Talk:Brady Bonds

Merge with Brady Plan?
Should this be merged with Brady Plan? In one sense, they are conceptually different -- the plan and the history/context behind it vs. the actual financial instruments, but on the other hand, it might be more convenient and logical to have it all in one article.

 * I have prepared a draft merge at User:Afelton/Brady. Comments, edits welcome. Afelton 14:50, 30 September 2005 (UTC)


 * OK, I did it after some positive feedback. Continue editing and improving, please.  Afelton 14:17, 11 October 2005 (UTC)


 * If nothing else, it should be moved to Brady bonds (little 'b'). As it is, it looks like a personal name (an illigitimate son of Barry Bonds, perhaps).128.12.39.153 (talk) 07:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I hoped that you were kidding above about the confusion between an illegitimate child of Barry Bonds and the use of financial name but it appears that you were not. Unfortunately, the result of your inability to decipher a once-known reference has apparently caused a deleted article that should be recreated for Wikipedia to have any remote level of accuracy in global business history...

Brady Plan and Its Significance
The Brady Plan was the consequence of rescuing Latin America during a period that is minimally catalogued in Wikipedia that was part of a response to the larger Latin American Debt Crisis that caused the demise of Manufacturer's Hanover Bank, the takeover by Chase Manhattan Bank by Chemical Bank, takeover by Deutsche Bank of Bankers Trust and the investment by the Saudi prince, Al-Waleed bin Talal in Citibank and Citigroup as it morphed along during the modern fiscal crisis. The history behind the Brady Plan explains a substantial part of US financial history from the late 1970s until well into the 1990s. It is a shame that information was deleted, as people will be unable to understand the financial history of the post-Bretton Woods era without it. Hopefully, it was not deleted intentionally to suppress information which still seems to be a serious problem here on Wikipedia... My point, however, is that there needs to be some background about the impact of this event on the U.S. banking industry in particular (apparently the European banks were relatively untouched by it at the time) and the behavioral consequences of it and why the solution was undertaken by the Republicans at the time... Would anyone like to add some knowledge to it? Stevenmitchell (talk) 23:40, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
