Trasun áspero proceso judicial, en 2013 se publica en Estados Unidos Memorial del engaño, la supuesta autobiografía enviada por J. Volpi a un agente neoyorquino. Con un tono que revela el cinismo propio de los "amos del universo" que lucraron sin límites durante la burbuja inmobiliaria, este libro es el recuento en primera persona de cómo una pléyade de expertos financieros, inversionistas, reguladores y políticos -y varios premios Nobel de Economía- orquestó una de las mayores catástrofes económicas de todos los tiempos.

Der Wechsel, das heute längst vergessene Zahlungsmittel, wird hier in heiterer und verständlicher Form, fast schon schwärmerisch beschrieben. Er hat leider einen wirklich schlechten Ruf, war jedoch genau genommen das schönste und komfortabelste Zahlungsmittel, das man sich nur vorstellen kann. Wenn man nur ein paar wenige Dinge beachtete, dann konnte man praktisch "Monopoly" spielen und die halbe Welt kaufen, ohne auch nur 1 Cent zu besitzen!

Is it possible that the consensus around what caused the 2008 Great Recession is almost entirely wrong? It's happened before.

A pesar de su apariencia de verdad objetiva, científica e indiscutible, la economía está plagada de falsedades. Sus medias verdades o patentes mentiras, sin embargo, no se dicen por error ni por gusto, sino para causar un determinado efecto en quien las escucha.

When Jefferson acquired the Louisiana Territory, he envisioned an "empire for liberty" populated by self-sufficient white farmers. Cleared of Native Americans and the remnants of European empires by Andrew Jackson, the Mississippi Valley was transformed instead into a booming capitalist economy commanded by wealthy planters, powered by steam engines, and dependent on the coerced labor of slaves.

La più grave crisi che abbia mai colpito il mondo occidentale è servita. Banche che falliscono, borse che crollano, risparmi che vanno in fumo. Come è stato possibile? La storia non è così complicata. Semplicemente, c'è qualcuno che ha giocato sporco, approfittando delle tante zone grigie che il sistema finanziario racchiude.

In 1966, two columnists joined Newsweek magazine. Their assignment: Debate the world of business and economics. Paul Samuelson was a towering figure in Keynesian economics.

El capital de Karl Marx (1818-1883) es una obra clave para entender el desarrollo del comunismo en el siglo XX, la naturaleza del capitalismo, y también la situación geopolítica en la que se encuentra el mundo moderno.

This American medical ecological and economic history, a saga of Man, Money, and Medicine or “textbook” of sorts, blossomed primarily for the benefit of Dr. DiLibero's many dear students. He has taught and lectured on the subject of migratory medical ecolo-nomics for many years, and has too often found himself digressing “off on a tangent”, describing particularly interesting moments of historical trivia that have influenced his life.

In this book, I want to give a synopsis of my personal experience during the Great Recession in the United States from 2008 to 2011. This time was extremely hard financially for millions of Americans and I was part of that wave of people that lost their jobs during this time.

Der Wirecard-Skandal ist einmalig in der deutschen Wirtschaftsgeschichte - ein einziger großer Fake. Wie konnte es zu diesem filmreifen Bankrott eines Dax-Konzerns kommen? Wer sind die Köpfe hinter dem Betrug? Wer muss dafür büßen? Und warum ist das weltumspannende kriminelle Netzwerk erst nach so langer Zeit aufgeflogen? Die Journalisten Bettina Weiguny und Georg Meck - beide federführend an der UFA-Verfilmung des Wirecard-Skandals beteiligt - entwerfen das Psychogramm eines Jahrhundertskandals.
