Book Description
El lobo de Caja Madrid es la historia del paso depredador de Miguel Blesa al frente de la que fuera la cuarta entidad financiera de nuestro país. La Caja de Ahorros de Madrid fue la más antigua de todas las españolas. Fundada en 1702, su finalidad inicial fue atender las necesidades de los sectores sociales más desfavorecidos, dándoles protección y apoyo financiero a través de préstamos gratuitos, garantizados con alhajas, prendas y otros bienes. Comoentidad financiera sin ánimo de lucro funcionó a la perfección hasta que en 1996, de la mano del entonces presidente del Gobierno José María Aznar y gracias al apoyo de CC.OO., llegó a su presidencia Miguel Blesa. La suya ha quedado como muestra de una de las más desastrosas gestiones de nuestro sistema bancario, puesto que nos ha costado a todos los españoles 22.424 millones de euros para evitar la quiebra de Bankia.A lo largo de estas páginas, los autores diseccionan a un personaje, Miguel Blesa, y su vida desaforada (llena de cacerías, cruceros, lujo...), sus ruinosos negocios en Miami, Iberia, Martinsa o SosCuétara, el escándalo de las preferentes, la expansión del ladrillo y, en definitiva, la ruina de Caja Madrid por los abusos y desmanes de un depredador y de su entorno político, que queda aquí al descubierto

Hope without Optimism
Author: Terry Eagleton
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813937353
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
In his latest book, Terry Eagleton, one of the most celebrated intellects of our time, considers the least regarded of the virtues. His compelling meditation on hope begins with a firm rejection of the role of optimism in life’s course. Like its close relative, pessimism, it is more a system of rationalization than a reliable lens on reality, reflecting the cast of one’s temperament in place of true discernment. Eagleton turns then to hope, probing the meaning of this familiar but elusive word: Is it an emotion? How does it differ from desire? Does it fetishize the future? Finally, Eagleton broaches a new concept of tragic hope, in which this old virtue represents a strength that remains even after devastating loss has been confronted. In a wide-ranging discussion that encompasses Shakespeare’s Lear, Kierkegaard on despair, Aquinas, Wittgenstein, St. Augustine, Kant, Walter Benjamin’s theory of history, and a long consideration of the prominent philosopher of hope, Ernst Bloch, Eagleton displays his masterful and highly creative fluency in literature, philosophy, theology, and political theory. Hope without Optimism is full of the customary wit and lucidity of this writer whose reputation rests not only on his pathbreaking ideas but on his ability to engage the reader in the urgent issues of life.

Financial and Sovereign Debt Crises
Author: Ms.Carmen Reinhart
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1475552874
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 21
Book Description
Even after one of the most severe multi-year crises on record in the advanced economies, the received wisdom in policy circles clings to the notion that high-income countries are completely different from their emerging market counterparts. The current phase of the official policy approach is predicated on the assumption that debt sustainability can be achieved through a mix of austerity, forbearance and growth. The claim is that advanced countries do not need to resort to the standard toolkit of emerging markets, including debt restructurings and conversions, higher inflation, capital controls and other forms of financial repression. As we document, this claim is at odds with the historical track record of most advanced economies, where debt restructuring or conversions, financial Repression, and a tolerance for higher inflation, or a combination of these were an integral part of the resolution of significant past debt overhangs.

Book Description
'She thought that it was precisely when things get uncomfortable or can't be shown that something interesting comes to light. That is the point of no return, the point that must be reached, the point you reach after crossing the border of what has already been said, what has already been seen. It's cold out there.'This hybrid novel--part research notes, part fictionalised diary, and part travelogue--uses the stories of polar exploration to make sense of the protagonist's own concerns as she comes of age as an artist, a daughter, and a sister to an autistic brother. Conceptual and emotionally compelling, it advances fearlessly into the frozen emotional lacunae of difficult family relationships. Deserving winner of multiple awards upon its Catalan and Spanish publication, Brother in Ice is a richly rewarding journey into the unknown.
