Why did the regulatory system (broadly defined) fail to moderate the financial market trends that led up to the outbreak of the crisis in 2007? The Crisis precipitated long overdue changes in the architecture of global financial regulation. The G20 took over from the G7 as the key political body. The Financial Stability Board was renamed and given a new role of co-ordinating the activities of sectoral regulators. How will these changes affect the character of regulation?

See post and transcript here thinkprogress.org EXCLUSIVE: Eric Cantor Promises Oil Speculators That Republicans Will Block Financial Regulations House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) visited the Chicago headquarters of the CME Group, "the world's largest owner and operator" of private exchanges for derivatives products. CME Group specializes in a number of markets, including trading futures contracts for various blends of crude oil and food commodities. Cantor met with executives, and at one point, gave brief remarks before CME Group employees and various commodity speculators. Cantor told the audience of speculators that his Republican caucus would "do our part" to block the implementation of financial reforms passed last year as part of the sweeping Dodd-Frank law. He even called out the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the regulators in charge of overseeing derivatives and energy speculation, and promised to stop regulations from going online: Currently, energy speculation is at an all time record high. In 2008, according to many analysts, oil speculation — which took place on unregulated private exchanges owned by the CME Group and a set of international exchanges — spiked gas prices to unprecedented levels. Now, excessive oil speculation is again driving the pain at the pump. While Goldman Sachs has claimed that at least $25 of the current price of crude oil is due to speculation, financial experts contacted by ThinkProgress say the Goldman Sachs number <b>...</b>

President Obama announced the introduction of the new consumer financial protection agency, which will execute a plan for regulation reform that would improve the current "patchwork system" full of outdated regulations and lax oversight that helped lead to last year's crisis," and "stand up, not for big banks, not for financial firms, but for hard-working Americans." Such changes, he says, would prevent consumers becoming victims of "predatory practices of some in the financial industry." "Americans... are counting on us to be their advocates," Obama said. He also commented on those "butcher" ads attacking the agency, saying that it would put small businesses out of businesses. "I don't know how many of your butchers are offering financial services," he says. "We can't let speciail interests win this fight."

Ron Paul says the monetary system is the cause of the crisis, and giving more power to the Fed doesn't make sense since they are the cause of the crisis. The original language of HR 1207, calling for a full audit of the Fed, was neutered but there is still a chance to revive the original intent. Without a full audit, we will never understand why bubbles form and why more regulations fail. The Fed audit that Paul is calling for does not challenge the supposed independence of the Federal Reserve.

VICTORIA MCGRANE AND JON HILSENRATH The Wall Street Journal February 22, 2012 The Federal Reserve has operated almost entirely behind closed doors as it rewrites the rule book governing the US financial system, a stark contrast with its push for transparency in its interest-rate policies and emergency-lending programs. While many Americans may not realize it, the Fed has taken on a much larger regulatory role than at any time in history. Since the Dodd-Frank financial overhaul became law in July 2010, the Fed has held 47 separate votes on financial regulations, and scores more are coming.

Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Well-known analyst Merideth Whitney says the middle class is being "De-Banked" in her view, due to new regulations that go "too far in the other direction" in regulating wall street. But is this really true, or do the new regulations just punish the little guys or the yet-to-be (and maybe never become-at-all financial start-ups) financial services firms at the expense of the big boys on wall street? And speaking of the big boys of wall street, how exactly have they been doing on the latest piece of regulation meant to end proprietary trading by these firms from destabilizing the global financial markets and the global economy? We speak, of course, about the Volker Rule, which is Washington's attempt to "roll back" some of risky practices embraced by wall-street after the end of Glass-Steagal in the late 90's. Now, this is just one piece of regulation, but it is a start in a long battle to protect the vast majority of economic participants from having the reckless behavior and risky positions of these too-big-to-fail banks from destroying their financial futures. We speak to two members of "Occupy the SEC" - Alexis Goldstein and Caitlin Kline -- who have been working hard to protect you and me from the watering-down efforts that go on behind closed doors once bills have been passed and move back to the agencies to get "fleshed out."

"I think there's growing understanding of how terrible this law really is," says The Economist's Tom Easton of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Dodd-Frank was passed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, and Easton is one of the very select few who have read the entire sweeping bill. He asserts that "the single most indicting read on Dodd-Frank, is to read Dodd-Frank itself." To those who feel that the financial crisis was caused by a lack of regulation, Easton counters, "the argument that there needs to be more regulations (on banks) is frankly ludicrous if you look at how they were regulated before."

Arnaud from Brussels asks: "My question for European officials is: how far are we going to let rating agencies dictate how European stock markets are run, and are we ever going to react against this speculative lobbying?" Thierry Philipponnat, Secretary General of public interest association Finance Watch, responds: "That's a good question. We can't let this diktak continue. There's a very simple solution. It's to permit investors to follow the rating agencies' opinions without being obliged to. We're in an absurd system today in which, once an agency's opinion is given, the investor is obliged to follow that opinion. Why? Because the ratings are in the financial regulations. So we have to get rid of all reference to the ratings in the rules so investors can follow the ratings if they want to. They are free to - fine - but are not obliged to. That's really the key." Sébastien, from Brussels, asks: "My question is as follows: which of Europe's directives concern how the rating agencies are financed?" Philipponnat responds: "The alternative to the borrower paying the agency would be that the investor pays the agency. The potential conflict of interest would not be the same but it could be just as real. The essential question is to ensure <b>...</b>

