                         	<description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Has the age of 2% annual growth in jobs and salary levels come to an end in the West? Will the jobs drain to the East quicken? Are policymakers leading us away from the precipice or towards it? Often contrarian, Jon Moynihan's lecture draws on his decades of experience at high levels of business and government, together with calculations and analysis never seen before, to ask: is the continued economic decline of the West inevitable? And what, if anything, can we do to stop it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;A frighteningly persuasive lecture that makes it clear that even as the world gets richer, the West may get poorer.&quot; &amp;#126; Matt Ridley, Author, 'The Rational Optimist'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Filmed in 2012, Jon Moynihan, Chairman of PA Consulting Group, speaks at the London School of Economics showing how previous speeches in 2009 at the &lt;a href=&quot;2127&quot;&gt;MIT Alumni Association &amp;#8216;View from the Top&amp;#8217; event, London&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;4736&quot;&gt;MIT Club of Germany Symposium, Frankfurt&lt;/a&gt; have correctly forecast the persistent downtown in Western economies.&lt;/p&gt;

                         	<description><![CDATA[&lt;h3&gt;About the Presentation&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are in the early stages of a very important transformation&amp;#8212;the transition to a digital money ecosystem. This transformation is likely to be among the most exciting, important, and challenging initiatives the world will undertake in the coming decades.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The transformation involves more than the transformation of money (cash, checks, credit and debit cards, etc.) from physical to digital objects that we will carry in our smart mobile devices. It encompasses the whole money ecosystem, including the global payment infrastructures, the management of personal identities and personal financial data, the global financial flows among institutions and between institutions and individuals, the government regulatory regimes, and more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This webinar will present an overview of this digital money transformation and the technical and societal forces that are driving it. We will also discuss some of the potential major consequences to business, the economy, and society in general.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For more information on this topic, please see Dr. Wladawsky-Berger's blog &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.irvingwb.com/blog/2011/12/the-emergence-of-a-digital-money-ecosystem.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;entry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;About the Speaker&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dr. Irving Wladawsky-Berger worked at IBM for 37 years, where his primary focus was on innovation and technical strategy. He then joined Citi as Strategic Advisor working on innovation and technology initiatives including the transition to mobile digital money and payments. He is Visiting Lecturer at MIT&amp;#8217;s Sloan School of Management and Engineering Systems Division, Adjunct Professor in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Group at the Imperial College Business School, and Senior Fellow at the Levin Institute of the State University of New York.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;About the Series&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The MIT System Design and Management Program Systems Thinking Webinar Series features research conducted by SDM faculty, alumni, students, and industry partners. The series is designed to disseminate information on how to employ systems thinking to address engineering, management, and socio-political components of complex challenges.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

                         	<description><![CDATA[It is among the grandest topics in scholarship: Why do some nations, such as the United States, become wealthy and powerful, while others remain stuck in poverty? And why do some of those powers, from ancient Rome to the modern Soviet Union, expand and then collapse? From Adam Smith and Max Weber to the current day, scores of writers have grappled with these questions. Some scholars, like Weber, have argued that religious or cultural differences create vastly different economic outcomes among countries. Others have asserted that a lack of natural resources or technical expertise has prevented poor countries from creating self-sustaining economic growth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Economists Daron Acemoglu of MIT and James Robinson of Harvard University have another answer: Politics makes the difference. Countries that have what they call &quot;inclusive&quot; political governments -- those extending political and property rights as broadly as possible, while enforcing laws and providing some public infrastructure -- experience the greatest growth over the long run. By contrast, Acemoglu and Robinson assert, countries with &quot;extractive&quot; political systems -- in which power is wielded by a small elite -- either fail to grow broadly or wither away after short bursts of economic expansion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read more at: &lt;a href=&quot;http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/why-nations-fail-0323.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/why-nations-fail-0323.html&lt;/a&gt;]]></description>

        Evangelos is currently deputy head of the Risk Management Division in the European Central Bank (ECB). Since January 1, 1999, the ECB has been responsible for conducting monetary policy for the Euro area--the world's largest economy after the United States. The ECB's primary objective is to maintain the euros' purchasing power and thus price stability in the Euro area. The Risk Management Division in the ECB is responsible for managing the financial risks of the full range of the ECB's market operations. These tasks include market, credit, and liquidity risk management for the asset management activities of the ECB's investment portfolios, consisting of about of EUR50 billion in foreign reserves and gold holdings and about EUR10 billion in Euro-denominated assets under active management. In addition, the Division manages the risks of the Eurosystem's credit operations, the operations providing liquidity to the banking system in the Euro area, which amounted to EUR830 billion at the end of 2008. This task includes the monitoring of the credit assessment and valuation of over EUR11 trillion of assets eligible to collateralise these operations. This presentation was given on October 10, 2009. &lt;a href=&quot;http://techtv.mit.edu/collections/mitalumniassociatio:850&quot;&gt;View the keynote speech from this event&lt;/a&gt;, which was given by Jon Moynihan SM '77.
