WHO RUNS BRITAIN? HOW BRITAIN’S NEW ELITE ARE CHANGING OUR LIVES
Book ID/图书代码： 03540008B27581
English Summary/英文概要： On 13 September 2007, Robert Peston broke the news that Northern Rock had become a victim of the global credit crunch and was seeking an emergency loan from the Bank of England. It was the latest in a long line of scoops by this award-winning journalist. Over the weeks that followed, the Government found itself exposed to the Rock to the tune of 57 billion or almost £2000 for every taxpayer.
As Robert Peston shows in his fascinating new book, the seeds for the collapse of Northern Rock and the upheavals in the financial markets were sown years before. WHO RUNS BRITAIN? is the first time anyone has drawn all the threads together to weave a story that s rich in extraordinary characters and outrageous feats of economic bravado.
This book is about the widening gap between the super-rich and the rest of us. It explores and explodes the myth that the financial creativity of those who are amassing these vast fortunes is good for the wider economy and for all of us.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2007年9月13日，羅伯特•佩斯特爆出新聞，次貸危機已經拖垮了北岩銀行，它正向英格蘭銀行索求緊急貸款。這是這位元多次獲獎記者最近的一條獨家新聞。
接下來的幾周內，英國政府揭露北岩銀行欠納稅人5700萬英鎊，人均2000英鎊。
羅伯特的新書《英國誰來經營》將向您揭示搞垮北岩銀行的罪魁禍首是誰？金融世界的巨變已經進過了多年的埋伏。這本書首次將所有的線索串起來，講述一個人物個性豐富、發生在狂妄經濟世界的瘋狂故事。
本書講述了富有階級與平民百姓間越來越大的差距。作者要向我們揭示的是那些累計資產的金融創新產品對宏觀經濟和大眾都是有好處的。(Celia)
