AuthorRachel DeLoache Williams
ISBN1982114096
My Friend Anna by Rachel DeLoache Williams is a 2019 Gallery Books publication.

Financial collapses—whether of the junk bond market, the Internet bubble, or the highly leveraged housing market—are often explained as the inevitable result of market cycles: What goes up must come down. In Liquidated, Karen Ho punctures the aura of the abstract, all-powerful market to show...
