Excerpt from Financial Times -- "For Ms Dole, who is studying at New York University’s Stern School of Business, the decision to take an MBA does not reflect a change of career.

Excerpt from Forbes -- "'I use the analogy of the atrium that Steve Jobs built at Pixar Studios,' Williams said. 'Jobs came in, scrapped the idea of designing offices in three separate buildings, said ‘we’re going to have one building,’ and put a giant atrium in the middle, because he wanted everyone and their ideas to mix. But he knew that it wasn’t enough just to have the physical space where people could mix, he had to force people to mix. So he put the mailboxes, the cafeteria, the gift shop, and the only set of bathrooms in the building down there. I think the Berkley Center plays that role. It has to be a virtual atrium of some sort. It has to be the reason and the catalyst for this mixing to happen.'"

Excerpt from The Globalist -- "As a result of all these moves (before the crisis, during the crisis and afterwards), a very high proportion of U.S. financial assets are now held by a mere handful of conglomerates.
