That's how Wendell Potter introduced himself to a Senate committee in June 2009.
He proceed to explain how insurance companies make promises they have no intention of keeping, how they flout regulations designed to protect consumers, and how they make it nearly impossible to understand information that the public needs.
Potter quit his high-paid job as head of public relations at a major insurance corporation because he could no longer abide the routine practices of the insurance industry, policies that amounted to a death sentence for thousands of Americans every year.
In Deadly Spin, Potter takes readers behind the scenes of the insurance industry to show how a huge chunk of our absurd healthcare expenditures actually bankrolls a propaganda campaign and lobbying effort focused on protecting one thing: profits.
With the unique vantage of both a whistleblower and a high-powered former insider, Potter moves beyond the healthcare crisis to show how public relations works, and how it has come to play a massive, often insidious role in our political process-and our lives.
This important and timely book tells Potter's remarkable personal story, but its larger goal is to explain how people like Potter, before his change of heart, can get the public to think and act in ways that benefit big corporations-and the Wall Street money managers who own them.

Continuous-Time Models in Corporate Finance, Banking, and Insurance-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Santiago Moreno-Bromberg
Published by Princeton University PressPublished since 2018-01-08
Continuous-Time Models in Corporate Finance synthesizes four decades of research to show how stochastic calculus can be used in corporate finance.
Combining mathematical rigor with economic intuition, Santiago Moreno-Bromberg and Jean-Charles Rochet analyze corporate decisions such as dividend distribution, the issuance of securities, and capital structure and default.
They pay particular attention to financial intermediaries, including banks and insurance companies.
The authors begin by recalling the ways that option-pricing techniques can be employed for the pricing of corporate debt and equity.
They then present the dynamic model of the trade-off between taxes and bankruptcy costs and derive implications for optimal capital structure.
The core chapter introduces the workhorse liquidity-management model—where liquidity and risk management decisions are made in order to minimize the costs of external finance.
This model is used to study corporate finance decisions and specific features of banks and insurance companies.
The book concludes by presenting the dynamic agency model, where financial frictions stem from the lack of interest alignment between a firm's manager and its financiers.
The appendix contains an overview of the main mathematical tools used throughout the book.
Requiring some familiarity with stochastic calculus methods, Continuous-Time Models in Corporate Finance will be useful for students, researchers, and professionals who want to develop dynamic models of firms' financial decisions.
