Bankers and Bolsheviks - International Finance & the Russian Revolution

Hassan Malik

Sinopse

Following an unprecedented economic boom fed by foreign investment, the Russian Revolution triggered the worst sovereign default in history. Bankers and Bolsheviks tells the dramatic story of this boom and bust, chronicling the forgotten experiences of leading financiers of the age.Shedding critical new light on the decision making of the powerful personalities who acted as the gatekeepers of international finance, Hassan Malik narrates how they channeled foreign capital into Russia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While economists have long relied on quantitative analysis to grapple with questions relating to the drivers of cross-border capital flows, Malik adopts a historical approach, drawing on banking and government archives in four countries. The book provides rare insights into the thinking of influential figures in world finance as they sought to navigate one of the most challenging and lucrative markets of the first modern age of globalization.Bankers and Bolsheviks reveals how a complex web of factors—from government interventions to competitive dynamics and cultural influences—drove a large inflow of capital during this tumultuous period in world history. This gripping book demonstrates how the realms of finance and politics—of bankers and Bolsheviks—grew increasingly intertwined, and how investing in Russia became a political act with unforeseen repercussions.

Conscious Wealth: Money...

Brandon Hatton

CONSCIOUS WEALTH: MONEY & INVESTING & A FINANCIAL AWAKENING FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS EVERYTHING by Brandon Hatton, CAP, CRCP, is for those who wake up one day and realize they have everything they always wanted and yet discover that it is not enough. Those with unlimited financial means are, ironically, often still operating from a place of scarcity. They are unaware of the negative stories they have built up around money and are unable to differentiate between being rich (having a lot of money) and being wealthy (having money but also a positive connection with self, with others, and with the bigger world). 
Falling back on the lessons learned during his own journey, Brandon provides a clearly illustrated mindset around money and a framework around investments, both of which allows readers to focus on what matters most during their wealth creation journey. He helps others achieve not only stronger family communication and healthy personal interactions with money but also a desire and ability to impact the greater world through investments and a Conscious Wealth philosophy.
