Book Description
The 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.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Doctrine of Ultra Vires: Being an Investigation of the Principles Which Limit the Capacities, Powers, and Liabilities of Corporations, and More Especially of Joint Stock Companies Corporations of all kinds, and notably joint-stock companies, fill a position in modern social economy of ever increasing weight and significance. 'the tendency in the United Kingdom, and still more in the Colonies and in the United States, is to incorporate every district as the ultimate limit of local government; while the conversion, by the simple process of registration under the Com panies Act, 1862, and similar statutes, of commercial concerns of every description into corporations, is proceeding with great rapidity. Litigation is necessarily incident to change; and the tendency to litigation is not lessened in the case of intangible companies by reason of the facts that the interests concerned are serious, the funds to supply the sinews of war are large, often enormous, and the risks are shared by a large community of members, and not by one only, or a few. Probably in at least one half of the disputes which come before the Courts where the stakes are worth litigating, companies are directly parties or indirectly affected. Consequently during the period that has elapsed since the last edition of this Book numerous decisions of extreme importance on the general law relating to corporations and companies, and specially on the subject of Ultra Vires, have been delivered. It cannot, however, he said that those branches and portions of the Law are in anything like a satisfactory state which deal with the powers and capacities, the rights and liabilities, of corporations generally, and particularly of joint-stock companies and their officials, members and creditors.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Brief Inquiry Into the Origin and Nature of Corporate Privileges, and Individual Responsibilities of the Members of Trading Corporation at Common Law Jails, 8m. It is manifest that such property should not pass from parent to child; but an interest in it should pass from one to another, as they might lqe or acquire an inter rest in the particular government. The property is held as incident to government; that is, it is a means necessa ry to accomplish the ends of government. An interest in the means should be acquired or lost by acquiring or losing an interest in the ends to be accomplished. The interest in government is acquired or lost not by deed, but by being subject to its laws. Therefore, the interest in such property, which 18 the incident, or means, is hot acquired by deed, but by acquiring an interest in the government, which 18 the end. When such property was in litigation, the common law did not require each individual interested to appear under their several names, as it would be dith cult to prosecute a suit in this manner, when all the inhab itants of a country were interested. Some common name would describe the person in interest as well, or better than it could be done by endeavoring to set forth the name of each individual. In describing them by a com mon or general name, many difi'icultie would be avoided; such as misnomer, non-joinder, 8m. Nor should such property be conveyed by deeds executed and authentica ted by the signature and seal of each individual in inter est; as that would be both unnecessary and impracticable. Nor should such property be held in the several names or all the inhabitants as that would produce confusion and uncertainty. For such, and the like reasons, the common law has ever, contrary to its general rules, permitted such interests to be held, conveyed, and defended m a com mon name. When a company of persons held, conveyed, and appeared ln court, concerning a' common property, under a common name, the judges had no official means of knowing each particular individual appearing under that name, but they knew them only as a class, or com pany of persons, maintaining a common right, under a special name. Hence such classes or bodies of persons were called corporations; or, in the more exact and pre cise language of common law pleadings, corpus corpo mtum, (a body of bodies, or persons.) For the samereason any particular changes which might take place, with reference to the persons using the, special name, would not be noticed by the courts. Hence such bodies, in contemplation of law, have neither predecessors, or successors; though the particular members may have both. Upon the same principal lands held and managed in a common name, are said never to descend; though individuals may acquire an interest in such property, by becoming a member of the company having the right to use the name; which 1n legal phrase is called taking by succession.

Book Description
Synthesizes the empirical literature on organizationalstructuring to answer the question of how organizations structure themselves --how they resolve needed coordination and division of labor. Organizationalstructuring is defined as the sum total of the ways in which an organizationdivides and coordinates its labor into distinct tasks. Further analysis of theresearch literature is neededin order to builda conceptualframework that will fill in the significant gap left by not connecting adescription of structure to its context: how an organization actuallyfunctions. The results of the synthesis are five basic configurations (the SimpleStructure, the Machine Bureaucracy, the Professional Bureaucracy, theDivisionalized Form, and the Adhocracy) that serve as the fundamental elementsof structure in an organization. Five basic parts of the contemporaryorganization (the operating core, the strategic apex, the middle line, thetechnostructure, and the support staff), and five theories of how it functions(i.e., as a system characterized by formal authority, regulated flows, informalcommunication, work constellations, and ad hoc decision processes) aretheorized. Organizations function in complex and varying ways, due to differing flows -including flows of authority, work material, information, and decisionprocesses. These flows depend on the age, size, and environment of theorganization; additionally, technology plays a key role because of itsimportance in structuring the operating core. Finally, design parameters aredescribed - based on the above five basic parts and five theories - that areused as a means of coordination and division of labor in designingorganizational structures, in order to establish stable patterns of behavior.(CJC).

Book Description
In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.
