01 / belief

Things that happened in the 2000s, like the virtual elimination of the estate tax, are a really, really bad thing, and we need to undo that. It’s one thing to say we want strong incentives for entrepreneurship, and I’m all for that because I’ve just written this book about venture capital, and I believe in disruption in the economy, and I believe in risk-taking, and I believe people should be compensated for taking those risks.

I think Bob Zoellick, when he was head of the World Bank a few years back, was a good choice because he was an American, but he was also close to China and understood China.

08 / belief

I think, if you look at what happened in the 2008 crisis, actually, hedge funds were not driving the crisis because the prime brokers who extend leverage to hedge funds learned the lessons from LTCM, and they didn’t extend loans without taking good collateral.
