Description
The 2008 global financial crisis affects everyone, but its root causes and potential cures – knowledge necessary in order to make strong financial decisions moving forward – are confusing to many. This compilation of expert views from the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management navigates what went wrong, why, and the lessons that these events can teach business people, policy makers, and interested observers alike.
The Finance Crisis and Rescue features essays from ten leading Rotman professors and renowned journalist Michael Hlinka as well as a foreword by Rotman Dean Roger Martin. These intellectual leaders from the front lines of business thinking tackle the subject from varied perspectives, analyzing the crisis through their diverse backgrounds in fields such as structured finance, behavioural finance, value investing, pension plans, risk management, corporate governance, public policy, and leadership.
A timely and considered response to current events, The Finance Crisis and Rescue will be of interest to all those following recent global financial developments.
