The World Is Curved

David Smick maintains a low profile, yet is widely recognized as one of the most perceptive financial market strategists worldwide. For over twenty years, he has collaborated with central bankers, advised top executives and investors on Wall Street, and provided expert analysis. The World Is Curved picks up where Thomas Friedman's The World Is Flat left off, offering a behind-the-scenes view of central bankers, finance ministers, and even prime ministers. Smick reveals how the current unstable climate has developed and how the mortgage crisis is just a symptom of potentially much more severe issues. He grapples with the two key questions at the forefront of everyone's mind: How bad could things really get in today's volatile economy? And what can be done about it? The World Is Curved uniquely appeals to the Wall Street, Washington, and London elite, while its engaging narrative provides Main Street readers with strategies for navigating these turbulent times.
