Beyond the Crash: Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalisation [Hardcover] Gordon Brown


Beyond the Crash: Overcoming the First Crisis of Globalisation  
Gordon Brown's book will offer insight into the events that led to the fiscal downward spiral and the reactions of world leaders as they took steps to avoid further disaster. The book will also offer measures Brown believes the world should adopt to regain fiscal stability. Long admired for his grasp of economic issues, Brown's book will be a work of paramount interest during these uncertain financial times and is sure to attract intense media coverage. The book offers a unique perspective on the financial crisis as well as innovative ideas that will help create a sound economic future and will help readers understand what really has happened to our economy. Mr Brown has this to say: 'We now live in a world of global trade, global financial flows, global movements of people and instant global communications. Our economies are connected as never before, and I believe that global economic problems require global solutions and global institutions. In writing my analysis of the financial crisis, I wanted to help explain how we got here, but more importantly to offer some recommendations as to how the next stage of globalisation can be managed so that the economy works for people and not the other way around'

(Daily Telegraph) 09 Dec 2010
Gordon Brown vanished after losing this year’s general election. In the Commons he did not show up to vote. He locked himself up in his Scottish home. Rumours filtered down from his Kirkcaldy constituency: the former Labour leader was writing a book. By August this year, three months after his election disaster, it was finished and here it is, all 90,000 words of it. 


It is not an easy read, indeed giving it to a friend for Christmas should be treated as a hostile act. Nevertheless the central thesis is powerful. 
Three years ago the global financial system went into meltdown. Bankers, experts and politicians were baffled. Only one man on the planet – Gordon Brown – coped. Almost single-handedly he averted economic depression by arranging a rescue package for the bankrupt banks. The debt of gratitude owed by the world to this extraordinary and far-sighted individual is incalculable........

We did publish at 0910 hours CET but it seems has if we had Gremlins!

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Your ambition is evident to everyone. It's more important to get ahead than make friends. While this attitude helps you up the ladder of success, it alienates you from those who should be your allies. Stop being so single minded about your goals. Take time to know your colleagues, especially the ones who demonstrate executive ability. They'll be powerful allies when you need help to get to the top. If you own your own business or manage a team, reward a talented worker.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) Beware of trying to convert others to your point of view. The more you press, the further you'll drive people away. It's more important to maintain friendly ties with colleagues than have them parrot all of your views. Besides, variety is the spice of life. Differences of opinion allow you to turn good ideas into great ones. This can't happen if everyone is in agreement all the time. If someone is pressuring you to join their church or political party, establish a firm boundary.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) Temptation is too strong; you simply have to stick your nose where it doesn't belong. Chances are you will learn something disturbing as a result. Perhaps you'll get wind of an imminent divorce. You may hear that a certain company is facing bankruptcy. It's even possible you'll stumble across some compromising photographs. Whatever the discovery, you need to remain silent. You can use your inside information against a bully, but only when they make a direct threat.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Control issues are coming to a head. You're tired of people pushing you around. Lately, any time you've suggested going to a restaurant, movie, or concert, you've been shot down. It's time to assert your desires, even at the risk of a loud argument. The more you keep capitulating to your other half, the weaker your self esteem becomes. You simply can't keep putting yourself in the path of rejection. Everyone has their limit, and you've finally reached yours.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Everybody knows you're capable of tremendous hard work. Maybe that's why assignments keep getting dumped on your desk any time a colleague goes on holiday. You're a little tired of keeping the ship afloat while everybody else plays around. Make your displeasure known to your boss. Ask for additional compensation the next time you are given extra work. If your request is not granted, stop working at such a frenetic pace. It's only getting you into more trouble.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You long for a deep, abiding romance. Even if you're in a steady relationship, you may be contemplating going astray. This is not like you at all, but desperate times call for desperate measures. You're tired of being neglected by loved ones. You long to bask in the admiration of an attentive admirer. This is a perfectly natural impulse. If you're not appreciated in your home, maybe it's time to go solo, even for a short time. Make a clean break before starting a new romance.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Digging into your past can be revealing. It can also cause a shock. If you stumble across some troubling information about a relative, stay calm. Don't make any assumptions until you're able to ask your family member about the incident. If you're no longer in contact with the relative in question, this may be a blessing in disguise. Now that you have a better understanding of their once inexplicable behaviour, you can put old worries to rest.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Try not to read too much into someone special's comments and remarks. Maybe they're just trying to make conversation. If you want to steer this relationship into romantic waters, you need to take the initiative. Be direct about your desires; dropping hints won't work. If you're already in a relationship, resist the urge to accuse your partner of betrayal. Too often, you jump to the wrong conclusions. Give your lover the benefit of the doubt.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Letting go of material possessions can be difficult, especially when you're grieving a loss. Still, all the clutter that has accumulated in your home is creating more trouble than it's worth. Set aside a few hours to clear out a closet, cupboard, or drawer. The simple act of organising one contained area will give you the courage to tackle bigger jobs. Keep a few mementoes of a special relationship, and then donate the rest to charity. Better yet, sell it at a yard sale.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Your intensity commands attention and inspires others to action. Friends, neighbours, and colleagues are afraid to defy your orders. They know how angry you become when you fall short of a goal. While your methods yield results, they can interfere with your relationships. Try slipping on a velvet glove before extending an iron fist. Better yet, lower your standards so everyone won't feel such pressure. This is one of those instances when the journey is more important than the destination.
.
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Exploring your dreams or fantasies will yield impressive fruit. You've been plagued by certain images for some time now. Learning what your subconscious is trying to say will speed you towards your goals. Too often, you take an analytical approach to problems. As far as a personal dilemma is concerned, you need to go with your instinct. Push all the facts aside and listen to your intuition. People aren't motivated by logic; they're moved by lust, greed, and longing.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Changes are happening on the social front; friends who once got along can't stand each other. You'll be asked to take sides. If there's anything you hate, it's passing judgement on others. Don't get sucked into this dispute. If one of the parties decides to drop you, so be it. You'll still have plenty of friends. That's because you don't insist on everyone conforming to a certain standard. Your open minded attitude is the secret to your popularity.
