuevos competidores y todo será cada vez más impredecible. Si pensabas que las crisis financieras iban y venían, cuenta con ellas: otro colapso económico, casi va a ser como si ya no hubiera noticias. Pero para las startups esto es genial, porque es un motor perpetuo de disrupción.

• The Death of Money is an engrossing account of the massive stresses accumulating in the global financial system, especially since the 2008 financial crisis. Jim Rickards is a natural teacher. Any serious student of financial crises and their root causes needs to read this book.

• Aquí Hillary Clinton se sale con la suya atando a los republicanos a los ricos. Está vinculando al Partido Republicano con Wall Street, con los grandes bancos. Está vinculando al Partido Republicano con la crisis financiera de 2008. Todo es culpa suya. Se vincula a sí misma como defensora de las personas con bajos ingresos y de la clase media estadounidense. No saben que no son los republicanos los que se acuestan con los bancos. No saben que son los bancos los que prácticamente están pagando y suscribiendo el Partido Demócrata y Hillary Clinton hoy.

• Además de las dos guerras que heredó en Irak y Afganistán, y a las que prometió poner fin, una crisis financiera interna había llevado a Estados Unidos al borde de otra Gran Depresión. Cuando hablamos con el nuevo presidente en marzo de 2009, la economía perdía 800.000 puestos de trabajo al mes, el gobierno destinaba cientos de miles de millones de dólares a los bancos en quiebra y la industria automovilística estaba al borde del colapso. Golpeado políticamente por todos lados, Obama hizo todo lo posible por mantener el sentido del humor.

• La crisis financiera mundial es una gran oportunidad para mostrar y propagar el análisis institucional tanto causal como moral. La crisis muestra fallos importantes en la forma en que se regula el sistema financiero estadounidense y, lo que es más importante, en nuestro sistema político, que es esencialmente un bazar de sobornos legalizados en el que las instituciones financieras pueden comprarse a sí mismas las regulaciones gubernamentales que desean, junto con los reguladores que habitualmente reciben puestos lucrativos en la industria cuya supervisión había sido anteriormente su responsabilidad, la llamada práctica de la puerta giratoria.

• No es exagerado decir que el aumento de la desigualdad ha llevado a muchos del 99% a una zanja financiera. También contribuyó a generar la burbuja inmobiliaria que nos llevó a la crisis financiera de 2008, cuyos efectos persistentes han obligado a muchos manifestantes de OWS a intentar iniciar sus carreras en el mercado laboral más inhóspito que hemos visto desde la Gran Depresión. Incluso los recién licenciados que consigan encontrar trabajo sufrirán una penalización de por vida en forma de salarios reducidos.

• Critics, often for good reason, are concerned that the Fed is wielding its vast powers in the interests of the banks and not in the interests of the people. After the financial crisis, Americans have perceived that the banks have been bailed out, but a significant proportion of the population is still in serious economic trouble.

• It's just very hard to teach a class of students about what has happened in the Global Financial Crisis, how we ended up there and how we got to where we are today, without having some basic, non-trivial understanding of the financial sector, credit, and the banking system.

• People look at the future and see a black hole. They look at climate change and see an ecological crisis. They look at their leaders corrupted by money and see a political crisis. They wonder if they'll ever be able to pay off their student loan or own a house. Given this ecological, political and financial crisis, what they want is a different future. Their fundamental demand is a different regime to provide that future.

• At a Texas college, a football field that was turned into a farm. The Tigers of Paul Quinn College lost more football games than they won on this field. So, years ago, when the historically black college on the South Side of Dallas was in financial crisis and had a 1 percent graduation rate, a new president turned everything over, including the football field.

• En la inmediata posguerra, las crisis financieras en los países avanzados eran acontecimientos poco frecuentes, y antes de 1970 no se producían en absoluto. Desde entonces se han producido con más frecuencia, y 2008 fue la más perjudicial de todas ellas hasta la fecha. Si hemos vuelto a un régimen de crisis financieras regulares -como el que tuvimos desde la década de 1870 hasta la de 1930-, entonces nuestro futuro económico será muy diferente de nuestro pasado reciente.

• The President [Barack Obama], I think if you look at it from his shoes, you know, was facing a very difficult situation where he had to own Washington, tame New York, save a collapsing economy, with a collapsed financial system. He moved, I think, to a team that he felt was tried and true, in terms of dealing with financial crisis. That was his decision.

• Si nos fijamos en lo que pasó, llegué en medio de la peor crisis financiera desde la Gran Depresión. Y a diferencia de Franklin Delano Roosevelt que esperó, bueno, no asumió el cargo hasta unos tres años después de la Gran Depresión, que estaba sucediendo justo cuando fui elegido.

• For the last several decades, there was a prevailing belief among traditional economists that the markets were rational and self-correcting. Alan Greenspan advocated this view. But the 2008 financial crisis showed that this view is incorrect, and Greenspan eventually admitted as much.

• When I was in government, the South African economy was growing at 4.5% - 5%. But then came the global financial crisis of 2008/2009, and so the global economy shrunk. That hit South Africa very hard, because then the export markets shrunk, and that includes China, which has become one of the main trade partners with South Africa. Also, the slowdown in the Chinese economy affected South Africa. The result was that during that whole period, South Africa lost something like a million jobs because of external factors.
