Complicit: How Greed and Collusion Made the Credit Crisis Unstoppable<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0by Mark Gilbert<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inside Cyber Warfare: Mapping the Cyber Underworld<\/strong><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0by Jeffrey Carr<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Received courtesy review copies of two books that will serve to “stretch” my knowledge base and increase my cognitive map<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mark Gilbert<\/a><\/strong> is a financial columnist and bureau chief for Bloomberg News<\/strong> in London and he has written a hard hitting deconstruction of the great credit collapse and crisis bail-out of 2008-2009. Gilbert is telling a story of breathtaking risk assumption, regulatory capture, academic hubris, central bankers as naked emperors and unrepentant banksters who have learned nothing and forgotten nothing from the crisis. My personal background in credit issues is rooted solidly in the dustily agrarian economic history of the 19th century and the painful transition from yeoman “book debt” to gold standard dollars, so I look forward to broadening my understanding of modern financial systems from reading Complicit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I will probably review Complicit <\/strong>in a cross-blog conjunction with Lexington Green<\/a><\/strong>, who also has a copy in his possession.<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Carr<\/strong> <\/a>is the CEO of GreyLogic<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and a researcher, presenter and\u00a0consultant on issues related to cybersecurity, hacking, cyberterrorism\u00a0and asymmetric conflicts in virtual domains. Carr offers a cohesive and compact look at the major problems and players in the uncertain crossroads of national security and cyberspace. Non-geeks (like myself) will appreciate Carr’s focus in Inside<\/strong> Cyber Warfare<\/strong> on the connection to the worlds of intelligence, law enforcement, international law and military operations and doctrine. As an added\u00a0bonus, the foreword is by Lewis Shepherd<\/a><\/strong>, another blogfriend and the former Senior Technology Officer of the DIA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Originally, I had wanted to review Inside Cyber Warfare<\/strong> before last\u00a0Christmas, so now that I have\u00a0the book,\u00a0I will move it to the top of my titanic reading pile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
