...officials have been somewhat hesitant to bring the issue of trade imbalances up because it isn't as pressing as getting people back to work and restoring confidence. At the first meeting of the G-20 last fall, it was hardly mentioned at all. But as former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson said in November, it cannot be left untreated over the long term. "The pressure from global imbalances will simply build up again until it finds another outlet," he explained. (Read "The G-20 Summit: Obama Can Stay Home...
Geithner, his predecessor Hank Paulson, FDIC chief Sheila Bair and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke have so far used ad hoc powers to erect two of those crucial four pillars. Last fall they introduced Fed-sponsored insurance for money-market deposits, the equivalent of the FDIC insurance that exists for regular bank accounts. At the same time, they opened Fed lending to financial-services companies, making the Fed the lender of last resort for those firms, just as it is for traditional banks. In the past two days, Geithner unveiled the final two safeguards that he, Bernanke and Bair believe will...
...Here AIG seems an unlikely candidate for the company that could bankrupt the planet. Founded 90 years ago in Shanghai, AIG moved its headquarters to New York City as the world headed toward war in 1939. After Maurice R.

Initial phases of the rescue were orchestrated by ex-Goldman chairman Hank Paulson, who was recruited as Treasury Secretary in part by former White House chief of staff and Goldman senior exec Josh Bolten. Goldman's current boss, Lloyd Blankfein, was invited to participate in meetings with the Fed. AIG's Liddy is a former Goldman director...
LaRoe started getting calls immediately. People who had pledged to invest half a million dollars were dialing back to $200,000. Those who had been offering $200,000 were opting out altogether. Throughout the fall, the hits kept coming. Washington Mutual collapsed. Wachovia was sold off. Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson went before Congress begging for money, looking as if he'd seen a ghost. "It got to the point where I didn't want to pick up the paper or turn on the TV," says LaRoe. "The mantra I kept singing was 'This is perfect, guys. This is perfect...
