Here’s a neat site (thanks to Resourceshelf.com) from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis that will help you make sense of the Global Financial Crisis:
The Financial Crisis : a timeline of events and policy actions
Of course if you are a West Australian you can put flesh on the timeline’s bones with further research using the State Library’s business databases, including some you can access from home.
Did you know you can access a wealth of full text business newspaper and magazine articles using the State Library’s subscriptions?
At Christmas it’s great to see that not all business people are cold hearted Scrooges! From the Library’s business databases, we looked for this year’s articles on Christmas philanthropy. We were touched by the story of Larry Stewart – “Kansas City Secret Santa”.
You can look for more articles on this or other business topics - from the State Library’s website, select databases from home select Business Source Elite or A&NZ Reference Centre, get out your local public library card (Western Australians only!) and and follow the instructions to look for more stories of Christmas philanthropy.
