Editorial : From Publishers Weekly George (How the Other Half Lives) considers the Third World debt crisis as symptomatic of "an increasingly polarized world organized for the benefit of a minority that will stop at nothing to maintain and strengthen its control and privilege." She brings into focus the informal financial-political "club" of U.S. banks, creditor-country governments, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and argues that they "work together to keep the Third World in line" (author's emphasis). In her view the IMF is an enforcer of the status quo with its "adjustment" programs that, as she forcefully demonstrates, contribute to the accelerating unemployment, malnutrition and ecological breakdown prevalent in many African and Latin American countries. Urging that the Third World debt problem be taken off the financial pages and put on the political agenda, she warns that "we are all passengers on the Titanic, although some of us are travelling first-class."

A Fate Worse Than Debt
Lovely book and very interesting. Three Soviets working for the FBI were named by Hanssen and were called back to Russia and executed. It could risk raising the book's price if the present content remains. Kept me engaged. The interviews with Mark Yusko and Alice Handy were particularly enjoyable and instructive.
As CIO of Georgetown University and investment management executive of Alternative Asset Managers, respectively, the authors' historical perspectives and informed commentary are interesting, and their organizations are lucky to have them.
I hope Kochard and Rittereiser are interviewing another dozen CIOs for a sequel to this excellent and important investment management book!. This fascinating book looks at the causative role of plants in history. It's the most fastest way of communicating with other people. In short, I eat, sleep, and dream photography when not doing my "real job" that pays the mortgage. The book arrived promptly, in very good condition,
