• She [Carolyn Maloney] understands the whole picture. She is comfortable with these issues 'cause she is chair of the committee, and she's dogged and will make sure the average woman and man is represented as well as making sure that our financial system stays afloat. In other words, she gets it and she has represented the financial district, but she also represents the average person and definitely the average woman.

• I would very honestly just tell you that what I tried to do was simply respond to inquiries from people as they came in. Where I've thought I could say something useful, I've tried to add a voice that was, frankly, a dissident voice earlier on, but one that I think has become a more mainstream voice-and not because I've shifted. I think that the critique I had of what was going on in our financial system from six, eight years ago-after seeing some of what we've suffered through and even since the cataclysm itself-in terms of the structural changes.

• The recent trading environment has felt something like walking into a place and having a sense that something is wrong and dangerous but not knowing exactly what will happen or when. “QE Infinity” has so distorted the prices of stocks and bonds that nobody can possibly determine what the investing landscape would look like, or what the condition of the economy and financial system would be, in the absence of Fed bond-buying.

• A possibility is that we see more and more leverage, and credit-to-GDP ratios rise once more to even higher levels; eventually the banking systems of all advanced economies reach magnitudes of 500 percent, 1000 percent or more of GDP, so that every economy starts to have financial systems that resemble recent cases like Switzerland, Ireland, Iceland, or Cyprus. That might be a very fragile world to live in.

• La crisis financiera mundial es una gran oportunidad para mostrar y propagar el análisis institucional tanto causal como moral. La crisis muestra fallos importantes en la forma en que se regula el sistema financiero estadounidense y, lo que es más importante, en nuestro sistema político, que es esencialmente un bazar de sobornos legalizados en el que las instituciones financieras pueden comprarse a sí mismas las regulaciones gubernamentales que desean, junto con los reguladores que habitualmente reciben puestos lucrativos en la industria cuya supervisión había sido anteriormente su responsabilidad, la llamada práctica de la puerta giratoria.

• The President [Barack Obama], I think if you look at it from his shoes, you know, was facing a very difficult situation where he had to own Washington, tame New York, save a collapsing economy, with a collapsed financial system. He moved, I think, to a team that he felt was tried and true, in terms of dealing with financial crisis. That was his decision.

• Following World War II, the U.S. was the architect of the UN system, and the world financial system, and the Human Rights Declaration, and of course the United Nations is based here in New York City. But, unfortunately, especially in the last decade, the U.S. really has been turning its back on international agreements and the set of agencies and procedures that they create as a means for governing the world.

• Los bancos, debido a la mala gestión, a la enorme asunción de riesgos, se encuentran ahora en posiciones muy vulnerables. Podemos esperar que vamos a tener que hacer más para apuntalar el sistema financiero. También vamos a tener que asegurarnos de que establecemos regulaciones financieras para que no sólo esto no vuelva a suceder, sino que empiece a haber algún tipo de confianza en el funcionamiento de los mercados de crédito.
