"I think the Goldman Sachs story is a perfect example of a huge,
huge need of transparency," says Richard Attias, who is best known
as the producer of the World Economic Forum for 13 years and who
also launched the Clinton Global Initiative. "You can't just say to
people, 'Oh sorry, because of the sub-prime mortgage rate you lost
your job. ' They don't even know what the sub-prime is. This is a
big opportunity to educate and explain what did and didn't happen,"
he tells The Deal in this video interview. Attias' current project
is The New York Forum, a confab of CEOs, financial leaders and
government regulators to be held in June. Watch the video below or
