Some of the financial crises are caused by the lack of appropriate regulation, but often the regulators were ignoring the signals of imminent crises, while serving implicitly or explicitly, the financial industry.In his book, Prof. Kedar-Levy is providing a fresh look at many famous financial crises around the globe, analysing their causes and effects. The special role of regulators is highlighted, including the 'Capture Theory' in practice. This book is suitable for economist as well as for those interested in economic history, and for all those concerned with the stability of current international financial markets.'Professor Dan GalaiThe Hebrew University, Jerusalem

Описание: Argues that the root cause of the financial crisis is the ambition to handle risk as a well-defined commodity that can be traded in the market. The book provides an interpretation of the crisis going beyond simple reconstructions. Finance cannot be rescued by simply referring to ethics or limiting the remuneration of managers.

Описание: LEARN The Foundational Principles of Human Rights and Democracy to STOP Current Worldwide 'Creeping Totalitarianism' Now Threatening LASTING Democracy YOU are in the flow of living history The future of Human Rights and Democracy worldwide is being set RIGHT NOW, and YOU can help make sure they stop eroding away LEARN DEMOCRACY 101 and Join a Worldwide Movement of EDUCATED Citizens Standing Up in SOLIDARITY to Ensure Human Rights and Democracy Last Forever on Their Firm TRADITIONAL, HISTORICAL, SCIENTIFIC and LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS Millions in Western nations who still hold the traditional Western values all our Human Rights and democratic freedoms were historically and logically built on (and need to last) have been made extremely uncomfortable by massive social and legal changes to Western societies over the last decades, which are now happening with increasing frequency and with increasingly anti-democratic and "totalitarian" character (the "total-control, belief-control" character typical of oppressive totalitarian States which do not understand that Democracy is government "of the people, by the people, for the people"). This effect is worse in some places than others, but 'Creeping Totalitarianism' is a worldwide trend gradually but increasingly undermining Human Rights and Democracy from their very foundations. As the anti-traditional, anti-democratic momentum of decades increases, in more and more places and professions people (even elected representatives) are being BULLIED INTO SILENCE about their traditional (democracy-grounding) values. In one region more advanced in 'Creeping Totalitarianism' (WARNING US WHERE THE REST OF THE WEST IS HEADING), the government passed a law that will mean parents will no longer even be "free" to practice and teach traditional values AT HOME without LIVING IN FEAR about being REPORTED for TRADITIONAL childrearing in their democracy's FOUNDING VALUES which the radically anti-traditional (and 'Creeping Totalitarian') government no longer considers "in the best interests of the child" but rather as grounds to take children away from their parents ALL THIS MADNESS is based on politicians and the voters who vote for them both being too UNEDUCATED in the history and logic underlying Human Rights and Democracy itself to know how to make Democracy last, and this sound HUMAN RIGHTS EDUCATION in a "crash course" called DEMOCRACY 101 is offered as the cure. -We can no longer afford to take for granted that Democracy, religious freedom, and Human Rights will just last if we do nothing to make them last -Any democracy that wants to REMAIN a democracy must keep its politicians accountable to democratic foundations and teach these to its citizens. OUR WESTERN DEMOCRACIES HAVE UTTERLY FAILED ON BOTH COUNTS. -There is no fruit without roots; we cannot long keep the fruit of Human Rights and Democracy without deep roots in the Traditional Western Values from which they historically and logically grew in the first place -DEMOCRACY 101 is thoroughly NON-PARTISAN, and merely calls ALL political parties to get back to their democracy's ROOTS if they have strayed -DEMOCRACY 101 details historically proven STRATEGIES for getting democratic governments compromised by totalitarian thinking to get back to their foundations. -DEMOCRACY 101 demonstrates with undisputed facts and sound logic that the vast weight of the facts of history, science, and logic support Traditional Western Values as absolutely ESSENTIAL to Lasting Democracy and we only need to become EDUCATED ourselves and spread this education to others until there are enough EDUCATED voters that uneducated and illogical 'totalitarian creep' politicians will no longer get enough votes (from uneducated voters) to keep dismantling democracy in their IGNORANCE like they have been for so long. DEMOCRACY 101 gives the good politicians every reason to start being BOLD in rebuilding Democracy to LAST on its firm TRADITIONA
Описание: Focusing first on the party-centered politics of European democracies, where career ambitions are necessarily different than those in the United States, Patrik ?hberg looks closely at what motivates those aiming at the highest level of the political hierarchy, how these motivators differ between more and less equalitarian societies, and how such ambitions play out. His book, which draws upon a uniquely extensive survey conducted by the Swedish National Election Study Program, is the first thorough study of elite politicians who aspire to the top echelons of the parliamentary system. Politicians with career ambitions have a distinct idea of representation, ?hberg finds; they display a higher degree of political self-regard and are more responsive to the wishes of the party elite in developing strategies. These findings vary among European democracies, and they differ from the traits and trajectories of political ambition in the United States. By identifying the subtleties and charting the differences, ?hberg offers a valuable lesson on whether and how representative democracies are served by politicians driven by personal ambition, or by those subverting such ambitions to the needs of party or state.

Описание: There is great power in the use of words: words create most of what we consider to be real and true. Framing our words and narratives is thus a tool of power – but a power that also comes with limitations. This intriguing issue is the topic of Framing the Threat , an investigation of the relationship between language and security and of how discourse creates the scope of possibility for political action. In particular, the book scrutinizes and compares the security narratives of the former US presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. It shows how their framings of identity, i.e., of the American ‘self’ and the enemy ‘other’ facilitated a certain construction of threat that shaped the presidents’ detention and interrogation policies. By defining what was necessary in the name of national security, Bush’s narrative justified the operation of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay and rendered the mistreatment of detainees possible – a situation that would have otherwise been illegal. Bush’s framings therefore enabled legal limits to be pushed and made the violation of rules appear legitimate. Obama, in contrast, constructed a threat scenario that required an end to rule violations, and the closure of Guantanamo for security reasons. According to this narrative, a return to the rule of law was imperative if the American people were to be kept safe. However, Obama’s framing was continually challenged, and it was never able to dominate public discourse. Consequently, Framing the Threat argues Obama was unable to implement the policy changes he had announced.
