The Great Wall of Money - - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Great Wall of Money - - Bog - Cornell University Press - Plusbog.dk

As an economic superpower, China has become an increasingly important player in the international monetary system. Its foreign exchange reserves are the largest in the world and its exchange rate policy has become a major subject of international economic diplomacy. The internationalization of the renminbi (RMB) raises critical questions in international policy circles: What kinds of power is China acquiring in international monetary relations? What are the priorities of the Chinese government? What explains its preferences? In The Great Wall of Money , a distinguished group of contributors addresses these questions from distinct perspectives, revealing the extent to which China’s choices, and global monetary affairs, will be shaped by internal political factors and affect world politics. The RMB is a likely competitor for the dollar in the next couple of decades; its emergence as an important international currency would have substantial effects on the balance of power between the United States and China. By illuminating the politics of China’s international monetary relations, this book provides a timely account of the global economy, the role of the renminbi in international relations, and the trajectory of China’s continuing ascendency in the coming decades.

Wall to Wall - Douglas Woolf - Bog - Dalkey Archive Press - Plusbog.dk

Wall to Wall - Douglas Woolf - Bog - Dalkey Archive Press - Plusbog.dk

Like so many of Woolf's odysseys into the heart of America's subcultures, ?"Wall to Wall"?traces a modern?Ulysses?in reverse: from a West Coast asylum where he works as an attendant to a Boston asylum where he visits his mother, Claude Squires views roadside America from its weak side--the tough underbelly of the Southwest, Tucson, the Rio Grande, Nogales, The Border--before thrusting himself into Okie's sacred shrine, Oklahoma City, and into the staid Eastern Corridor that ends in Boston. Claude's vehicle is a '59 Thunderhead, a "female beast," which his father, a used-car dealer in L.A., has commissioned him to deliver to Oklahoma City. And like all of Woolf's cars, the Thunderhead is a "she," a domineering companion in Claude's cross-country picaresque "flight of passage." In "Wall to Wall" Woolf's view is evocative and is very much his own. First published by Grove Press in 1962, "Wall to Wall" has been an underground classic for over thirty-five years, a comic and satiric masterpiece.

J. Collingwood Bruce's Handbook to the Roman Wall - David J. Breeze - Bog - Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne - Plusbog.dk

Hadrian''s Wall is one of the best known Roman monuments in Britain. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987. The Emperor Hadrian ordered its construction in AD 122 and for nearly three centuries it was the north-west frontier of the Roman empire. Hadrian''s Wall has been visited, written about, surveyed and excavated for over four centuries. In 1851, the great nineteenth century authority on Hadrian''s Wall, John Collingwood Bruce, published The Roman Wall , followed by an abridged edition in 1863. The Handbook to the Roman Wall has subsequently been revised on several occasions. This, the fourteenth edition, has been completely re-written by David Breeze, though acknowledging the style of earlier editions. This authoritative account will be of value to all interested in Hadrian''s Wall.

Wall Street - Charles R. Geisst - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Wall Street - Charles R. Geisst - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Wall Street is an unending source of legend-and nightmares. It is a universal symbol of both the highest aspirations of economic prosperity and the basest impulses of greed and deception. Charles R. Geisst''s Wall Street is at a chronicle of the street itself-from the days when the wall was merely a defensive barricade built by Peter Stuyvesant to the latest highs and lows. It is also an engaging economic history of the United States, a tale of profits and losses, enterprising spirits, and key figures that transformed America into the most powerful economy in the world. The book traces many themes, like the move of industry and business westward in the early 19th century, the rise of the great Robber Barons, and the growth of industry from the securities market''s innovative financing of railroads, major steel companies, and Bell''s and Edison''s technical innovations. And because "The Street" has always been a breeding ground for outlandish characters with brazen nerve, no history of the stock market would be complete without a look at the conniving of ruthless wheeler-dealers and lesser known but influential rogues.This updated edition covers the slow recovery following the lowest points of the Great Recession and the tensions of regulation. Geisst illustrates the cyclical nature of Wall Street as recent crises are strikingly reminiscent of past economic failings. As Wall Street and America have changed irrevocably after the crisis, Charles R. Geisst offers the definitive chronicle of the relationship between the two, and the challenges and successes it has fostered that have shaped our history.

Bogen om Kim Wall - Joachim Wall - Bog - Gyldendal - Plusbog.dk

Kim Walls forældre fortæller nu historien om deres datters liv, og det eftermæle de ønsker hun får. I august 2017 forsvandt den svenske journalist Kim Wall, efter en sejltur med danske Peter Madsens ubåd. I den efterfølgende måned, blev dele af den unge kvinde fundet i farvandet omkring København. Dette blev starten på en af de mest opsigtsvækkende mordsager i nyere tid. Bogen om Kim Wall er den sande fortælling om en intelligent, socialt engageret og hårdtarbejdende journalist, med livet foran sig, fortalt af dem der kendte hende bedst: hendes forældre. Ingrid og Joachim Wall fortæller i denne bog historien om deres datters nysgerrige og empatiske tilgang til verden, livet og ikke mindst hendes medmennesker. Det er desuden en bog om tiden efter, at livet blev taget fra hende. I bogen fortæller Kims forældre desuden om de første forvirrede, uvisse dage i København samt om retssagen mod Peter Madsen. Kim skulle have skrevet historierne. I stedet blev hun historien. I bogen bliver Kim husket som den engagerede og viljestærke kvinde hun var - ikke som offeret.
