How the Stock Market Works

Making money demands effort, whether working for a salary or investing. You get nothing for nothing. Anyone who tells you the stock market is an absolute doddle, and money for old rope, is either a conman or a fool. And the proof of that became very clear with the stock market depressions starting in 2007. But doing a bit of work does not necessarily mean heavy mathematics and several hours eve…

Following the Money U.S. Finance in the World Economy

No longer are financial instruments confined to bank loans and deposits, stocks and bonds, and other traditional forms. Numer- ous financial products have emerged to meet new needs and pref- erences of individuals and institutions. At the same time, opera- tions of major financial institutions increasingly have extended beyond national borders and are now carried out on a worldwide basis. Su…

Raising Angel & Venture Capital Finance

Few entrepreneurs succeed in raising Angel or Venture Capital f i n a n c e . M a n y b u s i n e s s o w n e r s d o n ’ t b o t h e r t o a p p l y knowing that they won’t be successful. Others simply don’t need it and have an operation capable of generating the free cash flow they need to grow their business. Only a very few are able to meet the requirements of the Angel or Ventur…

Methods and Models in Applied Corporate Finance

Every day, businesses face decision choices. For example, should a bank choose to expand organically by opening new branches, or should it expand by acquiring another bank with its own network of branches. Or, should a technology company release a new version of a product line now, and thereby cannibalize sales of its existing product line, or should it wait a year at the risk of giving its co…

The Management of Global Financial Markets

The preface of a 1992 publication from the Forum on Debt and Development (Fondad), Fragile Finance: Rethinking the International Monetary System, included the following statement: “In the face of dangerous instability of global financial flows it is high time for policymakers to seriously rethink the role they should play in a market-based international monetary and financial system.

RETHINKING SOVEREIGN DEBT

Sovereign debt markets have demonstrated incredible resilience despite a century of dramatic political and economic upheaval. Among the most remarkable aspects of the contemporary debt regime is the degree to which expectations of borrowers remain relatively uniform even in the face of such major shifts. These basic expectations resolve into one background rule: sovereign borrowers must repa…

Emerging from the Euro Debt Crisis

Despite the impressive rebound seen on European financial markets following Mario Draghi’s famous speech in late July 2012, European leaders still face formidable challenges. The restoration of some confidence on financial markets should not conceal the long-term challenges to make the European Monetary Union function better in future and to make it more resilient to shocks. Despite somewhat …

The Future of the Euro

The purpose of this book is to move beyond a purely economic under- standing of the euro crisis and its likely aftermath by emphasizing the political foundations of markets. Our goals in doing so are threefold: first, to develop a holistic understanding of what caused the euro crisis, which incorporates political, ideational, institutional, as well as economic and financial factors; second, to …

The Fall of the House of Credit

Why would anyone who does not work in the banking industry want to read a book about banking? The subject should be a bore. Savings accounts are not fashionable. Mortgages do not entertain. Most of us – well, apart from banking professionals and a few banking professors like myself – have better things to do than think about payment cards or credit transfers. All we want from banks is secur…

Access device fraud and related financial crimes

An informant once said to us, “Man, you have to be crazy to use a gun to hold up a bank; those credit cards can get you the same thing with no risk.” Whether it be filling out fraudulent applications, stealing cards from the mail, or taking over legitimate accounts, it can be done — “You have to pick them though, watch out for the good banks; they’ve got systems to catch you if you …

THE ROLE OF CENTRAL BANKS IN FINANCIAL STABILITY How Has It Changed?

The wide-scale financial crisis of recent years has focused attention on the role of central banks in achieving and maintaining financial stability. Indeed, financial stability was the primary reason for the establishment of many of the earliest central banks. But as financial crises diminished in frequency and severity in the post-World War II period, particularly in industrial coun- tries, ce…

CRIMINAL CAPITAL

For much of the last 20 years, I have sifted through thousands of files relating to hundreds of relationships involving financial institutions in different parts of the world that have either facilitated crimes or laundered the proceeds of crimes on behalf of customers. I have tried to maintain a balanced perspective, recognising that many financial institutions are committed to the preventio…

Policy and Choice

Then should the government intervene in the economy? When do mar- kets fail? How do we craft policies that maximize social welfare? How do we design policies to minimize unintended consequences? Traditional public finance provides a powerful framework to tackle those questions. This frame- work, however, relies on an overly simple model of human behavior. This book revisits the core questions…
