It has been 3 years since the launch of the GlobalRisk Community site in February 2010 and now is a good time to share our best content with you, presented in the form of an Almanac.
After reaching the mark of over 14,000 members, 1000 blog posts and discussions, I’m proud to present the GlobalRisk Community Almanac containing the very best of our content.
Is our current economic crisis just an accident on the road to prosperity and was it impossible to prevent by ordinary people and professionals? Many say yes. I say no!
I believe that this is the right time to get serious about preventing the next crisis and start participating, networking, sharing and contributing to better understanding of the complex world of risk.
Selecting the material for the Almanac was a very daunting task. Unfortunately we were not able to select all articles for that would have made the e-book over 1,000 pages long.
We only selected those articles that have been placed entirely on our platform without linking to other source. Nonetheless we ended up with many hundreds of suitable pages.
The almanac is divided into chapters that present the most important topics affecting our community.
I believe that more specialized reports will follow on each of the important topics.

Boris I am delighted to see my contribution still there at the top of the list.
I am hoping to publish the book before Xmas.
The title:
Restarting Economics with New Architecture.
The new architecture is things like that new model / system for mortgage finance,as outlined in your almanac, another for government and another for commercial finance. Then I go on to replace the interest rate instrument with an accurate way to keep a grip on the money supply so that interest rates do what they are supposed to do - balance the supply with the demand. Finally I look at the architecture of currency pricing - and I strip out the input from international investment whilst still allowing it to take place via another route. That leaves the price of the currency to create a balance of trade. It also elimiates currency wars.
The theme seems to be that pricing in borrowing, in interest rates, and in currencies are all constantly being distorted - balancing something other than what they are supposed to be balancing. To correct this a new architecture is needed. The result is that prices will stop trying to impose incorrect (un)balances onto the economies of the world, some of them severe and devastating; and we will all be better off for that.
I conclude that thenceforth, after these changes have been made, everything financial will be less risky, cheaper for that reason, and that people will not have to continually alter their financial plans to avoid being robbed of their origianl plan, or destroyed accidentally in this way, nor robbed of their wealth.
great idea, and a very nice way to share the content with non risk guys we work with, Thanks!
