NYU Stern, LSE and HEC Paris Mark 10-Year Anniversary of TRIUM Global Executive MBA with Announcement to Expand Enrollment

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- “The people they’re hiring from central banks tend to have valuable understandings of monetary policies, currencies, what’s going on with regulation and have access to all sorts of important people,” said Roy Smith, a finance professor at New York University and former Goldman Sachs partner. “Goldman Sachs has taken a bashing in the crisis. It’s bound to be near the bottom or recovering now, as there’s nothing of substance to follow the charges. Governments recognize that to be the case.”

Excerpt from Financial Times - "Western think-tanks are currently awash with ideas as to how the global south should deal with mass urbanisation. Californian writer Mike Davis suggests we face the dystopia of a Planet of Slums. For Paul Romer, the solution lies in a new generation of “charter cities”, with poor countries providing the land and rich countries the urban infrastructure and rule of law."

Excerpt from TIME Magazine -- "Nobel laureate Michael Spence, author of The Next Convergence, has looked at which American companies created jobs at home from 1990 to 2008, a period of extreme globalization. The results are startling. The companies that did business in global markets, including manufacturers, banks, exporters, energy firms and financial services, contributed almost nothing to overall American job growth."
