The banks are bamboozling us again

In the name of stability the comptroller has ignored many of the banks’ offenses.

A Martian just wouldn’t get it

Mind-bogglingly little attention is being paid to the fierce debate in the legislature over the Bachar Commission banking reform proposals, on which the nation’s democratic fabric and even its very survival depends.

Welcome home, Stanley Fischer

The enthusiastic reception to the appointment of Stanley Fischer as governor of the Bank of Israel – mostly by those who understand economics – and the negative reactions by so many other public figures help illuminate why our civil service seldom recruits top talent.

Israel’s financial revolution

On Sunday, November 14th, the Israeli government passed a resolution to finally reform its regressive financial markets. If ratified by the Knesset and implemented, despite the present political crisis, the reform will break up the destructive bank duopoly of Hapoalim and Leumi that has strangled the Israeli economy worse than did the banks in Japan.

Expert witness syndrome

Did you ever hear expert witnesses – reputable professionals – cast doubt on a matter they are so generously paid to advocate? Of course not. Expert witnesses are handsomely rewarded to deliver. Additional lucrative assignments would not materialize should they fail to be totally loyal to their clients’ cases.

The banks fight dirty

If anyone had doubts about the corrupting effects of the absolute economic and financial power our bank duopoly wields, the multi-million shekel campaign they have recently launched in an effort to block Netanyahu’s bold financial market reform, should remove them. The campaign has revealed to what length the bankers are willing to go in order to preserve a monopolistic system that has enriched them personally but has impoverished everyone else, a system that is responsible for most of the ills afflicting the Israeli economy.
