After 9/11, Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, knew, if he needed any further reinforcement, that we're living in a new world--the world of a global capitalist economy that is vastly more flexible, resilient, open, self-directing, and fast-changing than it was even 20 years ago. It's a world that presents us with enormous new possibilities but also enormous new challenges. This book is Alan Greenspan's reckoning with the nature of this new world--how we got here, what we're living through, and what lies over the horizon, for good and for ill--channeled through his own experiences working in the command room of the global economy for longer and with greater effect than any other single living figure.--From publisher description.

Capitalism : the unknown ideal by Ayn Rand ( Book )
9 editions published between 1967 and 2008 in English and held by 375 libraries worldwide
The foundations of capitalism are being battered by a flood of altruism, which is the cause of the modern world's collapse. This was the view of Ayn Rand, a view so radically opposed to prevailing attitudes that it constituted a major philosophic revolution. In this series of essays, she presented her stand on the persecution of big business, the causes of war, the default of conservatism, and the evils of altruism. Here is a challenging look at modern society by a woman who was one of the most provocative intellectuals on the American scene. Ms. Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience.

Global risk management by Ulrich Cartellieri ( Book )
4 editions published in 1996 in English and held by 71 libraries worldwide
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been asked to present a private sector view on the management of global risk; which subject could more appropriately honour the memory of William Taylor? For bankers, as I shall point out, risk management is a dynamic process driven by the dynamics of the financial markets. For regulators and supervisors it is therefore a moving target. For all of us it is a matter of potentially growing concern. As much as modern risk management is becoming a major discipline in finance, it may lead us to a deceptive confidence in our ability to master the development of risk by technical means -- unless we deal, as I shall suggest, also with the underlying origins and causes of the risk pressures building in the financial industry.
