The Fearful Rise of Markets: A Short View of Global Bubbles and Synchnonized Meltdowns
, 2010
Greed had much to do with the implosion of the world financial system in 2008. Capitalism expects and needs people to be greedy but that greed has to be counterbalanced by fear; get it right and you will be rich, get it wrong and you will lose it all. Over many decades, many decisions, that sometimes seemed small at the time, helped to rob financiers of their fear. They did not fear a reckoning if their decisions went awry. Instead they were left with greed and overconfidence. And that is what allowed the crisis to happen. Using where we are today as a finishing point, Financial Times journalist and market's commentator John Authers, takes a uniquely longer view of what happened. Picking up the story in 1954, when stock markets finally recovered from the Great Crash of 1929, chapter by chapter, and piece by piece, John leads the reader through the decades, years, months and then days that led to the inevitable and escalating crisis. Greed without Fear will help readers achieve clarity over what mattered most in creating this crisis, helping them to understand what investment strategies may now start to work. And it will achieve, for them, a clear grasp of the remaining risks that confront us. Подробнее

Catherine the Great
, 2008
Neither a comprehensive 'life and times' nor a conventional biography, this is an engaging and accessible exploration of rulership and monarchial authority in eighteenth century Russia. Its purpose is to see how Catherine II of Russia conceived of her power and how it was represented to her subjects. Simon Dixon asks essential questions about Catherin'es life and reign, and offers new and stimulating arguments about the Englightenment, the power of the monarch in early modern Europe, and the much-debated role of the «great individual» in history.

Motherland
, 2008
20th century Russia is a colourful and dynamic story from Lenin's Revolution, the murder of the Romanovs, Stalin's gulags through to perestroika and glasnost Provides the background to the events that we saw and read about on TV and in the newspapers – the Chechen War; Yeltsin turning back the tanks outside the Russian parliament, etc. Russia is still in confusing state of flux politically and economically – this book unravels the chaos Offers particularly strong and original sections on nationalism and ethnicity Focuses on psychological indoctrination and how a country can become a cult Motherland tells the dramatic story of the rise and fall of the Soviet Union. From Lenin's virtual coup in November 1917 to Boris Yeltsin's ruthless takeover of power in 1991, the book culminates with a new view of the Yeltsin years. David Marples focuses on the evolution of Russia during the Soviet period, and the attempt to harness Russian nationalism to the avowed Soviet mission of promoting World Communism. Along the way heanalyses some of the more intensive historical debates and uncovers some of the myths perpetuated by state propaganda, especially those associated with the Great Patriotic War. David Marples is Professor of History at the University of Alberta. He is the author of eight previous books on Russia and the Soviet Union and has a particular interest in the issue of nationalities. He served as a regular consultant on Soviet issues to the governments of Canada and the USA and is uniquely placed to write the definitive account of modern Russia. Подробнее
Bandits, gangsters and the Mafia
, 2008
Russia is always regarded fs the coming country but never seems to arrive. And so it turned out during the 1990s. Euphoria, inside the country and outside, greeted the demise of communism in December 1991. It was presumed that the application of western economic theory to Russia would transform the failed planned or command economy into a flourishing market economy in almost the twinkling of an eye. There would be some pain, like the pain of childbirth, but it would be short-lived. Russia would join the ranks of the 'civilised' countries. This expressive Russian term implies that Russia was previously viewed as barbaric, outside the gates of paradise. Подробнее
