Premiers éléments de réforme de la finance US?

Paul Volcker, le seul membre de l'équipe économique d'Obama qui ait reçu l'imprimatur du blogo, est à l'origine de propositions qui pourraient constituer un plan de reprise en main des institutions financières US. Ca plaira sûrement à Obama mais cela plaira-t-il à ceux qui financent une bonne part de la fête donnée pour son inauguration? On verra bien. On peut déjà être satisfait que Volcker ait pris l'initiative des propositions.

NEW YORK -- A top economic adviser to the incoming Obama administration unveiled a plan today to radically rethink the global financial system, including a host of measures that would dramatically expand government control over the free market in the United States.

The plan -- which recommends limiting the size of banks, setting guidelines for executive pay and regulating hedge funds -- offers the first hint of the kind of changes to the financial system President-elect Barack Obama might push for in the coming weeks and months. Obama has pledged to present a comprehensive series of changes to prevent a repeat of the current financial crisis before world leaders gather in London for a major economic summit in April.
