Books by W. Blackman

A study of Swiss financial institutions which aims to discover why Swiss banking has been so singularly successful in the face of international debt and financial crises. The book also provides a theoretical analysis of international banking, utilizing the Swiss example as a case study.

Covers the author's years growing up in early post-settlement Illinois, where he gave in to temptations such as drinking, gambling, and the lure of prostitutes before joining the army, finding God and becoming a preacher. Blackman peppers his story with the sordid details of the sinful times of his life as well as with discussions of faith and of struggling to understand his God.
