engineered, ts results: single-minded focus on expectations
market that will driving from crisis to crisis; how to end

rethink meaning of board governance, role of board members; 3)

thinking about capitalism, thinking about Jews have gone
hand in hand in European thought, why anti-capitalism and
anti-Semitism have frequently been linked; why Jews have
tended to be disproportionately successful in capitalist
societies; why Jews have numbered among fiercest
anti-capitalists and Communists; how ancient idea that money
was unproductive led from stigmatization of usury and the
Jews to stigmatization of finance, stigmatization of
capitalism itself (in Marxism); how traditional status of
Jews as diasporic merchant minority encouraged their
economic success, made them particularly vulnerable to
ethnic nationalism of 19th, 20th centuries.

EM-Dat: The Emergency Disaster Database
http://www.em-dat.net/
Since 1988 the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research on the
Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) has been maintaining an
Emergency Events Database - EM-DAT. EM-DAT was created with the
initial support of the WHO and the Belgian Government. The main
objective of the database is to serve the purposes of
humanitarian action at national and international levels. It is
an initiative aimed to rationalise decision making for disaster
preparedness, as well as providing an objective base for
vulnerability assessment and priority setting. For example, it
allows on to decide whether floods in a given country are more
significant in terms of its human impact than earthquakes or
whether a country is more vulnerable than another for computing
resources is. EMDAT contains essential core data on the
