The Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist and best-selling author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree gives a bold, timely, and surprising picture of the state of globalization in the twenty-first century. In this brilliant #1 bestseller, "the most important columnist in America today" (Walter Russell Mead, The New York Times) demystifies the brave new world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before their eyes. With his inimitable ability to translate complex foreign policy and economic issues, Thomas L. Friedman explains how the flattening of the world happened at the dawn of the twenty-first what it means to countries, companies, communities, and and how governments and societies can, and must, adapt. The World Is Flat is the timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and discontents, powerfully illuminated by one of our most respected journalists.
《资产证券化与结构化金融：金融的极限》是我目前见过的、少有的结合资本市场与商业银行业务的著作。看完《资产证券化与结构化金融：金融的极限》之后，我发现作者确实对商业银行业务有过扎实的学习与研究。当然，由于作者没有真正从事过商业银行业务，隔行如隔山，对商业银行的一些观点难免有些偏差。然而，资本市场的投资银行人员如此费心研究商业银行业务，确实让我产生了思考。这或许正是中国金融业混业经营趋势的外在体现。商业银行的从业人员也需要认真研究资本市场的业务了。
