Go inside the research to see the global consequences of unethical banking The Next Revolution in our Credit-Driven Economy: The Advent of Financial Technology integrates market theory and practice to help investors identify growth opportunities, and to help regulators create a sustainable economic environment. Author Paul Schulte, former economic analyst with the National Security Council, draws upon his own decade-spanning research to demonstrate how unethical banking practices provide the brute force that drives political and economic crises worldwide. By unbundling how credit markets work, this authoritative guide provides deep insight into crisis avoidance and detection, successful investment climates, and the groundwork that must be in place for policy makers to build a sound basis for economic growth. Clear, succinct case studies provide examples of policy and its effects on economic stability, giving you a stronger understanding of the network of forces that determine how loan/deposit ratios behave around the world. Countries that lend more than they save consistently get into trouble, with catastrophic consequences for the rich and middle class as well as the politicians. This book shows how credit excesses bring about price collapse in stocks, currencies, and real estate, and provides direction for change in the context of global economics. <ul>
<li>Dive deep into the mechanisms underlying the credit markets</li> <li>Learn how unregulated borrowing leads to socioeconomic crises</li> <li>Examine real-world policy options through global case studies</li> <li>Discover how credit rises are best detected and avoided</li> </ul>
An economic climate in which even the smallest hiccup can have long-lasting consequences should be the ideal impetus for a close scrutiny of global banking practices and economic policy. The Next Revolution in our Credit-Driven Economy takes you behind the scenes for a new perspective, and a more informed look at where the world needs to begin changing. The second half of the book will take a look at the revolution driving financial technology. Companies in Silicon Valley and giants like Alibaba are challenging the landscape for banking. This has profound implications for policy makers, banks and for a new class of entrepreneurs who are developing software which is taking away market share from bank and challenging decades-old financial empires. The book will explore the reasons why many global banks remain flat-footed. It will go into detail about the new companies and software that are moving in the Far East and with innovations in securities, bonds, foreign exchange, retail lending and SME lending. Lastly the book will look at the strategy behind Alibaba and how it will challenge many companies from a powerful base inside China.

RACE FOR 5G SUPREMACY, THE: WHY CHINA IS SURGING, WHERE MILLENNIALS STRUGGLE, & HOW AMERICA CAN PREVAIL

About the Author\nAustin Groves grew up in a small city in upstate New York where alcoholism and addiction are rampant. Somehow by dumb luck and the support of a few relatives and friends, he created a career in technology which has allowed him to work in IoT projects with Accenture, Verizon, AT&T and Coca-Cola (Coke). By the age of 27, he implemented IoT projects in over 40 countries. He ended up in a NYSE listed company in Shanghai which dealt directly with Alibaba and JD.com. He hired a large Chinese team and built an ecommerce business from scratch. His story is an unlikely journey of a millennial traversing two worlds the US and China.\nPaul Schulte first went to China as an equity analyst with Credit Suisse in 1992. He has analyzed seven five-year plans and has conducted research on Chinese equities for over 25 years having worked with Barings, Lehman, Nomura and China Construction Bank Intl. in Hong Kong. He has also been teaching millennial graduate students on five continents since 1999. He has written three books on China's technological rise and has taught in China at Tsinghua, Fudan and Zhejiang universities. He also worked at the White House National Security Council, the House of Representatives, and the International Trade Commission. He was also an advisor to the Indonesian Minister of Finance in the 1980s.\nChina is surging in the tech race — and will continue to outperform the United States. The rising power has done exceptionally in Super Apps, bullet trains, 5G, electric vehicles, digital currency, smart cities, blockchain applications, and quantum communications in space, among others. Its payment platforms are increasingly adopted along the entire Silk Road. The genesis of this book was to discover an "Apollo Program" for the US to catch up in these areas, but we discovered a much deeper need for a social/mental health Apollo Program for millennials who are bogged down by a host of under-appreciated and intertwined issues which cause anxiety and alienation and lead to massive losses in workplace productivity. This book proposes two Apollo programs — one for tech and one for millennials — by a millennial. Strategies for cracking the highly competitive Chinese Super App ecommerce market are also revealed.

He has taught at more than nine universities on five continents and currently advises some of the largest financial institutions across the world. He has written five books. The most recent ones, published in 2019 and 2020 by World Scientific are The Race for 5G Supremacy, as well as, AI & Quantum Computing for Finance & Insurance. He is very active with the Singapore Fintech and Blockchain Associations.\nDean Sun is an Excellence in Scholarship Fellow at Zhejiang University. His "Market Algorithm Model" won him a scholarship to Imperial College. His newest work in machine learning has been recognised at the Zhejiang provincial level. He has also worked in investment banking in China.\nRoman Shemakov is a Luce Fellow, working on Smart City and Urban Technology in Taipei. His writings have been published in the Columbia Journal of History, the Harvard Classics Journal, the Tufts Journal of International Studies, the Taiwan Business Topics and more. As a Questbridge Scholar and a Frank Lyman Fellow he has conducted extensive research on urban planning, peace and security, digitization in the developing world, and telecommunication throughout Berlin, Moscow, Kyiv, Singapore, and Washington, DC.\nLong-planned advances in China — in 5G, blockchain, central bank coins, and SME superapps — have coalesced into a new world of digitized, tokenized, and tradable assets. New digital mega-projects like the Blockchain Service Network, smart cities, and new foreign exchange digital rails are animating physical assets: offices, warehouses, homes, and farms. Powered by a network of sensors, AI, and distributed trust, property has digitized wings. The resulting inflow of data from every part of the 'built' world will create new industries, uproot traditional finance, and transform cities. The global trade war is not just a re-ordering of technology: it's a re-ordering of cities. Nations which export this digital technology first will alter the digital fabric of the developing world. A digital Non-Aligned Movement is afoot! One way for the US to catch up is public-private partnerships between Silicon Valley and DC — or just 'copy' China. This book explores the many people and companies, large and small, which are blazing new trails in China's 'Internet of Everything' to transform the way we live, buy, and move.
