Merkel says fall of Wall proves 'dreams can come true'


“ … Here is another one. A change in what Human nature will allow for government. "Careful, Kryon, don't talk about politics. You'll get in trouble." I won't get in trouble. I'm going to tell you to watch for leadership that cares about you. "You mean politics is going to change?" It already has. It's beginning. Watch for it. You're going to see a total phase-out of old energy dictatorships eventually. The potential is that you're going to see that before 2013. They're going to fall over, you know, because the energy of the population will not sustain an old energy leader ..."

… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …

Will bonus caps improve banking industry?

Deutsche Welle, 3 March 2013


On Sunday (03.03.2013), the majority of Swiss voted to cap bonuses paid to bankers in a national referendum - two days after the EU chose to limit bonuses paid to bankers from 2014. But will that help?

Greedy, selfish bankers - that's the image that has been engrained in the minds of many since the beginning of the financial crisis. One of the responses from students at Harvard Business School was to create the MBA Oath, which allows students and graduates to pledge to "create value responsibly and ethically." But this is probably easier said than done.

In fact, it's not only society that a banker has to serve, said Würzburg-based economist Ekkehard Wenger. Bankers are not only focused on ensuring their livelihoods,they also have to make sure that the customer isn't cheated and that the bank makes profits, he added. The banker has to please many parties.

Bankers as allrounders

 "One banker can't change the
 system," says Lütge, a business
ethicist
So what is a "good" banker? One who is honest, adheres to the law and loyal to his business is a good banker, according to business ethicist Christoph Lütge. A "good" banker would not only work speedily on behalf of the customer, he would also keep an eye on sustainability - and he is supposed to do all of that as transparently as possible. Large bonuses are justified "if one gives the right incentives and says, 'yes, give out high bonuses, but only when you do your business sustainably,'" Lütge said.

But sustainability, in particular, was not rewarded for a long time, according to economist Wenger. "People were paid for things that briefly appeared successful but turned out to be a nonstarters in the end," he said.

Lured by the model

By the 1980s, at the latest, bankers relied more on machines, according to business historian Werner Abelshauer.

"Scientists had developed models that could supposedly eliminate risks to a large extent. It's no longer the banker who creates trust, it's the algorithm, the technology," he said, while adding that at that point certain tendencies for criminal activities entered the banking world.


Morals and money - how can they go together?

The algorithms that appeared infallible to many bankers were simply too tempting. "The system bears the risk for the human side of this business to disappear," business ethicist Lütge warns. Every human being needs a clear set of rules, otherwise he would be quickly overwhelmed, he adds. As a result, Lütge doubts the merits of Harvard Business School's ethics oath. After all, one person alone can't change the banking system.

Coming up with new rules

Abelshauser: "People didn't trust
the banker, but the algorithm."
However, many banks have come to realise that a system of short-term bonuses doesn't help during the course of the current economic crisis. So they have switched to bonuses based on medium or long-term achievements.

Putting maximum caps on bonuses, valid across the EU is yet another step. From 2014, extra payments will not be able to exceed fixed annual salaries - only in exceptional cases will it be possible to double the amount. This is intended to make banks and the whole industry less prone to risks.

The effects of the EU's restrictions on banking bonuses remain to be seen - only time will tell whether bankers will be driven more by morals than the quest for profits. As an ethicist, Lütge advises young bankers to take on a broader perspective and to possibly look into philosophy or other social sciences.

But economist Wenger is more pragmatic. "There is no point asking from a banker to be a better man than, say, politician who takes his voters for fools. After all, we don't have such high expectations from that [a politician] either," he said.
