BREAKING NEWS: Banks Fined $1.9 Billion by Regulators for Rigging
Lending Rates (and 30 more being investigated.) UBS: Switzerland's
biggest bank, and Barclays Bank were found guilty and ordered to

Unethical behavior by the world's leading banking institutions
contributed to the $10 trillion global financial meltdown. But
there is so much more to this historic story... The International
Financial Crisis: 2007-2010: TIPPING POINTS A ground-breaking book
by Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D detailing the origins, impacts and
complexity of the International Financial Crisis. Dr Gordon
provides a unique perspective on the dynamics of this worldwide
"economic epidemic" and an innovative Tipping Point Theory
methodology for analyzing (and predicting) global events, that are
in many ways, influenced by media. Dr Philip Gordon, Ph.D was
awarded his doctorate (with honors) from the Centre d'Etudes
Diplomatiques et Strategigues (CEDS) - Paris, France and MS while
on a full-fellowship from Johns Hopkins University - Baltimore,
Maryland. Dr. Gordon has published many books and articles on
International Theory and Relations (Blue Matrix Publications) and
currently lives in Burgundy, France with his wife and two sons.
Review Comments: "The genius of the formulation of Tipping Point
Theory is that it takes explicit account of the role of social
media and the internet at facilitating bifurcations and promoting
dynamical instability. In effect, we have trimmed a few feet of
tail off the kite. As a reader, I was informed and educated as to
the factors which conspire to influence stability / instability in
complex social systems. ...the book does a good job of making sense
of past bifurcations and dynamical instabilities, namely political
instability, our perception of global climate change, and
international economic crises...My compliments on a truly
insightful Media Tipping Points." -Prof. Dr.(med.) Peter S.
Geissler, A.B., B.S., M.S., M.Phil., Ph.D. (Yale) M.A., M.Eng.,
M.S., Ph.D., M.S., M.D., M.Phil.(Cantab) "The application of the
tipping point theory qualitative ratio analysis to media and global
events, particularly the financial crisis, is a fascinating one."
-Dr. Serge Besanger, PhD Expert, International Monetary Fund
..".very interesting application (of the Tipping Point
Theory)...potential opportunity for predicting other global events,
i.e.: Egyptian crisis and perhaps, even terrorism activities." -Dr.
Adam AJLANI, PhD Professor, Sciences Politic and Political
Consultant, France TV1 ..".a mass undertaking (very motivated) of
how (we) as a society can become aware of future global events.
Excellent " -Dr. Derek EL ZEIN, PhD Professor, Avocat, Expert:
Communications ..".very innovative approach to modeling three very
complex studies for comparison. Well-suited for similar types of
analysis." -Dr. Emmanuel CAULIER, PhD Professor and Expert:
International Political Relations, Avocat "A truly fascinating book
that (teaches) a whole new way of thinking about major events and
how the media can influence them. - Being a political junkie I was
heavily into the media coverage of the global financial melt-down
both via TV and the blogosphere...I now find myself looking for the
tipping points and stickiness factors as other key events unfold.
Usually, I have trouble reading, theoretical books but this one was
an easy read and if you want supporting data then the references
are there. This could become a solid reference for those in the
media who truly want to understand what they are reporting. Highly
recommended and I look forward to Dr. Gordon's ongoing analysis of
(future) events." -Dr. Ralph Moorhouse, Ph.D. Political junkie,
