I published the first three chapters of Richard Karn’s e-book, Credit and Credibility, in a post a few days ago. 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 4, “The report of my death was an exaggeration“, is now available and details Karn’s contention the world has had its fill of US “financial innovation”, and the only way the US economy will recover will be through its traditional strengths in agriculture, manufacturing, invention, and hard work.

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