World Insurance
Opis
"In this thoroughly researched work, 26 contributors discuss how the demands of international trade required a worldwide safety net. The contributors show how the insurance industry expanded worldwide and navigated the world wars, the intervening economic depression, the Cold War, sporadic economic nationalism, and the recession of the early 1970s. The work explores the growth of the great insurance companies, including agencies, branches, subsidiaries, and joint ventures. All world regions are covered, as are issues affecting the industry such as protectionism, inflation, and competing political ideologies. Contributors also cover the impact of recent crises: the dot-com bust in 2000, the 9/11 attack, the hurricanes, and the subprime and banking crisis of 2008. Recommended. All collections and readership levels."--CHOICE
