Meyer helped make the economic policies that steered the United States through some of the wildest and most tumultuous times in its recent history. Now, in \u003cem\u003eA Term at the Fed\u003c\/em\u003e, Governor Meyer provides an insider's view of the Fed, the decisions that affected both the U.S. and world economies, and the challenges inherent in using monetary policy to guide the economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Governor Meyer was appointed by President Clinton to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in 1996, the United States was entering one of the most prosperous periods in its history. It was the time of \"irrational exuberance\" and the fabled New Economy. Soon, however, the economy was tested by the Asian financial crisis, the Russian default and devaluation, the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management, the bursting of America's stock bubble, and the terrorist attacks of 9\/11.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn what amounts to a definitive playbook of monetary policy, Meyer now relives the Fed's closed-door debates -- debates that questioned how monetary policy should adapt to the possibility of a New Economy, how the Fed should respond to soaring equity prices, and whether the Fed should broker the controversial private sector bailout of LTCM, among other issues. Meyer deftly weaves these issues with firsthand stories about the personalities involved, from Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan to the various staffers, governors, politicians, and reporters that populate the world of the Fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince the end of his term, Meyer has continued to watch the Fed and the world economy. He believes that we are witnessing a repetition of some of the events of the remarkable 1990s -- including a further acceleration in productivity and perhaps another bull market. History does not repeat itself, yet Meyer shows us how the lessons learned yesterday may help the Fed shape policy today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917004423326,"sku":"ING-9780060542719","price":21.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780060542719.jpg?v=1782785174"},{"product_id":"9780060745813","title":"Inside The Tornado: Strategies For Developing, Leveraging, And Surviving Hypergrowth Markets","description":"Author: Geoffrey A Moore\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780060745813\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: HarperCollins Publishers\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 03 Mar 2005\u003cbr\u003ePages: 272 \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n The bestselling guide to the high-stakes world of high tech—now in paperback!

It reveals the social and political contests that give 'global' its meaning, by examining the contested nature of globalisation as it is expressed in the restructuring of work.Rejecting conventional explanations of globalisation as a process that automatically leads to transformations in working lives, or as a project that is strategically designed to bring about lean and flexible forms of production, this book advances an understanding of the social practices that constitute global change. Through case studies that span from the labour flexibility debates in Britain and Germany, to the strategies and tactics of corporations and workers, the author examines how globalisation is interpreted and experienced in everyday life. Contestation, she argues, is about more than just direct protests and resistances. It has become a central feature of the practices that enable or confound global restructuring.This book offers students and scholars of international political economy, sociology and industrial relations an innovative framework for the analysis of globalisation and the restructuring of work. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47918934818974,"sku":"ING-9780719085703","price":38.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780719085703.jpg?v=1782800588"},{"product_id":"9780719087950","title":"Globalgothic","description":"Author: Glennis Byron\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780719087950\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 31 Jul 2013\u003cbr\u003ePages: 240 \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The dead travel fast and, in our contemporary globalised world, so too does the gothic.'

It charts the contexts in which the socialists challenged the union's Liberal leaders from the late 1890s and considers the complex strikes in 1910 against the implementation of the Liberal government's miners' eight-hour day. It analyses the emergence and development of a mass rank-and-file movement in the coalfield based around demands for a miners' minimum wage and, when this principle was won in March 1912, for an improved minimum wage.

Anthony Robbins. At the age of 21 Art Berg broke his neck in a serious car accident. A quadriplegic, he was told he would never walk again, work or live independently. He was encouraged to believe his life was over. Since then he has run two multimillion dollar corporations and been inducted into the Speakers' Hall of Fame. He has addressed hundreds of Fortune 500 companies and organisations, including American Express, and travelled 200,000 miles each year to do so. In 1993 he set a world record by being the first quadriplegic of his level to race a 325-mile ultra-marathon. He also defied the doctors by marrying and becoming the father of two children. The Impossible Just Takes a Little Longer is Art's inspiring story of his perseverance against the odds and the ways of thinking that enabled him to achieve all he has. In his captivating autobiography he explains how his physical paralysis is similar to the figurative paralysis so many of us feel - and how we can use his insights to become master of our own lives.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47918968799390,"sku":"ING-9780749923631","price":35.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780749923631.jpg?v=1782801951"},{"product_id":"9780776629360","title":"Canada's Fluid Borders","description":"Author: Geoffrey Hale\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780776629360\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: University of Ottawa Press\u003cbr\u003eYear first published: 25 Jan 2021\u003cbr\u003ePages: 120 \u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eLes politiques de commerce et d'investissement font face a un environnement geopolitique en evolution.
