Global Crises

As a student of economics I believe if you really want to have the deep insight about why Global Crisis took places, one must invest his money on the following text:

  • Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance by Nouriel Roubini (2010)
  • Faultlines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy by Raghuram Rajan (2010)
  • This Time is Different: Eight Centuries of Banking Folly by Carmon Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff (2009)
  • A Decade of Debt by Carmon Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff (2011)
These are the ultimate text to understand modern economics. A must buy for Economist, Corporate leaders and Corporate leaders in making.

How to Measure Poverty?

In a recent article, The Washington Post explains the usefulness of the Palma ratio as a measurement of inequality. The ratio is named after Gabriel Palma, who showed (http://www.networkideas.org/featart/mar2011/Palma.pdf) that in most countries the 50% of the population corresponding to the middle and upper-middle income groups (deciles 5 to 9 of a country's income distribution) tend to appropriate as a group about half the national income - approximately 50%. Therefore, the huge disparities across the world in terms of income distribution is almost exclusively a result of what happens to the top 10% and the bottom 40% of the population. In this context, Palma suggests that the ratio of the share of income appropriated by the top 10% to that of the bottom 40% may be a more meaningful and transparent indicator of inequality.
