PETER CHAPMANThe Last of the Imperious RichLehman Brothers, 1844-2008Chapman examines the history of Lehman from its humble beginnings to its dramatic exit, and paints an intimate portrait of the people who ran it, including Bobbie Lehman, who in the 1920s led the company into the world of radio, motion pictures, and air travel. Chapman shows that, despite its inglorious end, Lehman not only helped shape the face of American finance, but also American life. “The historical parallels that the author provides are often thought-provoking and il-luminating.”—The New York TimesPORTFOLIO PAPERBACK • 320 PP. • 978-1-59184-432-7 • $16.00

JOHN MICKLETHWAIT and ADR IAN WOOLDR IDGEThe Fourth RevolutionThe Global Race to Reinvent the StateA visionary argument that our current crisis in government is nothing less than the fourth radical transition in the history of the nation-state.
