Sinopse

Banking Reform Starts explores the transformative Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, a cornerstone of U.S. financial regulation enacted in response to the Great Depression. This pivotal legislation aimed to stabilize the American economy by addressing the risky practices that contributed to widespread bank failures.

 
The book dissects the Act's key components: separating commercial and investment banking, establishing the FDIC, and regulating securities activities. Understanding the Act is especially important considering that during the Great Depression, bank failures wiped out savings and crippled the economy, highlighting the urgent need for reform.

 
The book meticulously examines each facet of the Glass-Steagall Act, analyzing its intended purposes, immediate consequences, and enduring impact. It argues that the Act, while not flawless, created a more resilient financial system by curbing excessive risk-taking.

 
The narrative begins by detailing the pre-Act financial landscape and then progresses through a detailed analysis of each section, concluding with an assessment of its long-term legacy, including its eventual modification and repeal. By exploring the history of financial regulation and economic stability, Banking Reform Starts offers valuable insights for understanding current debates and future policy decisions.

The Safety Anarchist - Relying...

Sidney Dekker

Work has never been as safe as it seems today. Safety has also never been as bureaucratized as it is today. Over the past two decades, the number of safety rules and statutes has exploded, and organizations themselves are creating ever more internal compliance requirements. At the same time, progress on safety has slowed to a crawl. Many incident- and injury rates have flatlined. Worse, excellent safety performance on low-consequence events tends to increase the risk of fatalities and disasters. Bureaucracy and compliance now seem less about managing the safety of the workers we are responsible for, and more about managing the liability of the people they work for. We make workers do a lot that does nothing to improve their success locally. Paradoxically, such tightening of safety bureaucracy robs us of exactly the source of human insight, creativity and resilience that can tell us how success is actually created, and where the next accident may well happen. 
It is time for Safety Anarchists: people who trust people more than process, who rely on horizontally coordinating experiences and innovations, who push back against petty rules and coercive compliance, and who help recover the dignity and expertise of human work.
