It\u2019s Time to Unleash the Public Markets<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is a new Barron\u2019s<\/em> op-ed<\/a> endorsing the SEC’s \u201crapacious deregulatory zeal.\u201d Lest you think me a MAGA fanatic, my previous op-ed attacked the lawlessness of Trump’s tariffs<\/a>. John Authers approvingly remembers my 2010 book arguing for tough banking rules as\u00a0 \u201cstraightforward polemic.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Free-thinking, open-minded discourse is also at the heart of a \u201cCouncil for Transformative Enterprise\u201d that some colleagues and I are promoting. We are inspired by Ned Phelps\u2019s now defunct Center on Capitalism and Society. (A couple of us were founding members of the Center and I started and edited its eponymous journal.)  However, our renewal project emphasizes progress in Science, Technology and Art, more strongly. Its aims also align closely with my course on transformative medical advances<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a one-page summary<\/a>. If you would like to help organize the Council and participate in its activities, please email me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if anyone would consider a \u201cnaming\u201d gift\u2013or housing it in an existing Foundation \u2013 and shaping its mission  we\u2019d be immensely grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing you all a happy new year! The world was less awful in 2025 than in 2024. May it continue this trajectory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
