Stephen Green Livres

Stephen Green - current Chairman of HSBC and ordained priest - believes above all that our lives should be lived with integrity. And more than that- these beliefs should not be left at the boardroom door. In Good Value, he argues that our businesses have a duty to society and explores how those of us who work in a profit-making workplace can combine our spiritual and ethical selves with our everyday work. Examining money markets across the globe and through the ages in a fascinating study of history, politics, religion and economics, Stephen Green shows how financial progress shouldn't mean an end to ethics at work.

Unwritten Rule calls for a radical realignment, embracing a federal approach that would accommodate devolution as the best way of bringing about a successful and diverse national life, increasing democratic control over local and national decision-making, and modernising our national political structures.

This bold and wide-ranging investigation into our concept of the self considers the role of the individual in the great world religions, and the portrayal of human self-awareness in some of the greatest works of world literature; and the distinctive contribution of Christianity to our growing understanding of the self.

Exploring the intersection of ethics and business, Stephen Green argues that it is possible to be both a principled individual and a successful business leader.

Through this analysis, Green advocates for a more ethical approach to business that can positively impact society and the planet.

Is there any such thing as a European identity? Amidst all the kaleidoscopic variety what - if anything - do 28 members of the European Union have in common? If the EU is to succeed the big states of Europe must discover and define that common identity.

The exploration of humanity's ongoing journey of self-discovery highlights the interconnectedness of our actions and their global impact. As we face unprecedented changes in the next century, the book examines the potential for collaboration between dominant worldviews, particularly those of China and America. It also delves into the implications of urbanization on individual growth and the transformative power of cultural wisdom. Through a thoughtful analysis of risks and opportunities, this work encourages reflection on the future of humanity.

Focusing on China's equity development since 1984, this book examines the policy-making and regulatory institutions established by the government. It highlights the role of public actors in shaping and controlling institutional development, providing insights into the complexities of governance and regulation in the context of China's evolving economic landscape.

Exploring the complexities of love and trust, this narrative delves into the emotional turmoil faced when a close friend questions the suitability of a partner. It challenges the protagonist to reflect on the nature of true love and the weight of friendship, prompting a journey of self-discovery and decision-making. The story invites readers to consider how external opinions can influence personal relationships and the inner conflicts that arise when loyalty and love collide.

The Euro crisis has served as a stark reminder of the fundamental importance of Germany to the larger European project. But the image of Germany as the dominant power in Europe is at odds with much of its recent history. Reluctant Meister is a wide-ranging study of Germany from the Holy Roman Empire through the Second and Third Reichs, and it asks not only how such a mature and developed culture could have descended into the barbarism of Nazism but how it then rebuilt itself within a generation to become an economic powerhouse. Perhaps most important, Stephen Green examines to what extent Germany will come to dominate its relationship with its neighbors in the European Union, and what that will mean.
