Wall Street CEO Called Canadian Banks 'Unsophisticated'... Mark Carney's Response SILENCED Them

Описание: September 18th, 2008. Three days after Lehman Brothers collapsed. A Wall Street CEO stood at the World Economic Forum in Davos and called Canadian banks "unsophisticated" for avoiding the financial innovation destroying the global economy. He expected agreement. What he got was eight minutes that changed how the world defines financial sophistication. Mark Carney—Bank of Canada Governor, former Goldman Sachs executive who'd built Wall Street's "innovations" from the inside—stood at that podium and presented one devastating number: zero. Zero Canadian bank failures whilst 465 American banks collapsed. Zero bailouts whilst Wall Street required trillions in rescue funds. Zero taxpayer money whilst US citizens paid for financial "sophistication." For eight minutes, Carney systematically proved that boring banking regulations weren't unsophisticated—they were the only thing standing between stability and catastrophe. By minute five, American bankers were staring at their hands. When he finished, 2,000 financial professionals from 80 countries gave him a standing ovation.

Have you ever been called unsophisticated for avoiding risky trends? How did you respond when careful preparation was dismissed as excessive caution?

Share your thoughts in the comments: What struck you most—the zero failures statistic, Carney's calm precision, or Wall Street's silence?
