Managing Risk In The
New Economy (258 pages, $60 hardcover, 2001, ISBN 0735202176), by Dimitris
N. Chorafas, published by the New York Institute of Finance. This book
was born out of an intensive research project that involved 161 senior
executives, working in 84 different organizations. Chorafas pinpoints exactly
where the major risks lie, particularly in the global economy. He demonstrates
that the economy is global, the new economy has drastically increased availability
of credit, that it is to a large extent unregulated, and that it is networked,
which results in innovation and opportunity. All of these factors have
opened the new economy to systemic risks that are not fully understood.
Many in the financial world will find Chorafas's insights and recommendations
invaluable.

Money & Power:
The History of Business (274 pages, $27.95 hardcover, 2001, ISBN 047140053X),
by Howard Means with a foreword by David Grubin, published by John Wiley
& Sons. From merchant ships to microchips, industry has been defined
by powerful business leaders who have caused seismic shifts in the growth
of commerce, this book says. These visionaries introduced themselves, their
products, and their ideas at just the right moments in time, unwittingly
bringing about the defining change of the last millennium - the transfer
of money and power from church and crown to the new secular empire of business.
This book takes readers on a journey to the birthplaces of business - from
the estates of medieval Europe to the campuses of Silicon Valley. This
is a tale of how moguls and dynasties pave the way to wealth and prosperity
and shaped the modern world.

Irrational Exuberance
(319
pages, $15.95 softcover, 2001, ISBN 0767907183), by Robert J. Shiller,
published by Broadway Books. When the hardcover version of this book was
first published in March 2000, it sparked a firestorm of debate. Providing
an incisive - and devastatingly accurate - analysis of the factors that
has powered the financial markets to their historical peaks, the author
argued that the euphoria about the continuing prospects of the bull market
were misguided. He concluded that consensus view of the market was the
result of irrational exuberance - wishful thinking on the part of investors
and economists alike that blinded them to the truth that stocks were grossly
overvalued. With the publishing of this paperback edition, a year later,
the points made in this book are more relevant than ever.
