Other People's Money: The Real Business of Finance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 714min

The finance sector of Western economies is too large and attracts too many of the smartest college graduates. Financialization over the past three decades has created a structure that lacks resilience and supports absurd volumes of trading. The finance sector devotes too little attention to the search for new investment opportunities and the stewardship of existing ones and far too much to secondary-market dealing in existing assets. Regulation has contributed more to the problems than the solutions. Why? What is finance for? John Kay, with wide practical and academic experience in the world of finance, understands the operation of the financial sector better than most. He believes in good banks and effective asset managers, but good banks and effective asset managers are not what he sees. In a dazzling and revelatory tour of the financial world as it has emerged from the wreckage of the 2008 crisis, Kay does not flinch in his criticism: We do need some of the things that Citigroup and Goldman Sachs do, but we do not need Citigroup and Goldman to do them. And many of the things done by Citigroup and Goldman do not need to be done at all. The finance sector needs to be reminded of its primary purpose: to manage other people's money for the benefit of businesses and households. It is an aberration when some of the finest mathematical and scientific minds are tasked with devising algorithms for the sole purpose of exploiting the weakness of other algorithms for computerized trading in securities. To travel further down that road leads to ruin. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Walter Dixon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/gdan/001729/bk_gdan_001729_sample.mp3.

Blood Done Sign My Name: A True Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 714min

The “riveting”* true story of the fiery summer of 1970, which would forever transform the town of Oxford, North Carolina - a classic portrait of the fight for civil rights in the tradition of To Kill a Mockingbird (*Chicago Tribune) On May 11, 1970, Henry Marrow, a 23-year-old black veteran, walked into a crossroads store owned by Robert Teel and came out running. Teel and two of his sons chased and beat Marrow, then killed him in public as he pleaded for his life. Like many small Southern towns, Oxford had barely been touched by the civil rights movement. But in the wake of the killing, young African Americans took to the streets. While lawyers battled in the courthouse, the Klan raged in the shadows and black Vietnam veterans torched the town’s tobacco warehouses. Tyson’s father, the pastor of Oxford’s all-white Methodist church, urged the town to come to terms with its bloody racial history. In the end, however, the Tyson family was forced to move away. Tim Tyson’s gripping narrative brings gritty blues truth and soaring gospel vision to a shocking episode of our history. Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award “If you want to read only one book to understand the uniquely American struggle for racial equality and the swirls of emotion around it, this is it.” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) “Blood Done Sign My Name is a most important book and one of the most powerful meditations on race in America that I have ever read.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)“Pulses with vital paradox...It’s a detached dissertation, a damning dark-night-of-the-white-soul, and a ripping yarn, all united by Tyson’s powerful voice, a brainy, booming Bubba profundo.” (Entertainment Weekly) “Engaging and frequently stunning.” (San Diego Union-Tribune) ungekürzt.

God in Sandals: When Jesus Walked Among Us , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 714min

Margaret Montreuil's novel reveals the familiar story from new angles. God in Sandals: When Jesus Walked among Us is an inspirational novel about the most famous and influential person in history. Because Jesus called himself "the Son of Man", and "the Son of God", people couldn't help but wonder what he meant. In fact, people still wonder about him today. This story plunges headlong into that amazing mystery of who Jesus was and is. What did God incarnate experience and feel when he became one of us? Why did people so strongly love or hate him? And why do people still seek to know him today? This intimate biography is about the human side of Jesus and is an imaginative journey through the Biblical narratives of his life. By sharing in the experiences of those who knew him, we, too, can see and hear him and better understand the meaning of his coming. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mark Rosenwinkel.

This Sceptred Isle: The Dynasties: The Complete BBC Collection, Hörbuch, Digital, 714min

The Sceptred Isle provided the definitive radio account of the British nation, from 55BC to the end of the 20th century. Now its attention turns towards the incredibly powerful families which have wielded power behind the scenes for the past 1,000 years. The Dynasties relates how the loyalties of this privileged elite, many of whom are older than the monarchy itself, were tested and rewarded; it also uncovers a multitude of murderous plots, bloody battles, adulteries, intrigues and shocking executions. The first volume examines three powerful houses: The Godwines, the north-dwelling Percys and the royalist Despensers. Volume two looks at the Mortimers, the Berkeleys and a triumvirate of warring Irish dysnasties: the Macmurroughs, the Fitzgeralds and the O'Neills. The third volume investigates the Churchills, the Cecils and the Scottish Dalrymples. In the fourth volume the Cavendishes appear, along with the Comptons and the Russells. In the fifth and final volume, the families examined include the Carringtons, the Waldegraves and the Norfolks. There is also a look at the families who today continue the tradition of dynastical power at the highest levels. Language: English. Narrator: Anna Massey.
