Richard Karn: Credit and credibility (chapter 5)

By Prieur du Plessis, on August 5th, 2009 posted in: Investment, Markets, Money

I published the first four chapters of Richard Karn’s e-book, Credit and Credibility, in posts over the past few weeks. In this fascinating book, Karn, author of the Emerging Trends Report, gives his assessment of today’s financial turmoil and what he considers to be the five most pressing issues the global economy will face in the years ahead.

Chapter 5, “Passing laws, just because” is now available and offers Karn’s assessment of the anthropogenic global warming debate, pending greenhouse gas legislation, and the effects thereof on the US and OECD economies.

Click the link to access Chapter 5. (In case you missed the previous chapters, here are the links: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.)

The remaining chapters will also be posted on this site as they become available.

I am only half way through chapter 1, but it is apparent that Richard Karn’s assessment is absolutely right on the mark to the extent that I have read. I am very impressed how well he articulates all the nuances of such a large topic, yet makes it understandable to those of us who don’t have graduate degrees in finance. Excellent work!
