 Gildan Media presents Your Coach in a Box. Affordable Mind Enriching Programs. Superhubs. How the financial elite and their networks rule our world. By Sandra Naviti. Narrated by Catherine Fenton. Forward. By Nouriel Rubini. Professor of Economics in International Business, Stern School of Business. Co-Founder, Chairman and Chief Economist of Rubini Global Economics. I have known Sandra Naviti for several years and have had the pleasure of working with her in my capacity as Chairman of Rubini Global Economics, a global macroeconomic research firm. Superhubs is a natural extension of Sandra's academic background and her vast professional experience in law, investment banking, macroeconomic consulting and the media. In her capacity as an expert, insider and observer, she has gained the respect and trust of the global industry leaders she writes about and has obtained first-hand access to their international power circles. In interacting with and advising key industry players, Sandra has acquired a keen, almost intuitive understanding of how they think, communicate and operate. These fascinating encounters with the global financial and economic policy elite in combination with her knowledge of how the system operates inspired her to apply the analytical framework of network science to the world of finance and global financial policy. By doing so, she shows how networks and their nuclei, the Superhubs, drive our financial system, our economy, our economic and financial policies, and our society. Her personal anecdotes from the front lines of international finance provide important context and help familiarize readers with otherwise abstract concepts. By connecting the dots between theory and practice in an original way and underpinning them with psychological, sociological and anthropological explanations, she illuminates how human nature and systemic forces impact the course of history. While Sandra's in-depth analysis is substantiated by exhaustive research, she conveys her theories in an entertaining and user-friendly language, giving readers an intriguing insider's view of many exclusive networks.
