Book Review
by William A. Hayes
 Financial Darwinism: Create Value or Self-Destruct in a World of Risk by Leo Tilman. Wiley 2008.
Financial professionals are asking What next? How did we get where we are? Where are we going? What do we do about it? Leo Tilman offers a well organized and researched answer to these questions. An essential part of his answer is that we are seeing the result of powerful secular, rather than another cyclical, financial crisis. His new book offers an analytical framework and approach to cope with the Darwinian process underway in the financial services business. |
