you have this big chaos of what we see as unified country but there's all these vulcanized states incern of what would happen if it went away. we saw what happened in the soviet union after that. people who really didn't know how to function on a daily level. >> exactly. i think the fall of the former soviet union is on the forefront of foreign ministry people. they don't want that to happen to them. they recognize all the tensions in china that's just at every seam it's bursting now. they're trying to find ways to address each of those tensions. >> there's a new poll that suggests for the first time respond dents around the world pick china as the leading economy by a margin -- they have the largest economy in the world. will they be able to do the kinds of things that the united states does? do they have the ingredients to produce the kind of companies >> sure. certainly in terms of raw human talent. they have four times as many -- many of them when they come here lead american enterprises. the systems under which those people can in universities do the world's best research, and c

we do have a vulcanized regulatory system which impedes regulation. i don't like single regulators. we do have a lot of regulators right now. market regulation and they don't always coordinate as they should. that will beat the focus of our new system, to make sure there's more consistency and information sharing. host: fort lauderdale. caller: it is great to be talking to an adult. only in american can someone like me be asking sheila bair a question. does anybody monitor the mailings of the institutional banking people, the offers they -- of both the institutional shadow and banking people, the offers they make and how they are being made? i can remember running up to the financial collapse, i was getting things in my mailbox that were insane. i was wondering how they know i did not apply to everyone of these at the same time. i would be knocked out financially. guest: that is a huge problem. part of that will be addressed by the new consumer bureau. they did have authority to write rules and they did tighten up on that but too late. ben bernanke has acknowledged that he wished th

what i mean by vulcanized internet would be are there going to be countries that would opt out of the? in which case the internet is a network of networks without bords and would create an engineering morass. at a minimum this creates chaos and confusion and economic uncertainty that always leads to increased costs which are always passed on to the consumers. that at a minimum. at a maximum, we would see a wilting of borrow for asian -- proliferation of prosperity abroad have also innovation be snuffed out in the cradle and we will never know what innovation does not come to fruition. the great thing about the internet is access to a computer and internet connection to create the next great facebook. that could come from the developing world. >> russia and china. one of the other top three four countries that want to put this under the un auspices? >> we see substantial efforts on the part of iran to do that. there are certain arab states. >> can you name the arab states? >> egypt? >> egypt has taken some positions but not complete steps in that direction. there have been efforts. >>
