Greenspan's Fraud: How Two Decades of His Policies Have Undermined the Global Economy
Ravi Batra Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1403968594 Release Date: 2005-04-14 |
Book Description
An explosive critique of Alan Greenspan's economic policies by New York Times bestselling author Ravi Batra F or two decades Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has held reign over economic policy, outlasting three presidents. His long tenure has had a profound effect on global economics and on individuals. In this hard-hitting expos, international bestselling author Ravi Batra takes sharp aim at Greenspan's policies since he came into power. Greenomics, Batra argues, has extracted trillions of dollars from the American middle class and sharply benefited the rich, while protecting big business. Batra argues that Greenomics has also been responsible for periods of irrational exuberance, and exposes the wild inconsistencies in his social security recommendations. Greenspan's Fraudexplores Greenspan's influences and motivations and the discrepancies between his words and actions, while revealing how his policies have national and global impact.Customer Reviews:

Tug of War: Today's Global Currency Crisis
Paul Erdman Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0312158998 |
Book Description
In recent years, the value of the U.S. dollar has fluctuated wildly. Japanese investors have lost billions in U.S. markets, causing an almost unprecedented run on the dollar. The leaders of the world currency markets were forced to band together to push up the value of the U.S. dollar. Tug of War: Why You Should Care About the Global Currency Crisis is the riveting story of this flow of money around the globe and what it means for us today.In 1991, the Mexican government tied the value of the peso to the dollar. As the peso slid and almost vanished, the fortunes of the dollar waned. Investors around the world, especially the Japanese, lost confidence in the dollar, creating a soaring yen and dragging down the value of the dollar even more. Subsequent events in the world currency markets pulled the dollar in even more directions: rogue traders lost billions on bad deals; the European Union began determining the value of its own currency; Japanese banks admitted enormous, previously concealed, losses. The tug of war continued. Paul Erdman, as well-known for his ability to predict financial markets as for his ability to write a suspenseful story, clearly explains the tangled basis and continuing strength of the currency crisis, gives his predictions about the future, and offers advice to market masters on the direction they should pursue. Significantly updated for this paperback edition, Tug of War, as compelling as any novel, is certain to be one of the most important financial books of this or any other year. Readers will not want to be left out when Erdman predicts the winner in this economic battle.

ASIN: 0521774403 |

This book argues that increasing engagement between international institutions and sectors of civil society is producing a new form of global governance. The authors investigate 'complex multilateralism' by studying the relationship between three multilateral economic institutions (the IMF, World Bank, and World Trade Organization), and three global social movements (environmental, labour, and women's movements). They provide a rich comparative analysis of the institutional response to social movement pressure, tracing institutional change, policy modification and social movement tactics as they struggle to influence the rules and practices governing trade, finance and development regimes. The contest to shape global governance is increasingly being conducted upon a number of levels and amongst a diverse set of actors. Analysing a unique breadth of institutions and movements, this book charts an important part of that contest.

Good overall book on money markets.......2003-10-22
Stigum (or Success) versus Choudhry.......2003-10-19
It hardly seems sporting to denigrate the excellent work of Ms. Stigum when she is no longer able to set the record straight. Her classic work on the U.S. markets that allows one to deduce the dynamics - and equips one to solve the mathematics - of the global money markets deserves high honors.
The unsportsmanlike behavior doesn't end there, since it seems that books with titles that compete with Mr. Choudrhy's upcoming releases have multiple one-star reviews from obvious pseudonyms and free internet accounts. The books that get the most attention from this stalker are the most commercially successful in the competing areas. Perhaps it is a fan gone mad, or perhaps there is a more obvious explanation.
I would have given this book three stars, but I deducted for bad sportsmanship.
