by Thomas F. Huertas (2010)
Crisis: Cause, Containment and Cure explains how the global financial crisis of 2007 to 2009 came about, how it is being contained and what steps should be taken to prevent such a crisis from happening againches Written by the Director of the Banking Sector at the Financial Services Authority, it gives a first-hand view of policy making combined with rigorous economic analysis presented in an easily readable style. It is analytical - not anecdotal - based on up-to-date economic theory and recent policy pronouncements, including both macroeconomic and financial sector aspects. There are numerous books on the crisis but few which have the breadth, analytical rigour and first-hand experience of policy-making offered here by Dr. Huertas. Enhanced with diagrams to illustrate key concepts, this book will be a valuable resource for banks, central banks, public policy makers, banking regulators, law firms, securities associations, finance ministries, students of banking, finance and monetary economics and indeed anyone who seeks a balanced, comprehensive, global authoritative view of the crisis.

The Global Financial Crisis is acknowledged to be the most severe economic downturn since the 1930s, and one that is unique in its underlying causes, its scope, and its wider social, political and economic implications. This volume explores some of the ethical issues that it has raised.

"From Greece scrambling to meet Eurozone austerity measures to America's sluggish job growth, there is every indication that the world has not recovered from the economic implosion of 2008. And for many of us, the details of what led to the recession -- and why it has continued -- remain murky. Economic historian Larry Allen clears up the subject in The Global Economic Crisis, offering an insightful and nonpartisan chronology of events and their consequences."--Publisher's description.

An account of the significant though gradual, uneven, disconnected, ad hoc, and pragmatic innovations in global financial governance and developmental finance induced by the global financial crisis.--
Kamal Nath
"In a short time, India has proven itself a major economic power, generating billions for its citizens and for the international community. How did India become a global market mover? And just as important, how can the Western world tap into the vast resources of commerce that India has, mine its phenomenal growth potential in a wide array of industries, and create a profitable relationship with the world's largest democracy?" "Few authors are as qualified to answer those questions as Kamal Nath. Known at home and throughout the world as the face of twenty-first century India, as well as a major architect of India's reform, Mr. Nath has spent his entire professional life within the corridors of power, helping to shape the policies that have catapulted his nation to world prominence." "In India's Century, Mr. Nath goes beyond the "flat-world" view to reveal the roots of the Indian economic miracle. With a compelling blend of economic analysis, political insight, and cultural observation, he traces his nation's emergence from colonial rule in 1947 through four decades of planned economies, the gradual liberalization of India's economy in the 1990s, and finally, the rise of the Indian global giant." "India's Century is must reading for business strategists, public policy makers, and every thoughtful reader who wishes to understand more about the world's largest, most vibrant democracy and the role it is likely to play on the global stage in the years ahead."--Jacket.
