The Panic of 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market's Perfect Storm : "The Panic of 1907" takes a historical look at what is considered the  third worst market crash in history and defines how it relates to the financial markets in 2007, exactly 100 years later. In a detailed and well-written narrative, authors Bruner and Carr take the reader through the story of the crash, beginning with the dramatic story of Charles T. Barney's death (Barney was the deposed president of the Knickerbocker Trust Company, one of the first financial institutions to collapse, who killed himself) and ending with the establishment of the Federal Reserve System  (due to calls for government reform). The final chapter details lessons to be learned from the crash, including what the  authors call  a "potent formula for disaster";   information asymmetry; absence  of slack; cognitive biases; overreaching; shock occurs; and, an inadequacy of response.

Grace & Mercy (Widescreen) : Inspired by true events, "Grace & Mercy" is the story of two desperate sisters whose lives are forever changed by one fateful decision. By trusting the Lord would provide "a ram in the bush." In poor health and dead broke, Mercy has a plan to financially provide a good future for her young daughter. With the help of her sister Grace, she robs her former employer. A silent alarm goes off during the robbery, and the two women escape into a nearby church. They hold the police back by taking the Pastor and his staff hostage by gun point. Outside, the LAPD try to avoid another public relations disaster by keeping the hostage situation quiet and the local media away. Inside, the captive Pastor and his church staff ease a potentially dangerous situation with their good-natured teasing and spiritual guidance. At the end of the day, the church members become a new family to the anxious sisters, who have learned to trust in the Lord. But will the Lord provide His own "Grace & Mercy" for these two troubled siblings. Interactive Menus, Scene Selection. Trailers.

Tokyo Underworld: The Fast Times and Hard Life of an American Gangster in Japan by Robert Whiting, ISBN 0375724893 : "A fascinating look at some fascinating people who show how democracy advances hand in hand with crime in Japan."--Mario Puzo In this unorthodox chronicle of the rise of Japan, Inc., Robert Whiting, author of You Gotta Have Wa, gives us a fresh perspective on the economic miracle and near disaster that is modern Japan. Through the eyes of Nick Zappetti, a former GI, former black marketer, failed professional wrestler, bungling diamond thief who turned himself into "the Mafia boss of Tokyo and the king of Rappongi," we meet the players and the losers in the high-stakes game of postwar finance, politics, and criminal corruption in which he thrived. Here's the story of the Imperial Hotel diamond robbers, who attempted (and may have accomplished) the biggest heist in Tokyo's history. Here is Rikidozan, the professional wrestler who almost single-handedly revived Japanese pride, but whose own ethnicity had to be kept secret. And here is the story of the intimate relationships shared by Japan's ruling party, its financial combines, its ruthless criminal gangs, the CIA, American Big Business, a...

The Fourth Estate by Jeffrey Archer, ISBN 0061092037 : In a stunning display of storytelling reminiscent of his blockbuster Kane & Abel, Jeffrey Archer creates two extraordinary protagonists, whose life stories could have been taken from today's headlines, and pits them against each other as each strives to be the first to create a global media empire and become the most powerful man on earth. Lubji Hoch survived World War II on luck, guts, and ruthlessness. At the war's end, renamed Richard Armstrong, he buys a floundering newspaper in Berlin and deviously puts his competitors out of business. But it isn't enough. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Keith Townsend, the Oxford-educated son of a millionaire newspaper owner, takes over his family's business. His energy and brilliant strategic thinking quickly make him the leading newspaper publisher in Australia. Still, he longs to move on to the world stage. As both Armstrong and Townsend seize control of everything they see, their ambitions collide on a global scale. But suddenly they both find themselves threatened by financial disaster and enormous debt. Frantic to save his crumbling em...
