Book Synopsis The Ichthyologist's Guide to the Subprime Meltdown by : Jeremy Bagott
Download or read book The Ichthyologist's Guide to the Subprime Meltdown written by Jeremy Bagott and published by Band of Investment Publishing Company. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial crisis of 2007 - 2008 was cataclysmic. Its bitter legacy will be felt for decades. The author, a former newspaper editor, walks the reader through the smoldering wreckage of a crisis that took the global financial system to the edge of the abyss. He delivers a well-crafted narrative, including two useful chronologies. The prologue and epilogue have a wry quality, despite the carnage they describe, and provide more than a few "ah-hah" moments. "The Ichthyologist's Guide to the Subprime Meltdown" is no fusty treatise. Like a modern-day Jacques Cousteau, the author, grasping to explain the collectively suicidal behavior leading up to the debacle, looks at so-called "biological markets" -- strange commodity exchanges among fish. He concludes the Subprime Meltdown was too brutal and distorted for even the take-no-prisoners exchanges from the deep.
Book Synopsis Dispatches from the Cosmic Cobra Breeding Farm by : Jeremy Bagott
Download or read book Dispatches from the Cosmic Cobra Breeding Farm written by Jeremy Bagott and published by . This book was released on 2019-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author, a cog in a profession sputtering and wheezing under decades of chaotic regulation, discovers his nemesis, the head of an obscure Beltway foundation that has managed to have its copyrighted code of conduct enshrined in federal and state law. All 50 states and many territories, even the tiny U.S. territories of Guam and the Mariana Islands, now must heed the foundation's continually changing standards and criteria. The nonprofit, known as the "Appraisal Foundation," acts as a U.S. taxpayer-subsidized standard-setting body but it holds a unique government franchise. Hoisting the ensign of waste and abuse, the author, Jeremy Bagott, delivers a clarion call. He takes the reader (and taxpayer) on a whirlwind tour of the grand salons of Europe and Asia as trustees and officers in this congressionally authorized and taxpayer-funded organization travel the world and make badinage with the likes of a former British Labour Party chancellor of the exchequer and other notables at droll receptions in places like Paris, London, Singapore and Dubai. The foundation's winter retreats in places like West Palm Beach, Scottsdale and Pasadena host top officials of the equally obscure U.S. federal agency that provides the nonprofit its public grant. The author, a former newspaper editor, interweaves skillful scene-setting and thoughtful analysis with the surprising comments of stone-honest civil servants, double-talking careerists and anonymous fixers found deep in the plumbing of state and federal government. On his journey, the author discovers a far greater potential menace: the growing and largely unexamined reliance on a practice called "incorporation by reference." Coupled with evidence of rogue regulating, abdication and routine corner-cutting in state and federal rulemaking, it is slowly creating a fourth branch of government.

Book Synopsis The Geometry of Violence by : Leonhard Praeg
Download or read book The Geometry of Violence written by Leonhard Praeg and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?[Praeg] applies the notion of ?sacrificial violence?, as developed by Girard, to the genocide in Rwanda, necklace burnings in South Africa, and the phenomenon of family murders. He shows how there is an underlying logic tying these together, while at the same time resisting a unifying (modernist) discourse which attempts to eradicate the differences. This is an extremely interesting, at times fascinating, text. It is very well written and ... [the] insights gained leave no option but to rethink the manifestation of violence fundamentally.? ? Paul Cilliers Department of Philosophy, Stellenbosch University

Book Synopsis Black Cuban, Black American by : Evelio Grillo
Download or read book Black Cuban, Black American written by Evelio Grillo and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2000-04-30 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arte Público Presss landmark series "Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage" has traditionally been devoted to long-lost and historic works by Hispanics of decades and even centuries past. The publications of Black Cuban, Black American mark the first original work by a living author to become part of this notable series. The reason for this unprecedented honor can be seen in Evilio Grillos path-breaking life. Ybor City was once a thriving factory town populated by cigar-makers, mostly emigrants from Cuba. Growing up in Ybor City (now part of Tampa) in the early twentieth century, the young Evilio experienced the complexities and sometimes the difficulties of life in a horse-and-buggy society demarcated by both racial and linguistic lines. Life was different depending on whether you were Spanish- or English-speaking, a white or black Cuban, a Cuban American or a native-born U.S. citizen, well off or poor. (Even U.S.-born blacks did not always get along with their Hispanic counterparts.) Grillo captures the joys and sorrows of this unique world that slowly faded away as he grew to adulthood and was absorbed into the African-American community during the Depression. He then tells of his eye-opening experiences as a soldier in an all-black unit serving in the China-Burma-India theatre of operations during World War II. Booklovers may have read of Ybor City in the novels of Jose Yglesias, but never before has the colorful locale been portrayed from this perspective. The book also contains a fascinating eight-page photo insert.

Book Synopsis Sustainability or Collapse? by : Robert Costanza
Download or read book Sustainability or Collapse? written by Robert Costanza and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011-01-21 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars from a range of disciplines develop an integrated human and environmental history over millennial, centennial, and decadal time scales and make projections for the future. Human history, as written traditionally, leaves out the important ecological and climate context of historical events. But the capability to integrate the history of human beings with the natural history of the Earth now exists, and we are finding that human-environmental systems are intimately linked in ways we are only beginning to appreciate. In Sustainability or Collapse?, researchers from a range of scholarly disciplines develop an integrated human and environmental history over millennial, centennial, and decadal time scales and make projections for the future. The contributors focus on the human-environment interactions that have shaped historical forces since ancient times and discuss such key methodological issues as data quality. Topics highlighted include the political ecology of the Mayans; the effect of climate on the Roman Empire; the "revolutionary weather" of El Niño from 1788 to 1795; twentieth-century social, economic, and political forces in environmental change; scenarios for the future; and the accuracy of such past forecasts as The Limits to Growth.
