Alan S. Blinder, former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, held off, taking the time to understand the crisis and create a truly comprehensive and coherent narrative of how the worst economic crisis in postwar American history happened, what the government did to fight it, and what we must do from here--mired as we still are in its wreckage. Blinder shows how the U.S. financial system, grown far too complex for its own good--and too unregulated for the public good--experienced a perfect storm beginning in 2007. When Americas financial structure crumbled, the damage proved to be not only deep, but wide. It took the crisis for the world to discover, to its horror, just how truly interconnected--and fragile--the global financial system is. Blinder offers clear-eyed answers to the questions still before us, even if some of the choices ahead are as divisive as they are unavoidable.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738901 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1744255 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1715382 The authors introduce a four-step process designed to counteract the biases that inevitably creep into the decision-making process. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1662045 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687287 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1674380 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1744263 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687112 The leader of the Consumer Electronics Association draws on his decades of experience working with the worlds most innovative companies to reveal why success depends on following the ninja credo: creating a killer strategy with defined goals, flexibility, and a focus on innovative thinking. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1742019 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1744968 Over the last 100 years, the road to success for most everyone has been divided into five predictable stages: Learning, Editing, Mastering, Harvesting, and Guiding. While none of the stages can be skipped, they can be shortened and accelerated. There are only two paths in life: average and awesome. The average path is easy because all you have to do is nothing. The awesome path is more challenging, because things like fear only bother you when you do work that matters. Start gives readers practical, actionable insights to be more awesome, more often. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1741994 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1693641 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1648793 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1744260 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1735879 Want to make sense of accounting basics?
