This book examines new issues in financial markets and institutions raised by the global economic crisis that began in 2007. The four main themes are: management, innovation and technology in banking; efficiency and productivity; consolidation; and corporate governance issues.
From 1920s marijuana mayhem through the cocaine storm that hit Hollywood in the '70s and the heroin chic films of the '90s, Shooting Stars investigates the drug myths propagated in movies and looks at the links between censorship, public morals and the Hollywood dream machine.
