"THE NEW YORK Stock Exchange traces its roots back more than two centuries, to the informal street trading of bonds during the American Revolutionary War.

It had, over time, formalized a charter, beaten back and merged with competitors, adapted to such life-altering innovations as the telegraph and the telephone, and kept operating through harrowing investment cycles of climb, crash, and climb again.

“Many a rapid fortune has been made in this street,” observed Charles Dickens when, in 1842, he visited, “and many a rapid ruin.”

Richard Grasso



Richard A. "Dick" Grasso (born July 26, 1946) in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York) was chairman and chief executive of the New York Stock Exchange from 1995 to 2003. He started in 1968 when he was hired by the Exchange as a floor clerk.

He later became embroiled in controversies and lawsuits about his allegedly excessive pay package and $188.5 million golden parachute.

The New York Attorney General filed a lawsuit which challenged the compensation as excessive for the NYSE, which at the time was a nonprofit.

However, on July 1, 2008, the New York State Court of Appeals dismissed all claims against Grasso because the NYSE had changed its status from a nonprofit to a for-profit organization, which meant that the Attorney General had lost standing to sue Grasso.

Gender equality 100 years after the 19th amendment - Part 2

Link: https://youtu.be/NtfS9h6_g78

On August 26, 1920, the 19th amendment was adopted to the U.S. Constitution, granting some – though not all – American women the right to vote. 100 years later, relative equality at the ballot box has not been matched by equity in business, politics, the military, family life, and even retirement.

On August 24, as part of 19A: The Brookings Gender Equality Series, Brookings hosted a webinar to examine the state of gender equality today and what needs to be done to achieve full equality for women in our society.

Tina Tchen, CEO of TIME’S UP Foundation and former executive director of the White House Council on Women and Girls offered keynote remarks, followed by a conversation with Madeleine Albright, the first woman to serve as U.S. secretary of state. Susan Ware, who serves as the honorary women’s suffrage centennial historian at the Radcliffe Institute’s Schlesinger Library at Harvard, provided a brief historical overview of the women’s suffrage movement. Then, Brookings experts Camille Busette, Elaine Kamarck, Isabel Sawhill, and Makada Henry-Nickie convened a panel discussion to examine how gender equality has evolved since the amendment’s passage and what public reforms could address gender-based inequalities that persist today.
