Synopsis

As the leading insurance market in the world, Lloyd's of London was highly respected for its underwriting expertise and prestigious reputation - until it became embroiled in a scandal of catastrophic consequences in the late 1980s. This is the inside story of one of the most merciless insurance battles in British commercial history; a story of suspected fraud, misinformation, negligence and incompetence.
When Syndicate 418 voided a major reinsurance contract held by Marine Syndicate 334, it precipitated devastating losses and personal tragedy for many of 334's members. Facing potential financial ruin from skyrocketing asbestosis, pollution and DES claims, desperate Names banded together to enter a tumultuous legal fight that spanned a decade. As their Association fought for justice, the true extent of corporate malfeasance and institutional failings came to light. Against a backdrop of escalating legal disputes, regulatory interventions and financial turmoil, tensions rose and took their toll - families were torn apart, fortunes shattered and lives lost.
Lloyd's in Crisis offers a sobering account of the inner workings of the insurance industry and the profound human cost of corporate negligence. Meticulously researched and incredibly insightful, this is an unprecedented glimpse into Lloyd's of London's most notorious chapter; a pivotal time in the evolution of the Lloyd's market and the struggle for capital and accountability that still reverberates for its Names today.

    Economics is indeed a Social Science that delves into and unravels the production, distribution and consumption of everyday goods and services. It analyzes the behavior of buyers and sellers, which gives Economics the social definition but also employs a systematic approach to problem solving. Thereby making it a recognized science as well.  
    As a student of all things Political, Business and Economics I continue to refresh my knowledge of key terms in these areas. Economics, Business and Politics overlap a great deal in academia and in real-world applications. Artificial Intelligence will add for the better bringing the fields of Business, Politics and Economics together for the betterment of society. Though not without huge risks. 
    Contained within is a small list of common knowledge terms in the Social Science of Economics. I hope these terms and definitions provide some insight into the world of economics.
