Unspeakable
Truths: Is Transforming Transportation A Key To
Solving America's Economic Crisis?
Taken From: Transportation
Communications Newsletter
In his fourth book in four years, Professor Joseph
M. Giglio argues that our thinking about Transforming
Transportation in America must evolve to reflect
how the Financial Meltdown and Economic Crisis
have changed our world.
To help understand why, his book begins by reviewing
how the Current Economic Crisis came about and
what impact it's likely to have on life in America.
He provides clear, detailed explanations of the
Great Financial Meltdown of 2008, the whys and
wherefores of subjects like Oil Price Volatility,
the Crazy World of Financial Derivatives, and
the Housing and Mortgage Mess. Plus the down-and-dirty
realities of Markets in the 21st Century. Finally,
he explores some of the things we'll have to do
to Make It Big in the much changed world of the
21st Century, such as transforming our Transportation
Systems into Serious Economic Growth Generators.
The book is available on Amazon and from
the publisher, the Hudson Institute.
