  Why Businesses Fail? S01E02

  What is the role of the Government in the success (or failure) of a business? Answering this question can take many avatars, and one can be bombarded with multiple perspectives and opinions. But there are two follow up questions that can help set a direction towards an insightful discussion. Those questions are:
  a. Should Governments be in the business of running a business?
  b. Does government policy influence business, or does business influence government policies?
  In this episode of Why Businesses Fail, we lean towards the first question. There was once an era when Public Sector companies in India dominated Television manufacturing. Brands like Uptron, Konark and Crown were household names in the 1980s. Within a decade, these brands virtually disappeared. What caused this implosion of the brands? Was it market transformation, changing customer preferences, or the inability of the companies to innovate and take risks, often due to regulatory shackles?
  We also look at some other industries in India such as airlines, and information technology in this episode. The latter is a classic example that not every government policy or regulation is bad. In policies such as STPI or Software Technologies Parks of India have helped the technology sector. We leave the following question UN-answered for a reason - can Governments play a role in the failure of a business?

  Decline and Fall - The End of...

  “Greer’s work is nothing short of brilliant.Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow, Post-Carbon Institute, and author, The Party’s Over and The End of Growth bracket-right.pngThings fall apart; the center cannot hold;Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.Although writing nearly a century ago, William Butler Yeats could easily be describing the United States today. The central feature of today’s geopolitical landscape is the imminent decline and fall of America’s global empire, and our response to it will determine much of our future, with implications reaching far beyond the limits of the United States’ borders.Decline and Fall: The End of Empire and the Future of Democracy in 21st Century America challenges the conventional wisdom of empire. John Michael Greer uses a wealth of historical examples combined with groundbreaking original analysis to show how, in the pursuit of political and economic power, the United States has backed itself into a corner, explores the inevitable consequences of imperial collapse, and argues that the only constructive way forward is a renewal of democratic institutions.Rather than asking whether today’s American empire should survive, Greer shifts the conversation to whether it can survive, and argues persuasively that the answer to the latter question is “no.” An invaluable contribution to the body of speculative post-industrial literature, this book is a must-read for anyone worried about the state of the Union, or who thinks that it is time to reinvent the American Dream. John Michael Greer is a scholar of ecological history, an internationally renowned Peak Oil theorist, and the author of more than thirty books including The Long Descent.

  The Fed and Lehman Brothers -...

  The bankruptcy of the investment bank Lehman Brothers was the pivotal event of the 2008 financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed. Ever since the bankruptcy, there has been heated debate about why the Federal Reserve did not rescue Lehman in the same way it rescued other financial institutions, such as Bear Stearns and AIG. The Fed's leaders from that time, especially former Chairman Ben Bernanke, have strongly asserted that they lacked the legal authority to save Lehman because it did not have adequate collateral for the loan it needed to survive. Based on a meticulous four-year study of the Lehman case, The Fed and Lehman Brothers debunks the official narrative of the crisis. It shows that in reality, the Fed could have rescued Lehman but officials chose not to because of political pressures and because they underestimated the damage that the bankruptcy would do to the economy. The compelling story of the Lehman collapse will interest anyone who cares about what caused the financial crisis, whether the leaders of the Federal Reserve have given accurate accounts of their actions, and how the Fed can prevent future financial disasters.
