BEYOND THE CRASH Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalization

If you enjoy a European sound, Gordon Brown’s retrospective on the global financial crisis of the last several years, resounding with his crisp Scots accent, may be for you. If you prefer behind-the-scenes anecdotes about real-time events in the lives of global leaders, then this also may be a title that interests you. The former prime minister of the United Kingdom reads his text at a rapid pace, barely pausing at commas or periods. His swift delivery builds suspense as he recalls his thinking on liquidity, capital, and lending practices just as the lack of discipline among the global banks began to make regular headlines.
