  Meltdown - Greed Scandal and the...

  The incredible story of a once-venerable Swiss bank that produced a litany of financial scandals and whose collapse reveals the amorality at the heart of the global banking system. 
   
   
   
  Credit Suisse was a 166-year-old bastion of global banking. But a veneer of high-class service disguised a darker, much dirtier reality. From its sterile Zurich headquarters, Credit Suisse banked dictators and drug dealers, hid stolen Nazi gold, and helped corrupt bankers fleece the firm's own clients of billions of dollars. Its top executives oversaw a global operation that laundered money for autocrats; they hired spies to track one another through the cobbled streets of the Swiss financial capital; and they helped clients hide their money from the world's tax authorities. This is the story of a tawdry total meltdown of one of the biggest, most influential, and most scandal-ridden banks on the planet. 
   
   
   
  Duncan Mavin is uniquely sourced to tell the story of Credit Suisse's scandal-ridden demise, with dozens of inside-the-room contacts. The bank's collapse was the biggest shock to the financial system since the Financial Crisis of 2008, and sparked a media frenzy. But only Duncan has had access to key sources within the bank's executive suite—including former CEOs—and the inner circle that brings this critical, rollicking story to life.

  'Local is Our Future' by Helena Norberg-Hodge connects the dots between our social, economic, ecological and spiritual crises, revealing how a systemic shift from global to local can address these seemingly disparate problems simultaneously. Distilling the wisdom gleaned from four decades of activism and direct experience in both the global North and South, Helena lucidly deconstructs the old narrative of 'progress' through technological advance and corporate growth, while presenting a concise and compelling case for economic localization. Her arguments are supported by real-world examples proving that – beneath the radar of the mainstream media and far from the fetishized techno-utopia of Silicon Valley – healthy and vibrant futures, built upon connection to nature and community, are already in the making.Endorsements:Bill McKibben' - There is no more important task than re-localizing our economies… And this book will tell you how it's done.'Charles Eisenstein - 'A potent conceptual lens… to reverse the ruin of culture, nature, and place.'David Suzuki - 'The argument for economic decentralization, powerfully and passionately presented in this fine book, is one that we can no longer ignore.'Judy Wicks - 'An essential guidebook, lighting the way towards economies of human and ecological wellbeing.'Iain McGilchrist - 'Localization…is the only hope for the future.
