It was a high-wire act that the Swiss authorities had to perform in four fateful days in March 2023: the biggest merger in the banking world since the financial crisis. What really happened in those dramatic 96 hours? Could the catastrophe have been avoided? And how could Credit Suisse of all banks – one of the few global financial institutions to have emerged from the financial crisis stronger than before – end up in such an epochal predicament? Peppered with much hitherto unknown information, this book provides the first detailed insider's account of the dramatic downfall of the Swiss-American money house, which always sailed very close to the wind – and in the end went down.Show book
"Kaya mo ba?" Can you take it? An instructor asks a group of migrant workers in the Philippines, as they prepare for domestic work in wealthier countries. Can you take the grueling work? "Kaya," the women say. "We can." The phrase "human trafficking" often conjures nightmarish images of sexual exploitation, but Rhacel Salazar Parreñas reveals that the vast majority of trafficking victims are domestic workers who suffer abuse not at the hands of crime lords but rather "ordinary" family employers. Drawing on twenty years of groundbreaking research across three continents, Parreñas exposes the grim realities faced by migrant workers ensnared in forced labor due to poverty and debt bondage. She uncovers how entrenched social and legal norms, coupled with a patronizing "employer savior complex," foster a troubling sense of ownership among employers over "their" domestic workers. Through powerful firsthand accounts, Parreñas illustrates the migrants' desperation, and the power dynamics that lead to a global network of exploitation. Parreñas's narrative challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about everyday household arrangements and calls for justice and fair treatment for all workers.Show book
