By Charles R. Morris

The violent financial disruptions of the past several years have toppled nearly all of the lords of Wall Street, the global financial regulators, and the economic gurus. While true believers of free market fundamentalism oversaw the great asset bubble of 1995-2005, there were voices that warned of economic collapse. Among them, three men stood out as beacons of sound judgment and wisdom. The careers of these three men are, to a large degree, stories of success in volatile times. With the benefit of his own deep understanding of markets and finance, bestselling author Charles R. Morris brilliantly analyzes their records. In eminently readable prose, he distills their distinctive strategies, their wisdom, and their experience — and argues for the importance humility and common sense in navigating the current global economic crisis.

The Bourne Deception

By Eric Van Lustbader

P655

After Bourne is ambushed and nearly killed while in Indonesia, he fakes his death to take on a new identity and mission — to find out who is trying to assassinate him. In the process, Bourne begins to question who he really is and what he would become if he no longer carried the Bourne identity. Across the globe, an American passenger airliner is shot down over Egypt-apparently by an Iranian missile-leaving the world wondering if it was an accident or an act of aggression. A massive global team lead by Soraya Moore is assembled to investigate the attack before the situation escalates. When Bourne’s search for his would-be assassin intersects with Soraya’s search for the group behind the airplane bombing, Bourne is thrust into a race to prevent a new world war. But it may already be too late.
