NPOV lacking in 2nd paragraph of Introduction

"While serving as chairman of the CFTC, Gensler led the transformation of the $400 trillion over-the-counter derivatives, or swaps, market, while reorganizing the 700-person agency to be a more effective market watchdog. Gensler led the effort to pass and implement comprehensive oversight of the swaps market, which was at the center of the 2008 financial crisis."

Unsourced, the emphasized sounds copied straight from a commission brochure. As a day trader, I can say with some conviction that there are varying opinions in the financial world on his effectiveness. Sorry I don't have time to research, but as a member of the Association of Deletionist Wikipedians, I do what I can... ô¿ô 01:13, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish

Why isn't there mention of his Jewish heritage?

If you can find a source that mention his heritage, feel free to appropriately add it to the article. P. D. Cook ^{Talk to me!} 22:01, 24 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Family section

IMO, it reads like an obituary. The age of his daughters is going to change, so why even include their ages? Also does he have a twin brother or are two of his brothers twins? I can't tell from the sentence structure.

Family

Gensler has a sister Barbra (Gensler) Skarzynski, brothers Kenny Gensler and David Gensler and twin brother Robert Gensler

who runs an actively managed fund for T. Rowe Price. Gensler has three daughters, Anna 21, Lee 20, and Isabel 14, and :currently lives in Baltimore, MD. His wife, Francesca Danieli, died of breast cancer in June, 2006.

Fair criticism of Gensler's work

" Gensler served in the United States Department of the Treasury as Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions from 1997 to 1999" and contributed to outcomes that spread harm far and wide.

There's only a perfunctory mention of a destructive act of deregulation: Commodity Futures Modernization Act. The passage reads like something out of the late 90s when Rubin, Summers and Gensler were celebrated as heros in the press because "this would make people rich." Today we realize (or should be informed of) degenerative opportunists, including Gensler who fullfilled corporate demands with no insight into the damage these created.

Here's Bill Black (criminologist):

"Gensler was another Rubinite from Goldman Sachs who, under Bill Clinton, helped destroy Brooksley Born’s effort to protect the nation from the financial derivatives that blew up AIG and much of the financial world through passage of the infamous Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000." ^[1]

Not done Gensler served in the United States Department of the Treasury as Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions from 1997 to 1999 and contributed to outcomes that spread harm far and wide is not going to make it into this article, if that's what your goal is. Please read WP:NPOV to understand why. KidAd • SPEAK 03:29, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
