Stephen Green Books

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.

Through a thoughtful analysis of risks and opportunities, this work encourages reflection on the future of humanity.

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.

Whatever the eventual outcome of the Brexit negotiations, the critical questions remain: what does the Referendum vote tell us about the sort of society we are? Why was the result a shock to so many? Did we not understand how divided we were?

»Dear Germany, liebes Deutschland, sei stolz auf dich!«, meint Lord Green. Der britische Ökonom und ehemalige Minister Stephen Green legt Deutschland auf den Seziertisch und analysiert, welche Begriffe und Ereignisse das Deutsch-Sein heute prägen: die gemeinsame Sprache, die Traditionen und historischen Erfahrungen? Ist es das Volk, die Nation, Rasse? Welchen Einfluss hat Luther, haben Kategorien wie Pflicht, Schicksal und die Rolle als Opfernation? In bester britischer Eleganz und tiefer Kenntnis deutscher Geschichte zeichnet er die reiche Kultur und die Mentalität des Landes nach und kommt zu dem Schluss: Aufgrund seiner überragenden kulturellen Tradition und seiner reichen historischen Erfahrung – im Guten wie im abgrundtief Schlechten – ist Deutschland ein besonderes Land. Und kein anderes Land ist geeigneter um Europa im 21. Jahrhundert den Weg zu zeigen. Dear Germany – ein fulminanter Essay, der uns Deutschen viel Stoff zum Nachdenken bietet!
