"An excellent collection of new perspectives for understanding and undertaking measures to apply the lessons from that terrible tragedy." - John F. Lehman, Chairman, J.F. Lehman & Company, Member, National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9-11 Commission)"So much had been written about how global geopolitical landscape was profoundly changed by 9/11. Its impact on the global economic landscape was no less profound, but has rarely been comprehensively examined. This volume remedies this neglect and provides a most thoughtful assessment of how 9/11 affected business and economics. It also provides vital clues for understanding some precursors of the current economic crisis." - Nitin Nohria, Richard P. Chapman Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School andcoauthor of In Their Time: The Greatest Business Leaders of the 20th Century
