Synopsis

A BLOOMBERG BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
WINNER - SILVER MEDAL, AXIOM BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2018

FOREWORD BY NOURIEL ROUBINI


SuperHubs is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the global financial system and the powerful personal networks through which it is run, at the centre of which sit the Elites - the SuperHubs.

Combining an insider's knowledge with principles of network science, Sandra Navidi offers a startling new perspective on how the financial system really operates.

SuperHubs reveals what happens at the exclusive, invitation-only platforms - The World Economic Forum in Davos, the meetings of the International Monetary Fund, think-tank gatherings, power lunches, charity events, and private parties. This is the most vivid portrait to date of the global elite: the bank CEOs, fund managers, billionaire financiers and politicians who, through their interlocking relationships and collective influence are transforming the future of our financial system and, for better or worse, shaping our world.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'In $uperHubs, Ms. Navidi skillfully applies network science to the global financial system and the human networks that underpin it. $uperHubs is a topical and relevant book that should be read by anyone seeking a fresh perspective on the human endeavor that is our financial system.' PROFESSOR LAWRENCE H. SUMMERS, Harvard; former US Secretary of the Treasury

'Sandra Navidi's book $uperHubs is not only a fascinating description of the power wielded by elite networks over the financial sector. It is also a meditation on the consequences of this system for the economy and the society. ... $uperHubs suggests that this ruling system's 'monoculture', its isolation from the rest of society, and its seeming unawareness of the fragility of what it has built are largely responsible for these ruptures.' PROFESSOR EDMUND S. PHELPS, Columbia University, 2006 Nobel Prize in Economics

'$uperHubs is a book written with great style, but it also contains a lot of important substance. Navidi sees the global economy as a complex, adaptive system, and situates the financial system at the very core of this economy where a concentrated number of real human beings - the 'superhubs' - exercise an unrecognized degree of economic and political power, threatening the future stability of the economy and even our democratic political systems. By identifying these systemic problems, Navidi brings us one step closer to appropriate solutions. A 'must read', and a pleasure to do so.' WILLIAM R. WHITE, Chairman of the Economic and Development Review Committee (EDRC) at the OECD

'Exceedingly illuminating professional and personal insights into the global financial system. Highly recommendable reading.' PROFESSOR JÜRGEN STARK, former member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank

'Sandra Navidi impresses with a masterful piece of both reporting and analysis.' PROFESSOR KLAUS SCHWAB, Founder and Chairman of the World Economic Forum

'How are we governed? By whom and how? These are the classic questions to which globalization and the financial markets have given a new urgency. $uperhubs provides a front row seat in the theater of fundamental change.' OLAFUR RAGNAR GRIMSSON, President of Iceland 1996-2016

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

In a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how the world's most powerful titans pull the levers of our global financial system, Sandra Navidi offers a startling new perspective on how these 'superhubs' build their powerful networks and how their decisions impact all our lives.

Learn what happens at the exclusive, invitation-only platforms - The World Economic Forum in Davos, the meetings of the International Monetary Fund, think-tank gatherings, and galas. This is the most vivid portrait to date of the global elite: the bank CEOs, fund managers, billionaire financiers, and politicians who, through their interlocking relationships and collective influence transform our increasingly fragile financial system, economy and society, resulting in a worldwide backlash.
