The New Paradigm for Financial Markets is May eBook of the Month
New book from George Soros available as an eBook exclusive through May 19
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 30 April, 2007— George Soros, the legendary financier, philanthropist and bestselling author, has written a new book on the current financial crisis that will be available as the NetLibrary eBook of the Month selection for May. Print editions of this thought-provoking new work will not be released until May 19.
In The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means, Soros explores the origins of the current financial crisis and its implications for the future. Soros, whose breadth of experience in financial markets is unrivaled, places the current crisis in the context of decades of study of how individuals and institutions handle the boom and bust cycles that now dominate global economic activity. “This is the worst financial crisis since the 1930s,” writes Soros in characterizing the scale of financial distress spreading across Wall Street and other financial centers around the world. In a concise essay that combines practical insight with philosophical depth, Soros makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the great credit crisis and its implications for our nation and the world.
Provided through the generous support of The Perseus Books Group, The New Paradigm for Financial Markets: The Credit Crisis of 2008 and What It Means will be available through more than 15,000 participating libraries May 1-31. To help libraries promote the May eBook of the Month, NetLibrary has developed a tool kit of free promotional resources that includes print-on-demand bookmarks, a sample press release and electronic support materials.
