Author Description
An incisive look at banking, the third world debt crisis, and world stability, this new book establishes both a conceptual and practical model for re-assessing the present development logic that Lombardi states, "has reached the limits of its usefulness." This book questions the present economic world order which has led to wide scale destitution among two-thirds of the world's population, and to unsustainable East-West tensions.
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS

Lombardi, drawing on his professional experience in banking and international finance, argues that the prevailing economic order has reached a point of exhaustion.
