REVIEWS
What do people do while living between historical periods? They talk about the past and try to imagine the future. This book by Vadim Makhov is invaluable precisely because it represents a collection of timely reflections, an attempt to give a prologue to a new historical period. The central point of the book, as I see it, is search for the meaning of social and biological evolution and for answers to questions of concern to all of us: what change will occur next, what new things will happen to us? To answer these questions, the author puts forward what I have called ‘the Makhov hypothesis’.

This is truly a big-idea book that is, at the same time, free from distorting and juggling facts. Vadim has created a unique body of knowledge about humanity, seen through the prism of his original ‘lucky clover’ theory, which can be disputed as rather ambiguous, but cannot be denied grace.

Pax Japonica
Japan, the world's third largest economy and its largest creditor nation, has been in crisis for more than two decades. Its economy has been depressed or in recession in much of that period, its banking sector in a critical state, and its public sector burdened by recurring fiscal deficits and mounting debt. Today, the hegemonic role in global trade and financial markets has been assumed by the USA and China. Yet, this book argues that a possible future Pax Japonica - one in which Japan will overcome its paralyzing debt and once again play a leading role in global finance - can become a reality. Leading international strategist Takeo Harada provides new and astounding insight into Japan's hidden role as designated controller of large - often secret - funds kept for the purpose of rescuing humankind from ultimate disasters. For this reason, Japan's role in the global economy can never be under-estimated and remains critical to its progress.

Naked Banking
We all depend on banks. They help us save and they help us spend. Yet for many they represent everything that's wrong with the world of finance. Poor service, high fees, creaking IT infrastructure and a market controlled by just a few providers have combined in recent years to create a personal banking crisis every bit as severe as the global financial crisis. How have things got so bad? Why are banks unable to balance providing good customer service with making a profit? And what can we do to protect ourselves from the tricks banks play to part us with our hard-earned money? This ground-breaking book, written by three insiders, reveals why banks do the things they do. From designing products they know will rip customers off to cutting branches they know their customers rely on, they explain how many banks' failing business models force them to make the wrong choices again and again. They make a rallying call for us all to be better informed about how everyday banking products actually work and to be wary of the many tricks and techniques product managers devise to make money.
