Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Blocking out, turning a blind eye, shutting off, not wanting to know, wearing blinkers, seeing what we want to see . these are all expressions of 'denial'. Alcoholics who refuse to recognize their condition, people who brush aside suspicions of their partner's infidelity, the wife who doesn't notice that her husband is abusing their daughter - are supposedly 'in denial'. Governments deny their responsibility for atrocities, and plan them to achieve 'maximum deniability'. Truth Commissions try to overcome the suppression and denial of past horrors. Bystander nations deny their responsibility to intervene. Do these phenomena have anything in common When we deny, are we aware of what we are doing or is this an unconscious defence mechanism to protect us from unwelcome truths Can there be cultures of denial How do organizations like Amnesty and Oxfam try to overcome the public's apparent indifference to distant suffering and cruelty Is denial always so bad - or do we need positive illusions to retain our sanity States of Denial is the first comprehensive study of both the personal and political ways in which uncomfortable realities are avoided and evaded. It ranges from clinical studies of depression, to media images of suffering, to explanations of the 'passive bystander' and 'compassion fatigue'. The book shows how organized atrocities - the Holocaust and other genocides, torture, and political massacres - are denied by perpetrators and by bystanders, those who stand by and do nothing.; Ausgezeichnet: American Society of Criminology's International Division Award, 2008.…

US Dollar - verfügte über 5% des globalen Zinsswap-Marktes sowie andere Derivate, wodurch der Fonds einen fiktiven nominellen Wert von 1 Billion US Dollar hatte. Gemanagt wurde er vom 'Dream Team': Robert Merton und Myron Scholes (beide Nobelpreisträger für ihre Arbeit zur Optionspreisbildung), John Meriwether (früherer Vize-Vorsitzender der Salomon Brothers und ehemaliger Rentenkönig der Wall Street) und David Mullins (ehemaliger Professor an der Harvard Business School und früherer Vize-Vorsitzender der Federal Reserve). Doch trotz des Sachverstands dieser Finanzexperten brach der LTCM im September 1998 zusammen und sorgte damit weltweit für Schlagzeilen und eine Finanzkatastrophe. 14 Investmentbanken mußten 'Finanzspritzen' in Höhe von 3,6 Milliarden US Dollar zur die Stützung des Fonds aufbringen, wodurch auch sie dem Zusammenbruch nahe waren. Nick Dunbar, Herausgeber des Risk Magazine, erzählt hier anschaulich die unglaubliche Geschichte über den Zusammenbruch des LTCM.
