When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management

Roger Lowenstein


When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management Roger Lowenstein Random House Trade Paperbacks. John Meriwether, a famously successful Wall Street trader, spent the 1980s as a partner at Salomon Brothers, establishing the best - and the brainiest - bond arbitrage group in the world. A mysterious and shy midwesterner, he knitted together a group of Ph.D.-certified arbitrageurs who rewarded him with filial devotion and fabulous profits. Then, in 1991, in the wake of a scandal involving one of his traders, Meriwether abruptly resigned. For two years, his fiercely loyal team - convinced that the chief had been unfairly victimized - plotted their boss's return. Then, in 1993, Meriwether made a historic offer. He gathered together his former disciples and a handful of supereconomists from academia and proposed that they become partners in a new hedge fund different from any Wall Street had ever seen. And so Long-Term Capital Management was born. In a decade that had seen the longest and most rewarding bull market in history, hedge funds were the ne plus ultra of investments:... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Random House Trade Paperbacks.

IMF - World Bank and Labor's Burdens in Africa : Ghana's Experience

Kwamina Panford


IMF - World Bank and Labor's Burdens in Africa : Ghana's Experience Kwamina Panford Globalization, the return to multi-party systems of government, and the policies advocated by the IMF and the World Bank have led to near revolutionary labor relations in Ghana and other African countries. These new social and economic forces have unleashed innovative as well as contradictory labor policies and practices that are having profound social, political, and economic consequences. The evidence presented by Panford indicates the failure of the policies of the IMF and the World Bank and calls fornew and viable policies to enhance Ghana's global competitiveness and meet genuine development needs. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Globalization, the return to multi-party systems of government, and the policies advocated by the IMF and the World Bank have led to near revolutionary labor relations in Ghana and other African countries.

The Essential Buffett: Timeless Principles for the New Economy

Robert G. Hagstrom Jr.


The Essential Buffett: Timeless Principles for the New Economy Robert G. Hagstrom Jr. Critical Praise for The Essential Buffett Critical Praise for The Essential Buffett "Far more than a first-class distillation of the investment wisdom of Warren Buffett, The Essential Buffett is an education. By placing Buffett?s approach into a broader context, Robert Hagstrom captures not just the key ideas of this century?s investing giants, from Ben Graham to Phil Fisher, but also lucidly explains the theoretical foundation of their insights, including probability theory and psychology. This is not simply an investing book; it is an investing library." ?CHRIS DAVIS, Portfolio Manager Davis New York Venture Fund and Selected American Shares "Robert Hagstrom has written an excellent book that sets out some of the most important concepts of investing used by many of history?s best investors, most notably Mr. Buffett. As Buffett has argued, investing is not simply buying shares of a stock; it is a process of understanding a company?s business model as well as its intrinsic......

How Economics Became a Mathematical Science (Science and Cultural Theory)

E. Roy Weintraub


How Economics Became a Mathematical Science (Science and Cultural Theory) E. Roy Weintraub In How Economics Became a Mathematical Science E. Roy Weintraub traces the history of economics through the prism of the history of mathematics in the twentieth century. As mathematics has evolved, so has the image of mathematics, explains Weintraub, such as ideas about the standards for accepting proof, the meaning of rigor, and the nature of the mathematical enterprise itself. He also shows how economics itself has been shaped by economists' changing images of mathematics. Whereas others have viewed economics as autonomous, Weintraub presents a different picture, one in which changes in mathematics?both within the body of knowledge that constitutes mathematics and in how it is thought of as a discipline and as a type of knowledge?have been intertwined with the evolution of economic thought. Weintraub begins his account with Cambridge University, the intellectual birthplace of modern economics, and examines specifically Alfred Marshall and the Mathematical Tripos... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин In How Economics Became a Mathematical Science E.
