Review Mastering Finance-Linked Swaps: A Definitive Guide to Principles, Practice & Precedents (Market Editions) (Market Editions) (Market Editions) (Market Editions) (Market Editions) (Market Editions) / Financal Times Management:It is rare today that a project lender, property development financier, PFI banker, MBO debt provider or securitisation investor does not insist on its borrower taking out some form of interest rate and/or cross-currency hedging. By and large, however, the implications of integrating a swap into a structured financing are little understood and often ignored. At best, current practice is often misrepresentative and lax. "Mastering Finance-linked Swaps" is the first book to offer clear, detailed, practical guidance on the key commercial, operational, legal and documentation issues that arise. It will provide lenders, swap providers, borrowers, finance consultants and lawyers with the confidence and technical ability to ask the right questions at the right time, and to ensure that, whatever the nature of the financing, the swap is correctly integrated into the structure.

Review Stock Market Overreaction and Fundamental Valuation: Theory and Empirical Evidence (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems) / Springer:Does the stock market overreact? Recent capital market turbulences have cast doubt whether the behaviour of stock markets is in line with rational investor behaviour. This book investigates recent evidence of reversals in the cross section of stock returns. The surprising finding of this monograph is that reversals in stock returns are parallelled by movements in fundamentals. Outperformance in the stock market is driven by outperformance in corporate earnings. This monograph analyses this effect and provides background reasoning both from a theoretical and from an empirical point of view. The reader will pursue the question whether capital markets are efficient and thereby obtain a deeper understanding of the relationship between stock returns and underlying fundamentals.

Review Exciting the Industry of Mankind / Springer:Exciting the Industry of Mankind is the first comprehensive book about George Berkeley's revolutionary views on money and banking. Berkeley broke the conceptual link between money and metallic substance in The Querist, a work published between 1735 and 1737 in Dublin, consisting entirely of questions. Exciting the Industry of Mankind explains what economic and social forces caused Berkeley to write The Querist in response to a major economic crisis in Ireland. Exciting the Industry of Mankind falsifies the view that Berkeley has nothing to tell us about our present and future social and economic life. For the `idealism' Berkeley found in the money form is now becoming a fact of global economic life, when `xenomoney' and `virtual money' exchanges begin to dwarf commodity transactions, and the future becomes the dominant temporal dimension of economic activity. Philosophers, historians, cultural theorists, economists and lovers of Irish history will be interested in this volume.

Review Technology Management in Financial Services (Finance and Capital Markets) / Palgrave Macmillan:Technology is now, and will remain, at the forefront of innovation in the financial services sector, driving new products and services. It is seen as the only way for many firms to remain in business at all. Many will fail to innovate or invest enough. Already the separation of the larger financial institutions from the smaller firms is polarizing the community. The advent of new disruptive technologies is about to hit the financial services markets in the same way the internet did a few years ago. It is vital that those who develop and manage technology in the financial services sector have a clear picture of the role of technology in this fast moving environment. Those who do not embrace this new approach will increasingly be left with obsolete systems.

Review The Great Disorder: Politics, Economics, and Society in the German Inflation, 1914-1924 / Oxford University Press, USA:This book presents a comprehensive study of the most famous and spectacular instance of inflation in modern industrial society-that in Germany during and following World War I. A broad, probing narrative, this book studies inflation as a strategy of social pacification and economic reconstruction and as a mechanism for escaping domestic and international indebtedness. The Great Disorder is a study of German society under the tension of inflation and hyperinflation, and it explores the ways in which Germany's hyperinflation and stabilization were linked to the Great Depression and the rise of National Socialism. This wide-ranging study sets German inflation within the broader issues of maintaining economic stability, social peace, and democracy and thus contributes to the general history of the twentieth century and has important implications for existing and emerging market economies facing the temptation or reality of inflation.
