Abstract

Na de financiële crisis van 2007 twijfelt niemand nog aan de invloed en complexiteit van het Belgische bank- en beurswezen. Maar hoe werken onze kredietinstellingen? Wat zijn hun kerntaken? Hoe ziet het financiële landschap er op dit moment uit? Bank- en beurswezen in België beantwoordt deze fundamentele vragen. Dit handboek geeft een overzicht van de belangrijkste banken en financiële producten, zoals kredietkaarten en leningen. De algemene werking en structuur van de beurs worden besproken, maar ook concrete activiteiten zoals pensioensparen en de handel in aandelen. De auteurs staven deze bespreking met recente cijfers en feiten die speciaal zijn opgevraagd bij Febelfin, de Nationale Bank van België en andere financiële instanties. Bank- en beurswezen in België staat boordevol voorbeelden en is helder geschreven. Het is op maat gemaakt voor studenten en geïnteresseerde lezers die voor het eerst kennismaken met de ingewikkelde wereld van bank en beurs. (flaptekst)

Abstract

The academic literature commonly examines issues relating to bank behavior, market structure, or bank regulation by abstracting from interrelationships among these factors. From a policy perspective, however, these elements of the industrial organization of banking are inextricably linked. The goal of this book is to provide a complete overview, exposition, and evaluation of the interplay among bank behavior, market structure, and regulation. It also considers implications for a variety of public policy issues, including bank competition and risk, market discipline, antitrust issues, capital regulation, and regulatory restructuring. The book can serve as a learning tool and reference for graduate students and academics, as well as bankers and policymakers studying the industrial organization of the banking sector and interested in the impacts of banking regulations.

Abstract

Brickwork, which has a long history of successful usage in garden work, is increasingly being recognised as an excellent material for use in urban landscaping. In addition to its flexibility of scale, its suitability for both walling and paving allows continuity of appearance and harmony with nearby buildings. The wide choice of colours and textures makes it attractive for both formal and informal situations, and it has the great attraction of retaining its good appearance with minimum maintenance. However, although the general characteristics of brickwork as used in buildings are well documented and understood, there are important additional aspects to consider when it is used in landscaping. Exposure conditions are more severe and the correct choice of material, together with appropriate detailing, is important, while its application as paving, which need not be confined to pedestrian usage, calls for attention to drainage and a knowledge of bedding methods. This handbook, a revised version of a series that appeared in The Architects' Journal, gives guidance, based on internationally gathered data, on the properties, choice, and use of clay or calcium silicate brickwork for paving, freestanding and retaining walls, and other landscape features. In addition to the technical information are many photographs, taken from a wide variety of international sources, which provide a palette of ideas for the kind of design effects that can be achieved with what is perhaps the most environmentally sympathetic of all traditional building materials.

Abstract

This book analyzes the systemic and the ethical mistakes that have led to the financial crisis of 2008. It explores the middle ground between the argument that financial managers cannot be expected to take responsibility for a systemic crisis and the argument that moral failure is the one and only origin of the crisis. The book investigates the role of speculation in the formation of the crisis. It distinguishes between productive speculation for hedging and for securing market liquidity on the one hand, and unproductive and even detrimental hyper-speculation, on the other. The book argues that hyper-speculation goes far beyond the degree of speculation that is necessary for the liquidity of financial markets in a developed economy, and has thus increased the risks of the financial system and will continue to do so. This book offers an ethics of banking and an ethical economy of the financial markets to counterbalance the financial industry's purely economic approach.

Abstract

Twee jaar lang heeft Joris Luyendijk zich ondergedompeld in het hart van de financiële wereld. Juist omdat hij geen kenner was van de bankenwereld, was hij de ideale auteur om te onderzoeken wat er gebeurd is: hoe gesloten de wereld van de high finance ook is, velen wilde met hem praten om uit te leggen hoe mooi hun werk was. Hoe zwaar. Hoe interessant.En hoe gevaarlijk.Want de conclusie is even stevig als pijnlijk: de instellingen die ervoor moeten zorgen dat de economie functioneert, kunnen de wereld in de afgrond storten. En dat gebeurt allemaal met de beste bedoelingen door mensen die precies dezelfde zorgen hebben als u en ik, door mensen die de hypotheek moeten betalen en de kinderen op een goeie school wilden hebben.De scherpe blik en de onbevangen manier van vragenstellen zorgt ervoor dat Luyendijk als geen ander inzichtelijk maakt hoe we ervoor staan. And it is not pretty.Bron : http://www.bol.com

Abstract

For over 2,000 years, banks have served to facilitate the exchange of money and to provide a variety of economic and financial services. During the most recent financial collapse and subsequent recession, beginning in 2008, banks have been vilified as perpetrators of the crisis, the public distrust compounded by massive public bailouts. Nevertheless, another form of banking has also emerged, with a focus on promoting economic sustainability, investing in community, providing opportunity for the disadvantaged, and supporting social, environmental, and ethical agendas. Social Banking and Social Finance traces the emergence of the bank with a conscience  and proposes a new approach to banking in the wake of the economic crisis. Featuring innovations and initiatives in banking from Europe, Canada, and the United States, Roland Benedikter presents an alternative to traditional banking practices that are focused exclusively on profit maximization. He argues that social banking is not about changing the system, but about improving some of its core features by putting into use the "triple bottom line" principle of profit-people-planet. Important lessons can be learned by the success of social banks that may be useful for the greater task of improving the global financial system and avoiding economic crises in the future.
