Editorial Review Amazon.com Then along came Michael Milken and things changed again. Morris makes this chronicle entertaining and enlightening, although the reader is expected to have some previous knowledge of finance and history. He finds connections where we don't expect them--for example, linking the leverage tactics of junk-bond king Milken to early-19th-century "wildcat" bankers. He also makes it easy to understand the accordion-like expansions and contractions in the world's developing economies. Once you've read this book, you'll feel as if you've seen everything before. --Lou Schuler Customer Reviews (5)
The "greatest hits" of financial choas It is banal to observe that the future is likely to include some as-yet unforseen financial meltdown.Armegeddon-peddlers, chicken-littlers, and perpetual bears have been saying this for centuries.It it brilliance on the part of Mr. Morris to explain exactly why this is the case. Mr. Morris debunks the garden varieties of conventional wisdom, which variously held that financial crisis are "caused" by currency speculators, Michael Milken, junk bonds traders, Jews, computer trading programs, etc.Mr. Morris demonstrates that all crisis run a predictable course: economic innovation and growth, corresponding financial innovation provide capital to fuel the growth, over-shoot of valuations of the new financial mechanisms by financial markets chasing high yields, and the invevitable crash and ensuing chaos. The USA Savings and Loan debacle, Asian currency crisis, British investments in post Civil War USA railroads are all shown as variations on this theme. I did not award 5 stars because the book often delves into complex financial mechanisms which could have been explained in a more layman friendly manner.

got me out of taking Psychologoy 1101
Psychology an introduction study guide
Great Introduction
I am delighted by this book. This book is great. I was first surprised to discover there was much more to psychology than Freud, Jung and the psychoanalysis. Just look at its table of contents. 1. The Science of Psychology. Reading this book helped me understand myself and other people, and it has a lot of sources. There was not a chapter I found uninteresting. A great buy.

Editorial Review Book Description We are living in the most reckless financial environment in recent history. Arcane credit derivative bets are now well into the tens of trillions. According to Charles R. Morris, the astronomical leverage at investment banks and their hedge fund and private equity clients virtually guarantees massive disruption in global markets. The crash, when it comes, will have no firebreaks. A quarter century of free-market zealotry that extolled asset stripping, abusive lending, and hedge fund secrecy will come crashing down with it. The Trillion Dollar Meltdown explains how we got here, and what is about to happen. After the crash our priorities will be quite different. But things are likely to get worse before they better. Whether you are an active investor, a homeowner, or a contributor to your 401(k) plan, The Trillion Dollar Meltdown will be indispensable to understanding the gross excess that has put the world economy on the brink--and what the new landscape will look like. |

Editorial Review Book Description In Queering Public Address ten noted rhetoricalcritics disrupt the silence regarding nonnormative sexualities in the studyof American historical discourse and upend the heteronormativity thatgoverns much of rhetorical history. Reconfiguring Quintilian's mandate thatan orator is a good man speaking well, contributors grapple at theintersection of rhetoric, history, and sexuality as they interrogatehistorically situated discursive performances, politics, and meanings ofthe "good queer speaking well." Enacting both political and radicalvisions, these scholars articulate the promises of gay, lesbian, bisexual,and transgender public address and the critiques that work to deepen theirfulfillment. Charles E. Morris III introduces thevolume by offering a portrait of the queer historical/rhetorical critic,one vexed by disciplinary disorientation, seeking to reverse what Morristerms the "queer impoverishment" of the field of public address studies.Continuing the discourse, Dana L. Cloud, Ralph R. Smith, Russel R. Windes,Karen A. Foss, Julie Thompson, and Morris critically approach fromnonnormative perspectives various principles, objects, methods, andtheories that have explicitly or implicitly directed the practice andjudgment of rhetorical-historical analysis. In the latter part of the volume, John M.Sloop, Eric King Watts, Robert Alan Brookey, Lisbeth Lipari, and Lester C.Olson examine specific historical subjects, voices, styles, andperformances by means of various discourses that intersected in relation toideologies, issues, and events constituting queerness over time. Thecontributors consider figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Eleanor Roosevelt,Harvey Milk, Marlon Riggs, and Lorraine Hansberry and issues as diverse ascollective identity, nineteenth-century semiotics of gender and sexuality,the sexual politics of the Harlem Renaissance, psychiatric productions ofthe queer, and violence-induced traumatic styles. |
