Wall Street Values - Michael A. Santoro - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Wall Street Values - Michael A. Santoro - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This timely book answers complex and perplexing questions raised by Wall Street''s role in the financial crisis. What are the economic and moral connections between Wall Street and the overall economy? How did we arrive at this point in history where our most powerful financial institutions thwart rather than promote free markets, prosperity and even social cohesion? Can the fractured relationship between Wall Street and Main Street be repaired? Wall Street Values chronicles the transformation of Wall Street''s business model from serving clients to proprietary trading and explains how this shift undermined the ethical foundations of the modern financial industry. Michael A. Santoro and Ronald J. Strauss argue that post-millennial Wall Street is not only ''too big to fail'' but also a threat to the economy even when it succeeds.

Sir Earle Page's British War Cabinet Diary, 1941–1942: Volume 61 - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This account of Sir Earle Page''s eight-month mission to London provides insights into Anglo-Australian, Anglo-Dominion and United States–Australian wartime relations during a crucial phase of the Second World War. It offers an understanding into the man himself: his thoughts about Australia during the war; his hopes for its future after the war; and the relations Page had with leading political figures, military officials, and policy-makers of the day. The diary revolves around interrelated themes: the battles to represent Australia in the British War Cabinet and to secure a larger share of lucrative wartime food contracts; and the future of Anglo-Australian relations in the Pacific as the United States asserted its dominance over its British ally. The ill-fated defence of Malaya/Singapore and the collapse of British prestige at the hands of the Japanese between December 1941 and May 1942 serves as a backcloth to Page''s mission and its significance.

Jewish-Christian Dialogues on Scripture in Late Antiquity - Michal Bar Asher Siegal - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Jewish-Christian Dialogues on Scripture in Late Antiquity - Michal Bar Asher Siegal - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Stories portraying heretics (''minim'') in rabbinic literature are a central site of rabbinic engagement with the ''other''. These stories typically involve a conflict over the interpretation of a biblical verse in which the rabbinic figure emerges victorious in the face of a challenge presented by the heretic. In this book, Michal Bar-Asher Siegal focuses on heretic narratives of the Babylonian Talmud that share a common literary structure, strong polemical language and the formula, ''Fool, look to the end of the verse''. She marshals previously untapped Christian materials to arrive at new interpretations of familiar texts and illuminate the complex relationship between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity. Bar-Asher Siegal argues that these Talmudic literary creations must be seen as part of a boundary-creating discourse that clearly distinguishes the rabbinic position from that of contemporaneous Christians and adds to a growing understanding of the rabbinic authors'' familiarity with Christian traditions.
