Nobel Prize-Winning Economist: Federal Reserve System is Corrupt and Undermines Democracy
(Washington's Blog) --
Joseph Stiglitz - former head economist at the World Bank and a nobel-prize winner - said yesterday that the very structure of the Federal Reserve system is so fraught with conflicts that it is "corrupt" and undermines democracy.
Stiglitz said:
"If we [i.e. the World Bank] had seen a governance structure that corresponds to our Federal Reserve system, we would have been yelling and screaming and saying that country does not deserve any assistance, this is a corrupt governing structure."
Stiglitz pointed out that - if another country had presented a plan to reform its financial system, and included a regulatory regime that copied the makeup of the Federal Reserve system - "it would have been a big signal that something is wrong."
Stiglitz stressed that the Fed banks have clear conflicts of interest, since the banks are largely governed by a board of directors that includes officers of the very banks they're supposed to be overseeing:
"So, these are the guys who appointed the guy who bailed them out ... Is that a conflict of interest?
"They would say, 'no conflict of interest, we were just doing our job. But you have to look at the conflicts of interest"...
