Author Paul Schulte, former economic analyst with the National Security Council, draws upon his own decade-spanning research to demonstrate how unethical banking practices provide the brute force that drives political and economic crises worldwide. By unbundling how credit markets work, this authoritative guide provides deep insight into crisis avoidance and detection, successful investment climates, and the groundwork that must be in place for policy makers to build a sound basis for economic growth. Clear, succinct case studies provide examples of policy and its effects on economic stability, giving you a stronger understanding of the network of forces that determine how loan\/deposit ratios behave around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCountries that lend more than they save consistently get into trouble, with catastrophic consequences for the rich and middle class as well as the politicians.

Companies in Silicon Valley and giants like Alibaba are challenging the landscape for banking. This has profound implications for policy makers, banks and for a new class of entrepreneurs who are developing software which is taking away market share from bank and challenging decades-old financial empires. The book will explore the reasons why many global banks remain flat-footed. It will go into detail about the new companies and software that are moving in the Far East and with innovations in securities, bonds, foreign exchange, retail lending and SME lending. Lastly the book will look at the strategy behind Alibaba and how it will challenge many companies from a powerful base inside China.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Author xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Website xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A Few Numbers Can Crack the Code xxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART ONE How Bank Credit Drives Economics (Not the Other Way Around) and Why\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1 A Few Simple Concepts That Anyone Can Understand 3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 2 Differences between Liquidity and Solvency Are Thin 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 3 Anatomy of a Credit Crisis and Examples in the Real World 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART TWO I Am from the Government, and I Am Here to Help Your Broken Banking System\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 4 Socialization of Debt after Mismanagement by Bankers (or, Why Keynesian Economics Doesn’t Work) 55\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 5 Why Capitalist Bankers Create Soviet Banking Models When the Going Gets Rough 75\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 6 Central Banks Are Carrying the Greatest Load and Will Dominate Outcomes 89\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 7 How Bankers and Policy Rescuers Affect Stocks, Foreign Exchange, and Property 103\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART THREE Interlude\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 8 Why Government and Institutions Get Suckered into Debt Binges 119\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePART FOUR The Revolution in Financial Architecture\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 9 Why Is This Revolution Happening Now and Why So Fast? 135\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 10 The Revolution in Alternative Investments 145\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 11 The Revolution in Big Data and SME Lending in the Emerging World 157\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 12 Banking and Analytics—The PayPal Gang, Palantir versus Alibaba, and Hundsun 177\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 195\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography 197\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 199\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePAUL SCHULTE\u003c\/b\u003e runs Schulte Research, his own financial services consultancy based in Hong Kong where he is a permanent resident.
