The Ratings Game by Andrew Fight, ISBN 0471491349
What are credit rating agencies? Many people paying for ratings and ratings reports do not fully understand what they are buying and how these agencies really work. Ratings agencies wield immense power over the fate of individual corporations, countries, and whole economies, yet their workings are remarkably opaque. Many events over the past decade, such as the Asian crisis and the demise of certain financial institutions have highlighted some of the limitations of ratings agencies, and raised questions as to their accountability and the level of service they provide.
In this comprehensive account of the workings of the rating agencies, Andrew Fight explains the role played by ratings agencies, how ratings are obtained, the methodologies through which organisations are assessed and the wider consequences of these decisions.

Dancing In September
A major TV network looking for a way into the hot urban market hires their first black executive.
For George it's a great opportunity to prove he's got what it takes.
George brings in Tomasina, a writer with vision, and she in turn brings him a hit new comedy series.
Together, they manage, as their young star says, to "Keep It Real", and they soon find the excitement of working together pays off in the boardroom and the bedroom.
But when the ratings begin to slip, so does their relationship, and the distance between keeping it real and selling out gets shorter and shorter.
