“I could never figure out or probably did not take the trouble to figure out what the great philosophical problems are about. The momentous statements I come across are at best a storm in a teacup.

“The trouble is that privacy is at once essential to, and in tension with, both freedom and security. A cabinet minister who keeps his mistress in satin sheets at the French taxpayer's expense cannot justly object when the press exposes his misuse of public funds. Our freedom to scrutinise the conduct of public figures trumps that minister's claim to privacy. The question is: where and how do we draw the line between a genuine public interest and that which is merely what interests the public?” InterestLinesTroubleSecurityFiguresObjectsTrumpEssentialsDrawsClaimsPressesGenuineMinistersTensionPrivacyFundExpensesSheetsMistressTaxpayersCabinetsMisusePublic InterestPublic FiguresSatin Author:Timothy Garton Ash

“The collateralized debt obligation, the CDO, is a structure which allows you to more or less continuously choose how much risk you want to take in a whole batch of securities.
