Book excerpt: His reputation is legendary. His life an adventure. His pursuers merciless. Florian Homm. A 6-foot-5 colossus. A wrecking ball. An unscrupulous hedge fund manager. The ugly face of the new turbo-charged capitalism. A mover and shaker, at 26, of millions for South American governments and the fabulously wealthy. A cold-hearted mercenary, he disemboweled companies auctioning off the best pieces to the highest bidder. A man who had scores of homes, two jets and hundreds of millions of dollars, but who still didn't have one thing: enough–instead he was driven to consume beyond excess. As if in a daze, Florian Homm forged through his life with brutal efficiency. It began in Oberursel, a small town in Germany, and led him through Harvard into the heart of the financial markets. Both brilliant and charismatic, his career took off like a comet in the world's toughest business. In the course of his working life, he profited from the bankruptcy of the Vulkan shipping company in Bremen, rehabilitated the German soccer club Borussia Dortmund, and was gunned down in Venezuela. But even then, after a close shave with death, Florian Homm knew only one way forward: the race to the top. Until his recklessness caught up with him in a hard beat. It's the story of a brilliant financial juggler, a runaway, a fugitive, the notorious enfant terrible of the European financial world.

Book excerpt: For 53 years and 153 days Florian Homm was a free man. Now the FBI wants to imprison him and lock him away for nine life sentences or 225 years in prison. For decades Florian Homm, the 6.7 ft. giant was one of Europe's most prominent and aggressive raiders, short sellers, investment bankers and hedge fund managers. Hunted by Interpol and Italy's elite crime squad on the FBI's instructions, Homm is arrested in front of his family in the world famous Uffizi Art galleries in Florence, Italy. The showdown has begun. He is taken to Florence's 'Sollicciano' prison, one of the worst, most violent and most overcrowded prisons in Europe. The American Justice Department and the Swiss prosecutors are the spin doctors in this real world drama. The FBI wants to arraign and convict him for security fraud and price manipulation charges. If found guilty, he will surely die in an American maximum-security prison. Homm's reputation in business is tough. He has held stakes in night clubs, bordellos and table dancing ventures. He once worked as a prison counselor at the notorious Walpole Maximum Security prison while attending Harvard College. He barely survived an assassination attempt in Caracas, Venezuela in 2006. But is he hard enough or prepared for the abuse and torture he will face by sociopathic, sadistic guards, violent and mentally deranged felons, and corrupt prison officials? Homm finds himself in a pool of very dangerous men: extortionists, contract killers and organized crime bosses. Self-mutilation, fights, suicide attempts and drug abuse are pervasive among the prison population. Homm faces off in this battle against seemingly omnipotent oppressors and pathetic odds. No one has ever beaten extradition from Italy to the United Sates of America. Left alone by almost all of his friends and family, while suffering from progressive chronic multiple sclerosis, Homm mounts the defense of his life. He finds faith and Mary, the Mother of God, are his greatest allies against the unified forces of the CIA, FBI, Interpol and the Swiss government. Desperate to stay alive, he forms allegiances with some of the most vicious people imaginable. 225 years in Hell, the thrilling and long-awaited sequel to Homm's bestselling autobiography "Rogue Financier," has finally arrived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Surviving Financial Corruption' is a fascinating memoir about the effects of a financial conspiracy and the recovery of a self-made business man. Jerry Krudop leads us through a path of treacherous emotions of a financial catastrophe; he will provoke you to laughter, deep thoughts and even a cry over the excitement and experience of these unimaginable acts of, 'The attack of a rouge bank', resulting in his emotional and financial devastation. Let's just make it plain; corruption has no prejudices. In today's environment of corruption, the smartest, hardest working, educated, and most accomplished are falling victim to the corruption in areas we could have never imagined. Jerry shares his personal struggles of being raised in a broken family, by his single mother, rising up to the heights of financial fame, all in small town USA. He describes the criminal acts of deception and betrayal by the once trusted CEO and board of directors of a local banking institution, in which he trusted with his fortune and fame that almost cost him his life. This story is one that has been experienced by many who have struggled through the battles of financial success and have experienced the betrayal by one of those you trusted most. Join Jerry in his journey through his mental and physical recovery, accepting the truths of deception while gaining wisdom through his trials. He is faced with a dynamic struggle, whether to use the talents earned by this catastrophe for the benefit of good or be coerced into the vacuum of corruption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Financial Crisis made its first appearance in Britain towards the end of 2007 with the failure of the Northern Rock Bank. It then reached an unparalleled intensity a year later when the government was forced to intervene to prevent the collapse of Lloyds/HBOS and RBS/Natwest. Before these events the British banking system possessed a long established reputation for resilience and competence that made it one of the most admired and trusted in the world. The financial crisis of 2007/8, and the subsequent revelations about the behaviour of bankers, destroyed that reputation and drove a desire for a complete reform of the British banking system. Forgotten in this headlong rush towards radical restructuring were the reasons why the British banking system had become so admired and trusted. The aim of this book is to explain why the British banking system gained its reputation for resilience and competence, maintained it for over 100 years, and then lost it in such a rapid and spectacular fashion. To achieve that aim requires a study of the entire banking system. Banks are key components of a complex financial system continually interacting with each other, and constantly changing over time, This makes the conventional distinctions drawn between different types of banks, including those specialising in international finance, savings and loans, corporate lending, and retail deposits and borrowing, inappropriate for any long-term analysis. The distinctions between different types of banks were neither absolute nor permanent but relative and temporary. Banks were also central to both the payments system and the money market without which no modern economy could function. What this book is about is the development of the British banking system as a whole over more than three centuries. Only with such an understanding is it possible to appreciate what the British banking system achieved and then maintained from the middle of the 19th century onwards, why it was lost in such a short space of time, and what needs to be done to return it to the position it once occupied. Without such an understanding the mistakes of the recent past are destined to be repeated time and gain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talking about money in a personal way remains more of a taboo than sex or politics. This seems odd within a Christian context, since Jesus addressed topics of money, poverty, and wealth more than any other concerns. For many, money becomes an idol; we see it in our own culture as we pursue economic growth no matter the cost to the overall well-being of God’s creation. When that happens, “enough” is always more than we have right now, and scarcity becomes the lens through which we see the world. On a personal level, this book opens up issues of scarcity and abundance, idolatry and freedom; on a societal level, it invites exploration of greater equity and sustainability. On both levels, it empowers individuals and groups to apply their faith’s values in practical ways while taking pastoral and prophetic stances. The author suggests we need to experience the nurturing companionship of a wise, compassionate pastor or spiritual guide in our relationship to money, while also needing to experience the power, strength, anger, and call to repentance of an Old Testament prophet. People want to connect their values with everyday concerns, while discovering ways to make a positive difference. This book helps them do both. Includes a comprehensive study guide within the book for groups and individuals.

