One bonus of the global recession is that it wiped a lot of incompetent hedge fund managers and energy speculators from the canyons of Wall Street. As the Gordon Gecko sycophants regroup and look for the next Big Thing, maximizing profit while minimizing risk, the landscape looks very different than it did a year ago. In such a climate, it is uranium, not oil and natural gas that would...

Really entertaining story from Reuters on the whole Garth Peterson corruption scandal. It’s an in-depth look at one man’s attempt to make as many high-level government contacts as is humanly possible in order to do as many real estate deals as possible. Gordon Gecko would be proud of this dude. In the end, Garth Peterson, a [...]

We at BCR aren't quite sure we can accept regional praise from a non-profit run by one-time Wall Street insider trader Michael Milken (purportedly the model for Gordon Gecko in Wall Street) with a completely straight face -- even if Milken's later-life cancer research philanthropic support deserves praise. Still, the probably-free-market-oriented Milken Institute just released their list...

... use other money to help good causes, not to mention that it only just about pays the bills. Hardly Gordon Gecko, I'm sure you'll agree. Third, as some readers may know, I continue to study law and I am currently writing about the war in Iraq. It's all pretty depressing stuff. So why is this article entitled Guaranteed Wealth?

As I wrote in The New York Times: In a barn-burning speech Wednesday at the Solar Power International conference in Anaheim, Calif., Robert F. Kennedy Jr., sounded a bit like a green Gordon Gecko....

... as the Depression gave way to World War II, the Cold War, and ultimately the greed of the Gordon Gecko years. But has it taken this new crash to bring America to its senses? In a special edition of Newsnight and Newsnight Review tonight live from New York, we explore the economic and cultural landscape that was created out of the Wall Street crash 80 years ago tomorrow, and ask if...

The longer I spend in Dubai the more cleansed I feel, because I am away from the snake-pit of socialist welfare-warfare rent-seeking politics that passes for life in modern Britain. I am away from 'The Tube', postal strikes, postal unions, the NHS, Gordon Gecko Brown, David Cameron, quantitative counterfeiting from the Bank of England, the BBC, the British police, environmentalist bums,...

... GPL competitor to Oracle . (Has it really been over 20 years since Michael Douglas’ star turn as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street? Apparently so.) That’s important because the enterprise-class database systems available under open source, like PostgreSQL, are only available under licenses other than the GPL. Licenses Stallman does not endorse.
