    Walking the Talk: Investing in the Future of Black Banks, Entrepreneurship, and Opportunity

    Eugene Cornelius, Jr, Henry Childs II, Emanuel Friedman, Tracy Gray, Joseph Haskins, Jr., Aron Betru

    This panel examines the systemic barriers preventing Black entrepreneurs from accessing capital and reveals that closing the racial wealth gap could unlock $1.6 trillion in US economic potential. Experts advocate for a strategic shift from traditional inclusion to innovation by leveraging $9 billion in government-funded preferred stock to mobilize $90 billion in community lending and aggregating pension capital for diverse asset managers. The discussion concludes with a call to build a self-sustaining minority economy driven by global export opportunities, artificial intelligence, and direct financing models rather than reliance on historically exclusionary systems.

    Monetary Policy: What's Left in the Toolbox?

    Sebastian Mallaby, Matt Freund, Emanuel Friedman, William Lee, Seema Shah, John Taylor

    Former Fed Chair John Taylor and fellow experts John Lee, Seema Shah, and Manny Friedman convened to argue that monetary policy must revert to a rules-based framework centered on price signals rather than discretionary market manipulation. The panelists collectively warned that the current reliance on low rates and quantitative easing has failed to stimulate Main Street investment, necessitating coordinated fiscal action and warning that political interference threatens central bank independence. Looking ahead, the group identified the structural inevitability of a return to the zero lower bound and the potential for digital currencies to bypass traditional constraints, urging a shift toward systematic policy to manage future global financial risks.

    The Road Ahead in Finance: Regulation, Disruption and Human Capital

    Timothy O'Hara, Emanuel Friedman, Paul Hamill, Timothy Massad, Stephen Schwarzman, Darryl White, Tim O'Hara, Steve Schwarzman, Tim Massad, Manny Friedman

    Six to seven years post-crisis, the financial sector has achieved lower leverage and improved balance sheets at the cost of reduced liquidity, declining returns to 9%, and a shifting landscape where non-bank entities challenge incumbent dealers. Regulatory pressures and technological shifts are driving a transition toward electronic fixed-income markets and blockchain-based data integrity, while firms face intense competition for talent from Silicon Valley. Ultimately, industry success depends on balancing ethical culture with digital innovation to stabilize returns at 13–15% without stifling broader economic growth.
