Casting an Eye on the World’s
Financial Crisis – What’s changed ?
Who said these words and When
“I believe the banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing
armies. If the American people ever allow
private banks to control the issue of their
currency, first by inflation, then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will grow up
around the banks will deprive the people of all
property until their children wake up
homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered”

And what about these…
“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury
should be replenished, Public debt should be
reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should
be tempered and controlled, and the
assistance to foreign lands should be
curtailed, lest our Nation become bankrupt.
People must again learn to work, instead of
living on public assistance”

Marcus Cicero 55 BC
Situations are what WE make them !....
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times….
It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness..
It was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity
It was the season of Light, it was the season of
Darkness
It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair….
We had everything before us, we had nothing before us
We were all going direct to heaven, we were all going
direct to “the other place”
Charles Dickens – “A Tale of two Cities” 1859
Global Financial Crisis - How did one survive….
before affluence became commonplace?....
But - think Boom ….not Gloom….
many successful businesses started in
recessions….
“I started the Cobra Beer Company in a deep
Recession – and it proved to be the best time
for me….introducing something innovative
and exciting changed the way people thought
about Indian Food and Beer”
Lord Karan Bilimoria
Founder – Cobra Beer
Timing can be everything….
Is the time right to make the Entrepreneurial
move?....
“There is nothing more powerful than
an Idea whose time has come……”
Jules Verne
This strange looking team also started in a
recession….but got their timing right
And in 30 years, became a powerful engine
of Growth, Change and Innovation – their
ideas changed the World….
Microsoft Corporation, 1978
But the eye on the World shows lots of
changes….its not just the finances….
