Download or read book Endgame written by John Mauldin and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-08 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greece isn't the only country drowning in debt. The Debt Supercycle—when the easily managed, decades-long growth of debt results in a massive sovereign debt and credit crisis—is affecting developed countries around the world, including the United States. For these countries, there are only two options, and neither is good—restructure the debt or reduce it through austerity measures. Endgame details the Debt Supercycle and the sovereign debt crisis, and shows that, while there are no good choices, the worst choice would be to ignore the deleveraging resulting from the credit crisis. The book: Reveals why the world economy is in for an extended period of sluggish growth, high unemployment, and volatile markets punctuated by persistent recessions Reviews global markets, trends in population, government policies, and currencies Around the world, countries are faced with difficult choices. Endgame provides a framework for making those choices.
Book Synopsis The Great Super Cycle by : David Skarica
Download or read book The Great Super Cycle written by David Skarica and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-10-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has a problem – a big problem. Due to costs associated with the massive bailout of financial institutions deemed "too big to fail," on-going armed conflicts, and a move towards socialism, another even bigger bubble is about to burst – the debt bubble. The Great Super Cycle: Profit from the Coming Inflation Tidal Wave and Dollar Devaluation is an intriguing look at the relationship between Washington and Wall Street; the history of political shifts in power and how those shifts influenced the global economy; and, the ways investors can profit as economies move away from U.S. dollar and debt. The book: Discusses how a socialist America will result in the U.S. economy becoming far less competitive, while causing funds to move offshore Details how investors can profit by investing in gold, oil, and Asian markets Explains major cyclical movements from the mega cycle of world power to stock market cycles which last 10-20 years. As the United States begins to deal with its massive debt bubble, The Great Super Cycle just might prove the most powerful tool an investor has for making money in the turbulent years to come.
Book Synopsis End of the Supercycle and Growth of Commodity Producers by : Luc Eyraud
Download or read book End of the Supercycle and Growth of Commodity Producers written by Luc Eyraud and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-11-23 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper estimates the effect of copper prices on Chile’s growth at various time horizons. We find that a price decline is likely to have a durable (although not permanent) effect on GDP growth: while the impact is the strongest in the first 3 years after the shock, the transition towards the new lower steady-state GDP level generally takes 5–10 years. From a production function perspective, the GDP growth slowdown is mainly driven by lower capital accumulation.

Book Synopsis Issues in Global Business by : SAGE Publishing
Download or read book Issues in Global Business written by SAGE Publishing and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 2021-03-03 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2020, COVID-19 starkly demonstrated the global interconnectedness of business, as it disrupted supply chains and manufacturing operations, broadly shuttered retail stores, and led to restrictions on movement and travel around the world. Other events in 2019 also showcased the undeniable globalization of business, be it from the (un)expected ramifications of Brexit to the impacts of data breaches across various industries. Riots in Hong Kong over an extradition bill also sparked huge debate and controversy, and the U.S.-China trade war also caused concern. All of these events may have largely and immediately impacted one region, yet effects reverberate across larger swathes of the globe—ultimately affecting vast areas, industries, and sectors across the international landscape. Issues in Global Business explores all of these and more, across a wide range of topics, including the on-demand economy, global manufacturing, Bitcoin, data security, and many more. Coupled with a comprehensive overview of the business landscape around the world by Dr. Mamoun Benmamoun, an assistant professor at the Boeing Institute of International Business at Saint Louis University, this book provides students with the essential information they need to assess business practices through an international lens.

Book Synopsis Carbonate Reservoirs by : Clyde H. Moore
Download or read book Carbonate Reservoirs written by Clyde H. Moore and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-08-12 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phanerozoic Global tectonic cycles (rifting of supercontinents, drifting and disassembly, closure and assembly) have a major impact of the development of the carbonate system. Volcanism during rifting affects global climate, leading to icehouse and greenhouse global climate conditions which affects marine abiotic carbonate mineralogy (aragonite seas during icehouse times, calcite seas during greenhouse times). During rifting and drifting stages, well-developed shelf margins and deep oceanic basins prevail, while during the assembly stage, shallow cratonic basins are characteristic. Ice house and greenhouse conditions impact the development of carbonate shelves. During icehouse conditions, high amplitude sea-level cycles favor development of rimmed shelves, thick fourth-order cycles, and deep karsting at sequence boundaries. Greenhouse conditions favor accretionary shelves with many thin parasequences and mild exposure surfaces. Biologic evolution also has a major impact on the carbonate system. The development of framework reefs is cyclical through the Phanerozoic as reef-building organisms evolve, leading to reef-free periods. The majority of carbonate sediments owe their mineralogy to the preferred mineralogy of the biota responsible for the sediments. As these groups evolve and become extinct, the sediment mineralogy mirrors these changes. A major carbonate database developed by Exxon/Mobil (termed the CATT hypothesis) has enormous potential as a tool to assist the exploration geoscientist in developing well-constrained conceptual geologic models and the development team to develop viable analogs for their reservoirs.
Book Synopsis Perspectives on Solid State NMR in Biology by : S.R. Kiihne
Download or read book Perspectives on Solid State NMR in Biology written by S.R. Kiihne and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid state NMR is rapidly emerging as a universally applicable method for the characterization of ordered structures that cannot be studied with solution methods or diffraction techniques. This proceedings -; from a recent international workshop - captures an image of the latest developments and future directions for solid state NMR in biological research, particularly on membrane proteins. Detailed information on how hormones or drugs bind to their membrane receptor targets is needed, e.g. for rational drug design. Higher fields are bringing clear improvements, and the power of solid state NMR techniques for studying amorphous and membrane associated peptides, proteins and complexes is shown by examples of applications at ultra-high fields. Progress in protein expression, experimental design and data analysis are also presented by leaders in these research areas.
Download or read book Sputnik Diner written by Rick Maddocks and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2011-04-13 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an award-winning writer reminiscent of Richard Russo and Russell Banks: get ready for a heady and heartbreaking stay in Nanticoke, home of the Sputnik Diner. Travelling on Highway 3, along the upper lip of Lake Erie and through a moustache of tobacco fields and sky, we arrive in Nanticoke, Ontario. At the heart of the town is the Sputnik Diner, a smoky grill where the jukebox whirs out an ever-changing soundtrack. Navigating their way through the lies and sexual betrayals are Grace, waitress and self-defeating artist; Buzz, who offers the cook's eye view of the eccentric patrons and staff; and Marcel, the gruff French-Canadian owner who doles out hilarious malapropisms and his own peculiar brand of hospitality. In muscular prose, Maddocks traces the lives of flawed, gutsy, and utterly loveable characters: an immigrant family from Wales, struggling to find their place in the ragged, darkly absurd world of tobacco-belt Ontario; two young brothers who steal the family car and try to come to grips with their father's cancer out on the dinosaur mini-putt course in the pouring rain; and Grace, who seeks out her birth parents only to confront the dizzying epiphanies of that momentous discovery. There are others too, whose stalled dreams, gritty hopes and humour spark through the Sputnik Diner universe.
