And yet despite its stunning size today, 50 years ago the interest rate derivative complex did not exist at all. Today Jack interviews Dr. Richard Sandor, chairman and CEO of the American Financial Exchange (AFX), who is known as the “father of financial futures” because he created the world's first interest rate and bond futures in the 1970s. Sandor explains how the relentless inflation of the 1970s caused wild swings in interest rates that jeopardized financial stability, and how the financial futures he created helped tame (or at the very least, transfer) these risks. Sandor argues that the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) to which many interest rate futures (often called “eurodollar futures”) are still pegged has been “discredited” by the schemes of banks to manipulate it (see link below on LIBOR scandal). Sandor shares his vision for the forthcoming LIBOR replacement in June 2023, and tells Jack about his company's benchmark, AMERIBOR. -- Article on LIBOR scandal: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/libor-scandal.asp More info on Dr. Richard Sandor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_L._Sandor Follow Dr. Richard Sandor on Twitter: https://twitter.com/drrichardsandor Follow Jack Farley on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackFarley96 Follow Blockworks on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Blockworks_ __ Get top market insights and the latest in crypto news.

Must-listen episode for all farmers! Dr. Richard Sandor joins Joe to discuss a variety of topics.
Because the energy industry is widely diverse and constantly changing, energy companies and their partners often have difficulty keeping up with the changes. Lynda Clemmons, Vice President of Sustainable Solutions at NRG Energy, joins us for this episode to speak on how best to navigate these fast transitions within the industry. As the leader of the Sales, Sustainability, and Project Management teams, she manages three jobs ranging from Fortune 500 customer interface to actual steel-in-the-ground implementation. She is working to create a cleaner energy future through technology, renewables, and efficiency, both within the organization and with clients. She has been at NRG since 2012. Lynda's career journey has been characterized by a series of challenging opportunities, giving her a wealth of knowledge and experience to share on the topic of rapid change within the energy industry. Lynda started her career as an analyst in an investment bank. She then spent eight years at Enron where she started the weather derivatives business as well as the SO2 and NOx emissions trading desk. In 2000, Lynda co-founded and was COO of XL Weather and Energy (a division of XL Capital Ltd), a trading and insurance company based in Connecticut. She also co-founded and was the former President of the Weather Risk Management Association. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... Lynda's many career roles and experiences. [2:04] The ways Lynda has seen companies face challenges and transitions. [16:20] Role models who have inspired Lynda over the years. [23:20] Hot energy topics of 2021. [29:37] Concept of electrification and what it can do in our personal lives. [32:11] What the industry will look like in the next 3-5 years. [36:15] Her advice on people just getting started in the industry. [40:32] Corporate behaviors toward rapid changes Lynda said she has noticed many similarities in the way companies behave when tackling challenges and transitions. One of the biggest similarities is the way they work to overcome the initial inertia of seeing things in an old way — how the companies adjust their business model and workforces to manage the changes. She said this process of refinement is continuous and is seen in every generation. The biggest change or difference now is that the rapidity with which people are adjusting to change seems to be increasing — not just the amount of change, but the rate of change. She has noticed how quickly people are willing to change their mindset about technology and be able to adapt. That personalization and that rate of change is one of the things that has been a big difference. Electrification and Evolve Houston Lynda believes one of the hot topics of 2021 and a central theme for the industry will be electrification. She said the push for electrification is happening for many reasons and that climate change, health, and economics are becoming intertwined. The opportunities are blatantly obvious in how the energy transition is happening, as well as the availability for the clean energy transition to reach down to the individual and continue the momentum. It is providing the ability for the individual to be their own electricity producer instead of just a consumer. The City of Houston — where NRG Energy has its headquarters — has long called itself “the energy capital of the world” but it has always been primarily in the area of fossil fuels. Now, the city has not only put out a Climate Action Plan but is committed to becoming carbon neutral. The city's leadership is also looking at fleet electrification with a public/private partnership called Evolve Houston. Evolve Houston's stated goal is that 30% of new cars being sold by 2030 will be electric vehicles. In just the last twelve to fifteen months the initiative has planned for a total of forty new electric cars coming out in the next two years. The structure that Evolve Houston has adopted would be a good model for other cities to emulate. Looking toward the future Lynda predicts an integration of the environment, finance, and energy over the next three to five years. Richard Sandor — one of Lynda's mentors — was the first to vocalize this concept of aligning the incentives that allow competitive markets to work. That is where the market is heading and certainly what companies like NRG are fighting for. As the industry continues to give individuals opportunities to participate in the marketplace, personalization will become a natural outcome. Americans just expect the light to come on when they flip the switch. They don't think about all that has gone into powering that light. Now with personal solar, personal batteries, and the ability to participate in community programs, people will have a much better idea of how their consumption is impacting their overall environment and what it means for them from a financial perspective. Individuals will better understand how they can contribute to their overall environment and what that means to them, both environmentally and economically. The alignment that comes with such personalization is going to become something that becomes very natural for us.

"Simon's book is a lucid survey of the phenomenon..." - Foreign Affairs"Lone Wolf Terrorism is a wake-up call to those who view terrorism solely as a threat that comes from large groups acting through well-organized networks. This mistaken view often leads to the conclusion that fighting terrorism is like waging a war with large military units. Instead it is often more akin to a police action fighting the mafia or looking to catch an individual criminal. Understanding the threat from lone wolf terrorists greatly improves our ability to combat the threat that confronts us."- David L. Boren, former US senator, longest serving chairman of the US Senate Intelligence Committee, and current president of the University of Oklahoma"Relying on a selective, but broad, gathering of case studies, Simon presents a lively and well-paced overview of a subject that is attracting increasing attention."- John Mueller, PhD, Ohio State University, coauthor of Terror, Security, and Money"Jeffrey D. Simon has provided a most lucid, concise, revealing, and fascinating analysis of the lone wolf - an intermittent feature of modern terror since the 1880s. Simon, a well-known, serious, and respected scholar of terrorism, examines the various purposes lone wolves serve and the reasons they have become so difficult to deal with. In addition, he develops an interesting and useful strategy to cope with them. Everyone interested in terrorism will recognize the importance of this classic study."-David Rapoport, founder and coeditor of the Journal of Terrorism and Political Violence and author of The Four Waves of Modern Terror: An Essay in Generations"This book is a must-read for anybody who wants to understand one of the foremost threats of our time. The narrative has elements of a mystery while providing insights into the nature of terrorism and ways to combat it.

Richard Sandor wants to make it clear that "derivative" is not a dirty word. It's one motivation behind his latest book, "Good Derivatives: A Story of Financial and Environmental Innovation." It's a case that Sandor is well-equipped to make. As a young economist at the Chicago Board of Trade, he helped create interest rate futures-derivatives that revolutionized worldwide finance. Later, he pioneered the use of emissions trading to reduce acid rain and greenhouse gases, creating the Chicago Climate Exchange and affiliated exchanges in Europe and China. At this Milken Institute Forum, Sandor will discuss how financial innovation has been a force for good in the last 40 years and how its vast potential can address environmental, health and social challenges in the next 40 years. "This book represents the work of one of the world's most brilliant, inquisitive, and visionary minds," according to Clayton Yeutter, former USDA secretary and U.S. trade representative. "Richard Sandor knows this subject as an economist, a trader, an executive, an entrepreneur, but most of all, as a teacher. No one else in the world could have written this book." Sandor is chairman and CEO of Environmental Financial Products LLC, which specializes in inventing, designing, and developing new financial markets with a special emphasis on investment advisory services.
