I am interested in understanding the effects of corporations and politics. There is numerous literature in regards to America and its corporate politics… but am having difficult time in finding the same information for the UK. Moreover, if there aren’t corporate ties, how have they stabilized their economy so efficiently. Is it merely a result of colonization?
Hi. Im relatively new to politics, parties… and I want somebody who can recommend a website where I can start to understand things from their basics….
… I want to know the exact principles of UK political parties, what terms such as neocon, liberalism … mean and perhaps a chance to understand the UK economy in a nutshell,
As you could guess, I am not looking for a giant article on politics (and I do not really care for past prime ministers… but would like a guide on ‘eras’ e.g. Thatcher). I’d prefer a jargon free guide of somesort.
If you cannot find one on politics, I am interested in the economy; I sometimes hear about things but cant really understand them (Im only 15).
Thanks =)
US-centric world is passing away…It is going to be China-centric world in the future…
When US rose to superpower, UK was dwarfed..Now UK is no more significant in world economics and politics..
Would US become another another insignificant entity like current UK???
Product Description
At a cost of $500 billion to American taxpayers, the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s was one of the worst financial crises of the twentieth century as well as a series of crimes unparalleled in American history. Yet the vast majority of its perpetrators will never be prosecuted, and those who were received minimal sentences. In the first in-depth scrutiny of these white-collar crimes, this groundbreaking book comes to disturbing conclusions about the deliberate nature of this financial fraud, the political collusion involved, and the leniency of the criminal justice system in dealing with these “Gucci-clad white-collar criminals.”
“An important, arresting book.” –Michael Rogin, author of Blackface, White Noise
“The best way to rob a bank is to own one.” –House Committee on Government Operations
“This is a great book. Well written and argued, extensively documented, it is without doubt the definitive report on the S & L scandals. Calavita, Pontell and Tillman lay to rest, once and for all, the convenient canard that “bad management” and “bad economic conditions” caused the S & L disaster. Their clear, careful analyses makes it crystal clear that massive insider fraud was basic in every sense.” –Laureen Snider, Queens University (Ontario, Canada)
“This is a most important book by perhaps the most important newspaper editor of the last half-century. The New York Times could not have been the important paper it is had Rosenthal not been its best reporter and editor, unparalleled in judgment, integrity, and an awareness of the future in the media.” –Gay Talese, author of The Kingdom and the Power
“A wonderfully rich, detailed analysis of the savings and loan mess as organized crime . . . offering clear and cogent insights into a very complicated saga.” –Davita Silfen Glasberg, Contemporary Sociology
