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: Conventional wisdom holds that Washington is broken because outside special interests bribe politicians. The reverse is true: politicians have developed a new set of brass-knuckle legislative tactics designed to extort wealthy industries and donors into forking over big donations -- cash that lawmakers often funnel into the pockets of their friends and family. Until now, Washington's extortion scheme has gone unreported. Yet thanks to an extraordinary effort by Peter Schweizer and the investigative staff of the Government Accountability Institute, we now know the racketeering methods and the players who profit from them. Exhaustively researched and compellingly told, "Extortion" names names as it pulls back the curtain to reveal the shocking new racket ruling Washington.

This innovative book investigates the process through which ethnic minorities penetrate into higher echelons of political power: specifically, how they succeed in getting elected to the U.S. Congress. Analysts today see ethnic politicians largely in relation to their collectivities, but by actually studying what ethnic minority politicians do and the issues they have faced, Jim nez's book offers an original perspective of analysis.
Jim nez utilizes a ground-breaking comparative dataset of elected members of Congress organized upon the basis of national origin, the first available. Using the cases of Mexican-Americans and Italian-Americans, Jimenez analyzes and compares the different ways that these ethnic politicians have been elected to the national legislature from the beginning of the 20th century until the present. Her study examines Italian and Mexican-American politicians' actions and interactions with local political parties, identifies various layers of political power that have influenced their successes and failures, and uncovers the strategies that they have used. Jimenez argues that the politically active segment of an ethnic group matters in the process of political incorporation of a group. She also asserts that regular access of ethnic groups into upper levels of political office and the full acceptance of new ethnic players only occurs as a consequence of an institutional change.
Jim nez's pioneering documentation and analysis of the strategies of ethnic minority politicians and the ways that political institutions have influenced these politicians is significant to scholars of political incorporation, race and ethnicity, and congressional elections. Her book demonstrates the need to reconsider several standard ideas of how minority representation occurs and deepens our understanding of the role that political institutions play in that process.

Автор: Buckby Jack Название: Monster of Their Own Making: How the Far Left, the Media, and Politicians Are Creating Far-Right Extremists ISBN: 1642934240 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781642934243 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 24830.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Recounting his experiences amongst far-right terrorists and extremists, Jack Buckby shows how conservatives and liberals are both wrong about the far right. As a teenager in a working-class English town, Jack Buckby found himself at the center of the biggest nationalist movement in modern British history. Looking for a political group that championed working people concerned about mass immigration, he stumbled into a world of anti-Semitism, racist paranoia, and extreme-right violence and terrorism. Through those experiences, Jack explains how both the left and the right fundamentally misunderstand what it means to be "far right" and why young men are becoming radicalized across the Western world. Through a three-pronged attack carried out by the media, negligent politicians, and far-left ideologues, the white working class is being backed into a corner and forced to either be quiet, or get radical.

Описание: Grab your hat and fasten your safety belt. You are about to embark on a ride which will take you on a whirlwind tour through the bizarre back streets of American politics. If you think politicians are just stiffs wearing suits, think again. The quotations contained in this book evidence the peculiar nature of politicians. They will surprise you, amaze you, and at times will cause you to laugh out loud. This book is jam-packed with over a thousand "unusual" political quotes. This book is not a traditional book of flat, static quotations listing one quote directly after another, but is truly "three-dimensional," including the quotation, a brief explanation of the context in which each quote was spoken, and a related picture to boot. So take a chance and see if you are not surprised, or amazed, or even dumbstruck by what our politicians think and say. You may never look at politicians in the same way again. The "teasers" below highlight the scope of the odd material that you will discover within this book. * Which President, after losing renomination from his own party, deadpanned: "There is nothing left to do but get drunk." * Which U.S. Representative called his redheaded colleague: "A Howdy Doody looking nimrod." * Which U.S. Senator characterized luncheons attended by U.S. Congressmen and lobbyists as including: "anything you can eat, drink, or fornicate in one afternoon." * Which political candidate after losing an election complained: "The people have spoken.

I would have sent him to the North Pole if we kept a Minister there." * Which President defended his drunk Vice President following the Vice President's "slurred" Inauguration Speech by exclaiming: "He made a slip the other day, but you need not be scared; Andy ain't a drunkard." * Which California Gubernatorial candidate said: "Unemployment insurance is a pre-paid vacation for freeloaders." * Which New York Political Boss and State Senator was enraged by a newspaper political cartoon depicting him as corrupt and told a News Reporter from that Paper: "I don't care a straw for your newspaper articles, my constituents don't know how to read, but they can't help seeing them damned pictures." * Which U.S. Representative issued the following press release: "Americans For Tax Reform are lying sacks of scum, and anyone who knowingly repeats this information is a liar." * Which Republican Governor of a Democratic state joked: "Being a conservative in Massachusetts is like being a cattle rancher at a vegetarian convention." * Which U.S. Representative called a former Presidential nominee of his own party: "A Bellowing - - Blatant - - Bellicose - - Belligerent - - Blowhard." * Which Presidential candidate observed: "War has rules -- Mud wrestling has rules -- Politics has no rules." * Which U.S. Representative never lived down the true story of shooting 14 escaped burros (small donkeys) allegedly in self-defense, claiming 20 years later: "I could find a cure for cancer and they'd remember me as the guy who shot the burros." * Which U.S. House Speaker advised his colleagues that: "A closed mouth gathers no
