Daysafter getting a $45 billion bailout from the U.S. government, Bankof America shut down a line of credit that kept Chicago’s RepublicWindows Doors factory operating.

上市公司并购是资本市场中常见的资本运作活动,而对于上市公司并购提供财务顾问业务是投资银行传统与核心的业务之一。按照中国证券监管制度的要求,上市公司并购必须由符合监管资格的的投资银行作为财务顾问进行辅导操作。在此过程中,律师、注册会计师、资产评估师等其它中介机构均要在财务顾问的领导下辅助上市公司并购业务操作,这同时也给作为保荐人的投资银行在知识面上提出了很高的要求。本书针对此类内容做出介绍。
The Great Inflation in the 1960s and 1970s, notes award-winning columnist Robert J. Samuelson, played a crucial role in transforming American politics, economy, and everyday life. The direct consequences included stagnation in living standards, a growing belief both in America and abroad that the great-power status of the United States was ending, and Ronald Reagan s election to the presidency in 1980. But that is only half the story. The end of high inflation led to two decades of almost uninterrupted economic growth, rising stock prices and ever-increasing home values. Paradoxically, this prolonged prosperity triggered the economic and financial collapse of 2008 and 2009 by making Americans from bank executives to ordinary homeowners overconfident, complacent, and careless. The Great Inflation and its Aftermath , Samuelson contends, demonstrated that we have not yet escaped the boom-and-bust cycles common in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This is a sobering tale essential for anyone wh

“Excellent. . . .

Passionate, intelligent.”–Entertainment Weekly
Galbraith's classic on the "economics of abundance" is, in thewords of the New York Times, "a compelling challenge toconventional thought." With customary clarity, eloquence, andhumor, Galbraith cuts to the heart of what economic security means(and doesn't mean) in today's world and lays bare the hazards ofindividual and societal complacence about economic inequity. While"affluent society" and "conventional wisdom" (first used in thisbook) have entered the vernacular, the message of the book has notbeen so widely embraced--reason enough to rediscover The AffluentSociety.
Old Europe’s new crisis. Europe, the charming continent of windmills and gondolas. Butlately, Europe has become the continent of endless strikes anddemonstrations, bombs on the trains and subways, radical Islamiccells in every city, and ghettos so hopeless and violent even thepolice won’t enter them. In Spain, a terrorist attack promptsinstant capitulation to the terrorists’ demands. In France, thesuburbs go up in flames every night.