In a clear and careful analysis, Monks outlines a plan for reconciling the competing interests of corporations and society through thoughtful shareholder activism.

Book excerpt: This book teaches financial engineering in an innovative way: by providing tools and a point of view to quickly and easily solve real front-office problems. Projects and simulations are not just exercises in this book, but its heart and soul. You will not only learn how to do state-of-the-art simulations and build exotic derivatives valuation models, you will also learn how to quickly make reasonable inferences based on incomplete information. This book will give you the expertise to make significant progress in understanding brand new derivatives given only a preliminary term sheet, thus making you extraordinarily valuable to banks, brokerage houses, trading floors, and hedge funds.Financial Hacking is not about long, detailed mathematical proofs or brief summaries of conventional financial theories; it is about engineering specific, useable answers to imprecise but important questions. It is an essential book both for students and for practitioners of financial engineering.MBAs in finance learn case-method and standard finance mainly by talking. Mathematical finance students learn the elegance and beauty of formulas mainly by manipulating symbols. But financial engineers need to learn how to build useful tools, and the best way to do that is to actually build them in a test environment, with only hypothetical profits or losses at stake. That's what this book does. It is like a trading desk sandbox that prepares graduate students or others looking to move closer to trading operations.

Book excerpt: Money does not come from the state! Actually, no one believes that statement. But they should. That is because America, like every other country in the world, has a pure paper money system, in which new money is created out of thin air. Andreas Marquart and Philipp Bagus show you how money arises and why our current money is bad money. You will learn how important good money is for an economy and what influence bad money has on everyone in society. What role does the state, government, and politics play in redistribution in favor of the super-rich? Why is a naive faith in the state anything other than a good strategy for the future for each individual citizen? Anyone who has never really trusted politicians — even if it started out as only a gut feeling — will find confirmation in this book that this gut feeling was right all along. An easy to understand introduction to the question of why money is responsible for so many problems in our society.

Book excerpt: Through moments of social protest, policy debate, and popular mobilization, this book follows the campaign for economic democracy and the fight for full employment in the United States. Starting in the 1930s, Dennis explores its intellectual and philosophical underpinnings, the class struggle that determined the fate of legislation and the role of left-wing civil rights activists in its revival. Demonstrating how the campaign for full employment intersected with movements for women's liberation and civil rights, it explores how social groups and oppressed minorities interpreted and appropriated the promise of full employment. For many, full employment provided an indispensable path to racial and gender emancipation. In this book, Dennis uncovers the class dimensions and the resistance to full employment in the US. He demonstrates how the recurring debates over full employment consistently exposed the contradictions inherent in a capitalist society and challenged the assertion that an allegedly free enterprise system automatically generated employment for all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Money Lawyers Joseph C. Goulden vividly describes how lawyering has become a money-driven business, not just a profession. It explores the lucrative world of class-action litigation, where plaintiff lawyers - "The Class-Action Club" - garner billions of dollars in damages and fees through suits against manufacturers of items such as breast implants, asbestos, and diet pills. Also featured are the new super-lawyer David Boies of IBM/Florida vote fame; the Washington, D.C., lawyer-lobbyist Tom Boggs; and the mess divorce of securities "strike-suit law" William Lerach of San Diego and Melvyn Weiss of New York. Additionally, the dark side of "white-shoe law" is detailed in an account of how a Wall Street firm cast out partners so that survivors could make more money, and the price the firm paid for its blatant disloyalty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long considered the forgotten founding father and primarily known for the duel with Aaron Burr that ended his life, Alexander Hamilton has recently achieved a new level of fame because of the hit Broadway musical Hamilton, inspired by the New York Times best-selling biography by acclaimed historian Ron Chernow. Now the editors of TIME present this special edition that celebrates Hamilton and his many accomplishments: as one of the primary architects of the Constitution, an aide and counsel to General George Washington, and the first secretary of the Treasury, as well as his intense, long-standing rivalry with Thomas Jefferson and how it affects our government to this day. Also included in this fully illustrated edition are “Six Things You Didn’t Know About Alexander Hamilton,” an interview with Chernow, the making of the Broadway musical, why Hamilton’s days on the $10 bill are numbered, and much more. TIME brings keen insight to the improbable life of the illegitimate son of a Caribbean merchant who would go on to help shape our nation, lay the foundation for the modern economy, and become the inspiration for a musical that is inspiring Americans to interpret history in an entirely new way.