JPMorgan Chase, the nation's largest bank, is under fire after losing at least $2 billion in derivatives trading it was warned carried high risk. The loss has renewed calls for tougher regulation of Wall Street, with critics saying JPMorgan could have avoided it under regulations the bank opposed. We're joined by former financial regulator, white collar criminologist, and University of Missouri-Kansas City Professor William Black, author of "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One." Black says JPMorgan's latest woes stem from the flaws endemic to "too big too fail." "Allowing [banks] to be this big, even conservative economists call this 'crony capitalism,'" Black says. "The only way this can work is to shrink the systemically dangerous institutions -- the 20 largest banks in the United States -- down to the point that they no longer pose a systemic risk. [When] they are no longer too big to fail, they will no longer have this implicit federal subsidy that completely distorts competition [and] ... destroys democracy because these giant institutions have so much political power."

As the one-year anniversary of TARP chugs into view, Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie sat down with Reason Foundation policy analyst Anthony Randazzo to look at the next round of comprehensive financial regulations being crafted in Washington, DC The short version? Get ready for government oversight of just about every burp, hiccup, and fart in the economic system, from payday loans to "systemic risk." Three major proposals are high on President Barack Obama's fall agenda and if pending legislation passes, says Randazzo, the government will create a multi-tiered system for identifying financial institutions that are explicitly "too big to fail." The likely result? Far less choice and innovation for consumers and industry alike, a slower and weaker recovery, and a huge bill for taxpayers. For more details, read Randazzo's new study, "The Future of Too Big To Fail and Bailouts."

Speaker: Professor Costas Markides Chair: Howard Davies This event was recorded on 22 November 2010 in Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building Lots of people did many stupid things for us to get into the current financial mess. Now, the government is stepping up efforts to impose stricter financial regulations to ensure that such things do not happen in future. Will more regulation work? If history is any guide, the answer is no. Over the last 100 years, we've had a financial crisis every 15-20 years. Every time one took place, the government would step in and impose more regulation - only for another crisis to occur 15-20 years later. Why is that? Costas Markides is the Robert P.

Should financial products be subject to the same kind of consumer protection and quality control as other products like pharmaceuticals? Virtually every product that can be bought and sold is covered by regulations and often there is issues related to social benefits.

In the first episode of Meltdown, we hear about four men who brought down the global economy: a billionaire mortgage-seller who fooled millions; a high-rolling banker with a fatal weakness; a ferocious Wall Street predator; and the power behind the throne. The crash of September 2008 brought the largest bankruptcies in world history, pushing more than 30 million people into unemployment and bringing many countries to the edge of insolvency. Wall Street turned back the clock to 1929. But how did it all go so wrong? Lack of government regulation; easy lending in the US housing market meant anyone could qualify for a home loan with no government regulations in place. Also, London was competing with New York as the banking capital of the world. Gordon Brown, the British finance minister at the time, introduced 'light touch regulation' - giving bankers a free hand in the marketplace. All this, and with key players making the wrong financial decisions, saw the world's biggest financial collapse.

Ms. Rogers got involved in natural gas when she learned that an energy company planned 12 high impact wells next to her property, Deborah's Farmstead, a nationally recognized artisanal cheese-making dairy. Her website, Energy Policy Forum (energypolicyforum.com discusses the complex problems inherent in shale gas. In September 2011, New York State issued a second draft generic environmental impact statement, as well as proposed regulations to guide hydro-fracking drilling in New York. The comment period is still open, so New Yorkers need to inform themselves on this issue and make their views and concerns known to the Department of Environmental Conservation.

For the latest Peter Schiff, go to PeterSchiffBlog.com - It would be nice to see Bernanke give a press conference while he is hooked up to a lie detector test. He looks like a man who knows he is lying and someone who is always worried that someone is going to ask him a question that he won't be able to lie his way out of.

Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before the Senate today - last week he testified before the House - and the media wanted to hear if the "good" US jobs report, which came out since he last spoke, changes anything about monetary policy. The jobs report has been deemed "good" because the headline unemployment number went down a little to 8.3%. Bernanke actually said this understates the weakness of the labor market, but do these monthly numbers matter at all? People who crunch the numbers seem to say no. David Stockman, Ronald Reagan's former budget director in an email that's been made public wrote you basically can pick and choose what you want from the reports to support your thesis but, "In short, if you spend a little time with these numbers you will know that they are being made up." John Mauldin, financial expert was writing about something similar that these numbers are subject to large revisions up or down - so take them with a grain of salt. So if that's the case and the Bureau of Labor Statistics is the emperor wearing no clothes, coming out with these meaningless numbers each month, why are markets and the media glued to them? We will be speaking with Nomi Prins during the show, and will ask her what she things about this purported oddity of markets hanging on news that the may see as highly dubious. And speaking of news the markets and media hang on - Greek leaders are still in talks over a debt deal - and the <b>...</b>

He claims he is clueless about how and where the possible $1.2 billion dollars of his client's money is that is missing. How has all of this happened three years after the financial crisis when Wall Street was supposed to be reined in? And can we expect anything o change? We speak to William K. Black, a former regulator who during the Savings and Loan crisis oversaw more than 10000 criminal referrals, 1000 felony convictions, and where hundreds of bankers went to prison. He says Corzine doesn't have a viable defense of being not involved in the firm's day to day activities with this much money at stake, but that the Justice Department has been the dog that "refuses to bark" when it comes to prosecuting financial executives.
