DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker. He has been reporting on economic crises since the 1980's when he was with ABC News. His film In Debt We Trust warned of the economic meltdown in 2006. He has since written three books on the subject including Plunder: Investigating Our Economic Calamity (Cosimo Books, 2008), and The Crime Of Our Time: Why Wall Street Is Not Too Big to Jail (Disinfo Books, 2011), a companion to his latest film Plunder The Crime Of Our Time.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPersistent episodes of global financial crises have placed the existing system of international monetary and financial governance under stress. The resulting economic turmoil provides a focal point for rethinking the norms and institutions of global financial architecture and the policy options of public and private authorities at national, regional and transnational levels. This volume moves beyond analysis of the causes and consequences of recent financial crises and concentrates on issues of policy. Written by distinguished scholars, it focuses on the tension between global market structures and national policy imperatives. Accessible to both specialists and general readers, the analysis is coherent across a broad range of theoretical and empirical cases. Offering a series of reasoned policy responses to financial integration and crises, the volume grapples directly with the institutional and often-neglected normative dimensions of international financial architecture. The volume thus constitutes required reading for scholars and policy-makers.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKI wonder.... What is the reason behind making some people become wildly successful in business and why others fall flat. Some people excellent while others are not?! Some people are successful while others are not?! Also, you can find one who lives their life better, makes their dreams come true, and gets their goals achieved while others are not?! .................... I admit that my recipe for economic "success" is quite different than the advice you'll get from most people. Bookstores are filled with books about making money and getting rich. But they all come with certain basic philosophical assumptions-- mainly that MORE money is always better and that the key to "success" is to be rich. Even books that I recommend, such as The 4-Hour Workweek or Your Portable Empire, have an underlying philosophy of "getting rich". All of these writers are firmly centered in mainstream capitalist thinking. .......... The definition of wealth is: 'The number of days you can survive, without physically working (or anyone else in your household working) and still maintain your standard of living.' For example: If your monthly expenses are $1000 and if you have $3000 in savings, your wealth is approximately 3 months or 90 days. Wealth is measured in time, not dollars "To become successful quickly, become an expert at solving a certain type of problem. Don't diver- sify. Become an expert at solving that one type of problem and people will come to you. Then, if you are good and trustworthy, you will reach your financial fast track more quickly." --Robert Kiyosaki "If you're remarkable, it's likely that some people won't like you. That's part of the definition of being remarkable. Nobody gets unanimous praise- ever. The best the timid can hope for is to be unno- ticed. Criticism comes to those who stand out. " 'I'm trying to lead change and induce risk-taking at my company. Got any ideas? How should I do it' I've probably heard that question a thousand times or more. For years, in response to that question, I waffled. I'd launch a little rant on leadership. Whatever. Not wrong. But not right, either. Lately, I've changed my tune. 'There is only one way, ' I boldly proclaim. 'Find Heroes. Do Demos. Tell Success Stories' To elaborate: We need heroes: Exemplars of the Exciting New Way of Doing Things. We need demos: Palpable Proof that this Exciting New Way of Doing Things is eminently do-able. We need stories: Riveting Tales that fire the imagination of the rest of our heroes-in-waiting." --..................... Now in the last chapter we talked about the demo phase. How do you get started quickly? Now, there's a great quote. I believe it's from Joe Vitale but I don't remember, honestly, who said it but the quote is this. "Money loves speed." "Money loves speed." That means that in business it's better to be fast than to be perfect. The number one problem I see with people trying to start a business is they're too slow. I have a lot of friends. I have, actually, family members also, who talk to me about starting a business and they talk and they talk and they plan and they plan and they plan. They think they need to write, you know, a 50-page business plan and they think everything needs to be perfect before they start. So, of course, usually they never start. Even if they do start, guess what? The plan doesn't work.
Why Startups Fail

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIf you want your startup to succeed, you need to understand why startups fail. “Whether you’re a first-time founder or looking to bring innovation into a corporate environment, Why Startups Fail is essential reading.”—Eric Ries, founder and CEO, LTSE, and New York Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way Why do startups fail? That question caught Harvard Business School professor Tom Eisenmann by surprise when he realized he couldn’t answer it. So he launched a multiyear research project to find out. In Why Startups Fail, Eisenmann reveals his findings: six distinct patterns that account for the vast majority of startup failures. • Bad Bedfellows. Startup success is thought to rest largely on the founder’s talents and instincts. But the wrong team, investors, or partners can sink a venture just as quickly. • False Starts. In following the oft-cited advice to “fail fast” and to “launch before you’re ready,” founders risk wasting time and capital on the wrong solutions. • False Promises. Success with early adopters can be misleading and give founders unwarranted confidence to expand. • Speed Traps. Despite the pressure to “get big fast,” hypergrowth can spell disaster for even the most promising ventures. • Help Wanted. Rapidly scaling startups need lots of capital and talent, but they can make mistakes that leave them suddenly in short supply of both. • Cascading Miracles. Silicon Valley exhorts entrepreneurs to dream big. But the bigger the vision, the more things that can go wrong. Drawing on fascinating stories of ventures that failed to fulfill their early promise—from a home-furnishings retailer to a concierge dog-walking service, from a dating app to the inventor of a sophisticated social robot, from a fashion brand to a startup deploying a vast network of charging stations for electric vehicles—Eisenmann offers frameworks for detecting when a venture is vulnerable to these patterns, along with a wealth of strategies and tactics for avoiding them. A must-read for founders at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey, Why Startups Fail is not merely a guide to preventing failure but also a roadmap charting the path to startup success.
