On the Brink

READER RECOMMENDATION

Henry M. Paulson Jr.’s 0n the Brink describes in intimate detail his tenure as secretary of the Treasury during the global financial crisis that began in August 2007. It includes a candid assessment of mistakes made, successes achieved, and lessons learned. Replete with the acronymic alphabet soup of agencies, programs, and securities, it is not an easy read, but is worth the effort.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
