Elisabeth Wynhausen was at her desk writing a story about people being sacked when she was sacked herself. The Short Goodbye is the untold story of a nation forever changed by the global financial crisis and the people whose lives have been glossed over in the grand narratives of politicians and commentators. With verve and wit, she dissects the myth that Australia dodged a financial bullet by documenting the lives of those discarded on an economic minefield, from bankers to factory workers, and warns that without reform Australia could suffer a more terrible social and economic calamity from

The Global Financial Crisis is now widely acknowledged to be the most severe economic downturn since the 1930s. It is unique not only in its gravity and scope, but also in its underlying causes and wider social, political, and economic implications. It continues to generate heated debate amongst economists, historians, pundits, political scientists and the general public. But is has been by and large neglected by philosophers and professional ethicists. Global Financial Crisis: the Ethical Issues begins to remedy this neglect. -- Publisher description.

This gain followed a plethora of troubles at the end of the 1980s-the savings & loan crisis that corresponded with widespread commercial real estate problems; the collapse of the nascent junk bond market; the bankruptcy of Drexel Burnham, and the jailing of its hero, Michael Milken; and the military down-sizing that followed the end of the Cold War."

The roots of the 'great recession' are divided into fundamentals with origins in financial liberalisation, financial innovation and income distribution, and complementary or contributory factors such as the international imbalances, the
