Trust Your Instincts: Blueprint for saving financial system

I thought it would be useful to show how the FDR Framework can be used as the basis for a blueprint to save the global financial system.

The following are a few posts that discuss this blueprint:

How Wall Street rescues Main Street

A "Well-run Bank Needs No Capital"

The FDR Framework provides a roadmap for addressing the European solvency crisis

Contagion: A Wall Street term to remind regulators that they do not know what is going on

Confirmation of assumptions underlying blueprint

About this blog

A blog on all things about Wall Street, global finance and any attempt to regulate it. In short, the future of banking and the global financial system.

This blog will be used to discuss and debate issues not just for specialists, but for anyone who cares about creating good policies in these areas.

At the heart of this blog is the FDR Framework which uses 21st century information technology to combine a philosophy of disclosure with the practice of caveat emptor (buyer beware).

Under the FDR Framework, governments are responsible for ensuring that all market participants have access to all the useful, relevant information in an appropriate, timely manner. Market participants have an incentive to use this data because under caveat emptor they are responsible for all gains and losses on their investments; in short, Trust but Verify.

This blog uses the FDR Framework to explain the cause of the financial crisis and to evaluate financial reforms like the ABS Data Warehouse.
