The New Financial Order
Author: Robert J. Shiller
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400825474
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
In his best-selling Irrational Exuberance, Robert Shiller cautioned that society's obsession with the stock market was fueling the volatility that has since made a roller coaster of the financial system. Less noted was Shiller's admonition that our infatuation with the stock market distracts us from more durable economic prospects. These lie in the hidden potential of real assets, such as income from our livelihoods and homes. But these ''ordinary riches,'' so fundamental to our well-being, are increasingly exposed to the pervasive risks of a rapidly changing global economy. This compelling and important new book presents a fresh vision for hedging risk and securing our economic future. Shiller describes six fundamental ideas for using modern information technology and advanced financial theory to temper basic risks that have been ignored by risk management institutions--risks to the value of our jobs and our homes, to the vitality of our communities, and to the very stability of national economies. Informed by a comprehensive risk information database, this new financial order would include global markets for trading risks and exploiting myriad new financial opportunities, from inequality insurance to intergenerational social security. Just as developments in insuring risks to life, health, and catastrophe have given us a quality of life unimaginable a century ago, so Shiller's plan for securing crucial assets promises to substantially enrich our condition. Once again providing an enormous service, Shiller gives us a powerful means to convert our ordinary riches into a level of economic security, equity, and growth never before seen. And once again, what Robert Shiller says should be read and heeded by anyone with a stake in the economy.

World Financial Orders
Author: Paul Langley
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134521405
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
World Financial Orders challenges the predominance of neo-liberalism as a mode of knowledge about contemporary world finance, and claims that it neglects the social and political bases as well as the malign consequences of change. He looks to the field of International Political Economy (IPE) to construct an alternative mode, one that critically restores society and politics. An 'historical' approach to IPE is advanced that accounts for modern world finance since the seventeenth century as a succession of structurally distinct hierarchical social orders. This book will be of interest to those working in the field of IPE and to those scholars, researchers and students from across the social sciences who seek to challenge the common-sense, neo-liberal explanation of contemporary world finance.

Financial Inclusion, Innovation, and Investments

ISBN: 9814329932
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
This book is a state-of-the-art discussion of what has succeeded (and failed) in the design and implementation of projects and institutions to assist the poor in developing country economies. In Africa especially, far too many people are still living under conditions of extreme poverty. The goal of the book is twofold: (1) to identify and assess the key processes through which markets affect the livelihoods of the rural poor; and (2) to propose micro- and macro-level policies and innovations to address the problems of inclusion that arise. Featuring contributions from leading scholars and professionals in the field, this volume is timely to all those involved in designing innovative institutions that transfer capital and technologies to low-income countries facing the challenges of poverty alleviation and economic development.

40 Day Financial Renewal

Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512783722
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
“While our first thought was how no one we knew had enough money to lend us for a funeral, our second thought was more personal: We are just as broke as everyone else! In that moment, we realized that we did not want to spend the rest of our lives in that type of financial position. We knew we needed help, but we felt so helpless. We found ourselves doing a lot of praying and crying until Jesus answered.” (Excerpt from the book) The Hollingsheds know how it feels to desperately need money, but not be in the financial position to get it. Unfortunately, many people are experiencing financial problems. It is overwhelming, stressful, and frustrating being in debt and unable to pay bills. Financial problems are one of the main reasons for divorce, friendship demise, business failures, and suicidal thoughts. You are simply a manager of God’s resources while you are here on earth. None of the resources that you spend so much time worrying about, stressing over, and chasing will make it into eternity. In 40 Day Financial Renewal, you will gain a practical understanding of Biblical stewardship and discover Biblical truths that will change your perspective about money and how you manage your money. You will be provided with financial worksheets as resources to assist you with budgeting, calculating your net worth, and financial management. It will equip you to make informed financial decisions, plan for your financial future, and leave a legacy.
