...only took his first case to make him realize that this was not his public service dream come true. The assignment was heady stuff, a hedge fund insider-trading case that possibly involved one of Wall Street's top executives, John J. Mack, the current CEO of Morgan Stanley. Aguirre threw himself into it with furious energy, and was not intimidated going up against dozens of defense lawyers.

"The best response from the high-wage developed world is to uncover new sources of job creation rather than protect the old ones," says Morgan Stanley's chief economist, Stephen Roach. "That's precisely what worked when farmers were displaced by the Industrial Revolution, when sweatshop workers lost their jobs to automated assembly lines, and when the U.S. Rust Bowl was hollowed out in the early 1980s." Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin agrees, but when he talks about the economic challenges facing the U.S., his tone takes on an edge...
