as long as public and private investors take the same risk pari passu

Which is exactly what I propose through a "Capital Partnership"

1/ Put the assets and liabilities in custody.

2/ Share the revenues between Managers/Staff (Human Capital aka Labour) and Investors (Financial Capital) proportionally.

Share the defaults (ie losses of financial capital) proportionally aka pari passu among the investors.

Yes, but you propose to put them in custody.

Maybe you ae not aware that virtually all stocks and shares are held by nominees and custodians?

Institutions don't trade shares - they trade the beneficial interest in the shares...

Nothing new there.

I wasn't clear. I meant that I don't see any proposal in Geithner's plan to put the problematic assets in custody, as you would propose doing.
