An extraordinary, literary memoir from a gay white South African, coming of age at the end of apartheid in the late 1970s. Glen Retief's childhood was at once recognizably ordinary--and brutally unusual. Raised in the middle of a game preserve where his father worked, Retief's warm nuclear family was a preserve of its own, against chaotic forces just outside its borders: a childhood friend whose uncle led a death squad, while his cultured grandfather quoted Shakespeare at barbecues and abused Glen's sister in an antique-filled, tobacco-scented living room. But it was when Retief was sent to boarding school, that he was truly exposed to human cruelty and frailty. When the prefects were caught torturing younger boys, they invented "the jack bank," where underclassmen could save beatings, earn interest on their deposits, and draw on them later to atone for their supposed infractions. Retief writes movingly of the complicated emotions and politics in this punitive all-male world, and of how he navigated them, even as he began to realize that his sexuality was different than his peers'.

This is the second story for boys (aged 9/10 upwards) dealing with the adventures of Jack Banks and his friends as featured in the first book, 'Jack Banks' Discovery'. Ideally the first story should be read before the second, but this is by no means essential to enjoyment of 'Jack Banks on Trial'. In this new story Jack aged 13, meets with a series of personal trials which put his new-found Christian faith very much under strain. He is greatly helped by his friends who include Ginger who befriended him in his early days at Harlington School, Themba the muscular son of a famous black American scientist, and Mickey the comically valiant smallest boy in the school. Mickey has an even more important and dangerous assignment than before in aiding Jack and his friends to combat the sinister plans of a mad doctor. The Jack Banks novels are set in the 1960's.

As a matter of fact, the older you get, the more valuable your deposits become as you can rely on them to bring a smile to your heart and a tear of happiness to your eyes. It's also a bank where you can make a withdrawal, but it's only a carbon copy. Years later the original is still in your account for future reference! You'll surely relate to some of the withdrawals in this book, and maybe head to your own Memory Bank to verify the fact that your memories are still there!

Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' relied on the self-interest of individuals to produce good outcomes. Economists' belief in efficient markets took this idea further by assuming that all individuals are selfish. This belief underpinned financial deregulation, and the theories on incentives and performance which supported it. However, although Adam Smith argued that although individuals may be self-interested, he argued that they also have other-regarding motivations, including a desire for the approbation of others. This book argues that the trust-intensive nature of financial services makes it essential to cultivate such other-regarding motivations, and it provides proposals on how this might be done. Trustworthiness in the financial services industry was eroded by deregulation and by the changes to industry structure which followed. Incentive structures encouraged managers to disguise risky products as yielding high returns, and regulation failed to curb this risk-taking, rent-seeking behaviour. The book makes a number of proposals for reforms of governance, and of legal and regulatory arrangements, to address these issues. The proposals seek to harness values and norms that would reinforce 'other-regarding' behaviour, so that the firms and individuals in the financial services act in a more trustworthy manner. Four requirements are identified which together might secure more strongly trustworthy behaviour: the definition of obligations, the identification of responsibilities, the creation of mechanisms which encourage trustworthiness, and the holding to account of those involved in an appropriate manner. Financial reforms at present lack sufficient focus on these requirements, and the book proposes a range of further actions for specific parts of the financial industry.
