[edit] US Citizenship

• I'm sorry to say that the question of his US citizenship hasn't really been cleared. I changed my original edit after I read the report in the BBC site (which now apears in the external links), but earlier today I came upon this report, in Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which says:

"In order to take up the post, Fischer, 61, must renounce his U.S. citizenship and become a citizen of Israel. Government regulations forbid holders of high office from retaining dual citizenship."

• So, it is indeed unclear... What should we do? --Lidless Eye 23:36, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)

Very poor article. Nothing about Fischer's economic views, or indeed about the debate around his appointment as governor of the Bank of Israel (essentially a foreigner with minimal knowledge of the official language). I am not an economist and cannot do this myself. --BorisG 16:59, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Very little info

I think this article should be a stub. There is very little info on Stanley's views on economics plus his work at the IMF or any major works published. He was at the helm of the IMF during the Asian crisis and came under alot of criticism for how the IMF handled most of this economies, surely someone should expound on some of this. --Kendirangu 06:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
