Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Considered one of Jung's most controversial works, 'Answer to Job' also stands as Jung's most extensive commentary on a biblical text. Here, he confronts the story of the man who challenged God, the man who experienced hell on earth and still did not reject his faith. Job's journey parallels Jung's own experience--as reported in 'The Red Book: Liber Novus'--of descending into the depths of his own unconscious, confronting and reconciling the rejected aspects of his soul.This paperback edition of Jung's classic work includes a new foreword by Sonu Shamdasani, Philemon Professor of Jung History at University College London. Described by Shamdasani as 'the theology behind 'The Red Book,'' 'Answer to Job' examines the symbolic role that theological concepts play in an individual's psychic life.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Walter Bagehot's 'Lombard Street', published in 1873 in the wake of a devastating London bank collapse, explained in clear and straightforward terms why central banks must serve as the lender of last resort to ensure liquidity in a faltering credit system. Bagehot's book set down the principles that helped define the role of modern central banks, particularly in times of crisis - but the recent global financial meltdown has posed unforeseen challenges. 'The New Lombard Street' lays out the innovative principles needed to address the instability of today's markets and to rebuild our financial system. Revealing how we arrived at the current crisis, Perry Mehrling traces the evolution of ideas and institutions in the American banking system since the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913. He explains how the Fed took classic central banking wisdom from Britain and Europe and adapted it to America's unique and considerably more volatile financial conditions. Mehrling demonstrates how the Fed increasingly found itself serving as the dealer of last resort to ensure the liquidity of securities markets - most dramatically amid the recent financial crisis. Now, as fallout from the crisis forces the Fed to adapt in unprecedented ways, new principles are needed to guide it. In 'The New Lombard Street', Mehrling persuasively argues for a return to the classic central bankers' 'money view', which looks to the money market to assess risk and restore faith in our financial system.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Leslie Kurke is one of the sharpest and most original scholars of ancient Greek literary culture writing today. Informed, intellectually precise, and always engaged, her work has long been a pleasure and an education. Here she brings all of her considerable theoretical experience to the life and work of that least refined of ancient authors: Aesop. A hick, a foreigner, a slave, Aesop speaks with no kind of authority and yet by all accounts he is wise. Kurke takes this central conundrum as the starting point for a wide-ranging exploration of what it means in ancient Greek culture to be highbrow or lowbrow, gold or dross. Along the way there are some surprising diversions, numerous clever insights, and quite a lot of sophisticated and not so sophisticated fun.'--James Davidson, University of Warwick.
