Dean Peter Henry dicusses the impact of the Eurozone on the global economy
April 22, 2013
Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "We live in an interconnected world and the Eurozone is the largest economic block in the world. So with a, frankly a misplaced focus on austerity, people have made the mistake of thinking that discipline means fiscal austerity. It doesn't. Discipline means doing what you need to do to advance the economy and the focus on growth, I think the renewed focus on growth and moving in that direction is welcome."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "'I always say if you want to study disruptive thinking … it's best to study the work of professional comedians,' said Luke Williams, professor of innovation at New York University's Leonard N. Stern School of Business. 'They're master disruptors. Their whole job is to determine what an audience is thinking and break those expectations. And that break in expectation is where humor comes from. As soon as you hear the punch line, it's obvious in hindsight. … But a comedian doesn't stop with one joke. They have to do them again and again. [Businesses] can't just disrupt the market once and sit back and go, "Everyone's going to use our business model for the next decade."'"

Dean Peter Henry discusses lessons from emerging markets, from his book, "Turnaround"
April 22, 2013
Excerpt from the Council on Foreign Relations -- "The reason why I called the book 'Turnaround: Third World Lessons for First World Growth' is because if we take kind of a unifying message across...the last three decades, going back to roughly the late 1970s until now, how is it that countries that were formally called third world countries...became emerging markets? And I think the central point to take away is they did that through what I would call discipline."
-
Excerpt from Bloomberg TV -- "I'm quite concerned about the US economy. Certainly, people underestimated how much the increase in taxes, payroll and income and now the sequester would affect the economy. My view was the debt would imply a fiscal drag of at least 1.6-1.7% this year and therefore the economy this year is not going to grow much more than 1.6% given the significant fiscal drag."

Excerpt from MarketWatch -- “'It doesn’t hurt for men to see ads with David Beckham, Mario Lopez and Tim Tebow,' Morwtiz says."

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "'I'm not convinced there's a big problem because these REITs are holding relatively liquid securities and represent a modest part of the mortgage market,' said Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, director of New York University's Stern Center for real estate finance research."
