Malcolm Gladwell is the master of playful yet profound insight. His ability to see underneath the surface of the seemingly mundane taps into a fundamental human impulse: curiosity. From criminology to ketchup, job interviews to dog training, Malcolm Gladwell takes everyday subjects and shows us surprising new ways of looking at them, and the world around us.Are smart people overrated? What can pit bulls teach us about crime? Why are problems like homelessness easier to solve than to manage? How do we hire when we can't tell who's right for the job? Gladwell explores the minor geniuses, the underdogs and the overlooked, and reveals how everyone and rything contains an intriguing story. What the Dog Saw is Gladwell at his very best - asking questions and seeking answers in his inimitable style.
《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。
