Zero day [sound recording] / by Russinovich, Mark,author.; Heller, Johnny,narrator.(CARDINAL)532837; Macmillan Audio (Firm).(CARDINAL)344799; Recorded Books, Inc.(CARDINAL)340508;

Narrated by Johnny Heller.A technothriller for the malware and Stuxnet era- An airliner's controls abruptly fail mid-flight over the Atlantic. An oil tanker runs aground in Japan when its navigational system suddenly stops dead. Hospitals everywhere have to abandon their computer databases when patients die after being administered incorrect dosages of their medicine. In the Midwest, a nuclear power plant nearly becomes the next Chernobyl when its cooling systems malfunction. At first, these random computer failures seem like unrelated events. But Jeff Aiken, a former government analyst who quit in disgust after witnessing the gross errors that led up to 9/11, thinks otherwise. Jeff fears a more serious cyberterrorism attack targeting the United States computer infrastructure is already under way. And as other menacing computer malfunctions pop up around the world, some with deadly results, he realizes that there isn't much time if he hopes to prevent an international catastrophe. Written by a global authority on cyber security, Zero Day presents a chilling what if scenario that, in a world completely reliant on technology, is more than possible today---it's a cataclysmic disaster just waiting to happen.

Token supremacy : the art of finance, the finance of art, and the Great Crypto Crash of 2022 / by Small, Zachary,author.(CARDINAL)888734;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 299-316) and index.The new king of crypto -- Art in the tokenized economy -- Cray cray crap -- A gilded void -- Generation moonshot -- The rug pull -- Clown frowns -- Transcendental squiggle meditations -- We're all gonna die -- The escape plan -- Information-processing error -- A sleepless night.A New York Times investigative reporter wades into the murky, pixelated waters of the multibillion-dollar NFT market, a virtual casino of speculation and volatility that tests the nature of value itself. In 2021, when the gavel fell at Christie's on the sale of Mike Winkelmann's Everydays series-a compilation of 5,000 digital artworks-it made a thunderous announcement: Non-fungible tokens had arrived. The ludicrous world of CryptoKitties and Bored Apes had just produced a piece of art worth $69.3 million (at least according to the highest bidder). On that day, the traditional art market-the largest unregulated market in the world-put its stamp of approval on a very new and carnivalesque digital reality. But what did it mean for these two worlds to collide? Was it all just a money laundering scheme? And come on, what was that piece of digital flotsam really worth anyway? In Token Supremacy, Zachary Small works through these and other fascinating questions, tracing the crypto economy back to its origins in the 2008 financial crisis and the lineage of NFTs back to the first photographic negatives. Small describes jaw-dropping tales of heists, publicity stunts, and rug pulls, before zeroing in on the role of "security tokens" in the FTX scandal. Detours through art history provide insight into the myth-making tactics that drive stratospheric auction sales and help the wealthy launder their finances (and reputations) through art. And we cast an eye toward the future of NFTs-in mortgages, restaurants, securities, and loans-that could outlive cryptocurrencies, becoming a new and dangerous shadow-banking system in its own right. A wild and spellbinding tour through a world that strains belief.

In defense of public debt / by Eichengreen, Barry J.,author.(CARDINAL)159650; El-Ganainy, Asmaa,author.; Esteves, Rui,author.; Mitchener, Kris James,author.;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 267-289) and index.Debt in service of the state -- States and the limits of borrowing -- Democratization and globalization -- Caveat emptor -- Managing problem debts -- Successful consolidation -- Warfare to welfare -- Cycles of debt -- Oil and water -- Missed opportunities -- Debt to the rescue -- COVID-19."Public debts have exploded to levels unprecedented in recent history as governments responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their rise prompted apocalyptic warnings about the dangers of heavy debts - about the drag they will place on economic growth and for future generations. This book adds the other side of the equation: drawing on history, it provides a defence of public debt. It shows that the ability of governments to borrow has played a critical role in meeting emergencies, from wars and pandemics to economic and financial crises, as well as in funding essential public goods and services such as transportation, education and healthcare. In these ways, the capacity to issue debt has been integral to state building. Transactions in public debt securities have also contributed to the development of private financial markets and, through this channel, to modern economic growth. None of this is to deny that debt problems, debt crises and debt defaults occur. But these dramatic events, which attract much attention, are not the entire story. In Defence of Public Debt redresses the balance. It develops its arguments historically, recounting two millennia of public debt experience. It deploys a comprehensive database to identify the factors behind rising public debts and the circumstances under which high debts are successfully brought down. Finally, it brings the story up to date, describing the role of public debt in managing the Covid-19 pandemic and suggesting a way forward once governments, now more heavily indebted than before, finally emerge from the crisis"--
