Investigating Diversity in the Banking Sector in Europe: The Performance and Role of Savings Banks
"This book investigates the merits of a diverse banking system with a special focus on the performance and role of cooperative banks in seven European countries where they are prominent (Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain). The theoretical and empirical arguments that are developed in this book tend to support the view that it is economically beneficial to have stakeholder-value banks with a dual bottom-line function, such as cooperative banks. For those who accept this premise, it would suggest that policy-makers should not take or support actions that could jeopardise this valuable element of the financial system in various countries in Europe and of the emerging integrated European financial system."--Publisher description.
Einlagensicherung
Einlagensicherung im DACHL-Raum Die Finanzkrise hat zahlreiche Regulierungen nach sich gezogen, mit denen sich Banken und Aufsichtsbehörden auseinandersetzen müssen. Dazu zählt auch eine weitreichende Reform der Einlagensicherungssysteme, welche primär dem Zweck dienen, einen Teil der finanziellen Ersparnisse und Vermögensanlagen breiter Bevölkerungsschichten zu schützen. Auch wenn sich die Idee der „Einlagensicherung“ mittlerweile global durchgesetzt hat, so bestehen in den Jurisdiktionen weiterhin bedeutende strukturelle und praktische Unterschiede in der Ausgestaltung und Operationalisierung der Einlegerentschädigung.

Triumphs of Experience
At a time when many people around the world are living into their tenth decade, the longest longitudinal study of human development ever undertaken offers some welcome news for the new old age: our lives continue to evolve in our later years, and often become more fulfilling than before. Begun in 1938, the Grant Study of Adult Development charted the physical and emotional health of over 200 men, starting with their undergraduate days. The now-classic Adaptation to Life reported on the men’s lives up to age 55 and helped us understand adult maturation. Now George Vaillant follows the men into their nineties, documenting for the first time what it is like to flourish far beyond conventional...
Valiant Gentlemen
In prose that is darkly humorous and alive with detail, Valiant Gentlemen reimagines the lives and intimate friendships of humanitarian and Irish patriot Roger Casement; his closest friend, Herbert Ward; and Ward's extraordinary wife, the Argentinian-American heiress Sarita Sanford. Valiant Gentlemen takes the reader on an intimate journey, from Ward and Casement's misadventurous youth in the Congo - where, among other things, they bore witness to an Irish whiskey heir's taste for cannibalism - to Ward's marriage to Sarita and their flourishing family life in France, to Casement's covert homosexuality and enduring nomadic lifestyle floating between his work across the African continent and involvement in Irish politics. When World War I breaks out, Casement and Ward's longstanding political differences finally come to a head and when Ward and his teenage sons leave to fight on the frontlines for England, Casement begins to work alongside the Germans to help free Ireland from British rule. What results is tragic and riveting, as both men are forced to confront notions of love and betrayal in the face of the vastly different tracks their lives have taken.
