This is a vivid and personal account of 21st century banking excess. "How I Caused the Credit Crunch" traces seven years at the forefront of the credit markets - a tale from the heart of the bewildering banking maelstrom whose catastrophic collapse has plunged the world towards the worst recession since the 1930s. Tetsuya Ishikawa's story reveals how a young Oxford graduate finds himself in command of vast sums of other people's money; how a novice to the mysteries of hedge funds, subprime mortgages and CDOs can fix complex deals for billions of dollars in the exclusive bars, brothels and trading floors of London, New York, Frankfurt and Tokyo, and reap the benefits in a colossal annual bonus and an international luxury lifestyle. Ishikawa's book, which deftly explains the arcane financial instruments now grimly associated with the credit crunch, is both a powerful tale of lost innocence and an expose of the disturbing truth of the collective folly, frailty and greed at the heart of the banking crisis.
PRAISE FOR RETURN TO FIRST PRINCIPLES Second EDITION 2013 Eric Hoffer Award FINALIST for Excellence in Independent Publishing. Return to First Principles is a well researched and informational book. Connie Harris. TCM Reviews First Edition The American people are looking for answers and there are precious few forthcoming from Washington. Return to First Principles by Budd J. Hallberg is filled with answers. Colonel Ron Standerfer, United States Air Force (Ret.) First Edition THIS NEW EDITION of Return to First Principles is full of updated information. The book explains why the nations banking system continues to operate on the margin and much of corporate America is fragile. Large numbers of American families still function in chaos and whirl. The nations economy is brittle and much of the countrys government is corrupt. The text contains new information as to the cause of the September 2008 financial meltdown which resulted in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. This book defines what First Principles are, introduces a new political ism and explores a number of ways as to how the nation can repair itself-namely by Returning to First Principles.
Meeting the long-felt need for in-depth information on one of the most advanced material characterization methods, a top team of editors and authors from highly prestigious facilities and institutions covers a range of synchrotron techniques that have proven useful for materials research. Following an introduction to synchrotron radiation and its sources, the second part goes on to describe the various techniques that benefit from this especially bright light, including X-ray absorption, diffraction, scattering, imaging, and lithography. The thrid and final part provides an overview of the applications of synchrotron radiation in materials science. bridging the gap between specialists in synchrotron research and material scientists, this is a unique and indispensable resource for academic and industrial researchers alike.
Since its first experimental demonstration in 1999, Coherent X-Ray Diffractive Imaging has become one of the most promising high resolution X-Ray imaging techniques using coherent radiation produced by brilliant synchrotron storage rings. The ability to directly invert diffraction data with the help of advanced algorithms has paved the way for microscopic investigations and wave-field analyses on the spatial scale of nanometres without the need for inefficient imaging lenses. X-Ray phase contrast which is a measure of the electron density is an important contrast mode of soft biological specimens. For the case of many dominant elements of soft biological matter, the electron density can be c...
The world economy is caught in a money trap. Existing monetary arrangements meet the needs neither of the ageing societies of the West nor of younger emerging economies. This in-depth analysis explains how the world got into the grip of global finance - and how it can escape, with a growing demand for reform.
