This
masterpiece of
Nobel Prize laureate Friedrich Hayek
is an eye-opener,
strongly advocating the free market principles. In this all-time
classic Hayek persuasively warns against the authoritarian utopias of
central planning and the welfare state. Fascism, communism and
socialism share these utopias. For the implementation of their plans
these authoritarian ideologies require government power over the
individual, inevitably leading to a totalitarian state. Every step away
from the free market toward planning reduces people's freedom and is a
step toward tyranny. Planning also cannot assess consumer preferences
with sufficient accuracy to efficiently co-ordinate production. In a
free market "Price" is the all-inclusive source of
information, guiding entrepreneurs to produce whatever is wanted and
directing workers wherever they are most needed. Free markets also
provide the entrepreneurial climate for a thriving economy and for
releasing the creative energy of its citizens. Free individuals in
their native endeavour to develop their talents and their eternal
pursuit of
better living conditions produce spontaneous progress.
All public interference in the economic process disturbs the market
equilibrium, distorts the optimal allocation of resources and
consequently reduces the level of wealth. Where planning replaces free
markets people do not only loose their freedom and individuality.
Resulting slow
growth also increases welfare demands causing dependence similar to
slavery. In the end people's self-reliance and self-respect is ruined,
and citizens are degraded to a means to serve the ends of the
collective mass.

What Has Government Done to Our Money?
Murray Rothbard
After presenting the
basics of money and banking theory, Rothbard traces the decline of the
dollar from the 18th century to the present, and provides lucid
critiques of central banking, New Deal monetary policy, Nixonian fiat
money, and fixed exchange rates. He also provides a blueprint for a
return to a 100 percent reserve gold standard. The book made huge
theoretical advances. He was the first to prove that the government,
and only the government, can destroy money on a mass scale, and he
showed exactly how they go about this dirty deed. But just as
importantly, it is beautifully written. He tells a thrilling story
because he loves the subject so much. The passion that Murray feels for
the topic comes through in the prose and transfers to the reader.
Readers become excited about the subject, and tell others. Rothbard
shows precisely how banks create money out of thin air and how the
central bank, backed by government power,
allows them to get away with
it. He shows how exchange rates and interest rates would work in a true
free market. When it comes to describing the end of the gold standard,
he is not content to describe the big trends. He names names and
ferrets out all the interest groups involved. Download

This
primer on
economic principles brilliantly analyzes the seen and unseen
consequences of
political and economic actions. In the words of F.A. Hayek, there is
"no other
modern book from which the intelligent layman can learn so much about
the basic
truths of economics in so short a time.

Written
in 1940 as part of his trilogy on economic systems, Ludwig von
Mises foresaw that planned economies would fail. He warns that
all forms of government intervention in business create
artificial scarcity, inflation, and price and market distortions, give
rise to economic stagnation and ultimately political instability. He
prooves that even mixed systemes through price control, credit
expansion, subsidies, welfare, corporatism create scarcity and
political instability. Particularly interesting is Mises insight into
the political consequences resulting from state regulation of the
market place.

In his
usual easy-to-read style, Von Mises explains the
very basics of sound economics. The first essay vindicates the role of
capital goods and saving. Mises explains how saving inaugurates a
process toward prosperity. By consuming less than they produce, savers
furnish resources for investment in machines and tools which make the
laborers' efforts more efficient. Higher output per unit of input can
so be achieved. The productivity gain of such investment allows for
non-inflationary wage increases which is the sole road to real
progress and prosperty for all. Public policy should therefor favour
saving and investment, rather than stimulate growht through
inflationary easy money policies. In the second essay "The
Individual in Society"
Mises pleads for a free market economy based on division of labour and
strong property rights as the sole guarantee of liberty. For Mises,
government intervention implies compulsion, exactly the opposite of
liberty. In a market economy individuals are the supreme arbiters in
matters of their needs, both material and spiritual. They alone decide
what is more and what is less valuable. Central planning is unable
to assess the
individual's priorities so that planners permanently make wrong choices
lessening
consumer value and satisfaction. The government apparatus of
coercion is not only costly and inefficient. Many also consider state
compulsion as
unbearable. Other excellent
essays in this bundle: The Economics and Politics Of My Job, The Elite Under
Capitalism,
Facts
about the
Industrial Revolution
and The Gold Problem.

- For a New Liberty:
The Libertarian Manifesto by Murray N.
Rothbard.
For A
New Liberty begins with a fast overview of the historical roots of
libertarianism: the Levelers, John Locke, classical liberalism packing
an extraordinary amount of history in a few pages. Rothbard
then defines libertarianism upon its prime axiom: that no man or group
of men shall aggress upon the person or property of anyone else. He
turns to a withering critique of the chief violator of liberty: the
State. The lengthiest
section of this book is devoted to showing how the free market
and voluntary human action can do a far more efficient and fair job of
supplying all the worthwhile services we have been told only government
can provide. He provides penetrating libertarian solutions for many of
today's most pressing problems, including pollution, poverty, war,
threats to civil liberties, the education crisis, and
others. free download

- Our
Enemy
The State
by Albert
J.Nock. Just
as the State has no money of its own, it has no power of
its own. All the power and money it has is what society gives it, plus
what it
confiscates from time to time on one pretext or another. For Nock,
"government" and "the state" are two different
things. "Government" is a legitimate, impartial vehicle for the
administration of justice, safeguarding life and liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. By contrast, "the state" represents a
corruption of democracy in which special interests groups use the
coercive
power of government in order to extract concessions and advantages not
available to other citizens. Ultimately, "the state" becomes an
instrument of oppression, allowing those special interests to compel
the rest of society to behave in ways they would not otherwise do. In
doing so the state becomes a tool in the exploitation of the class of
tax-payers by the class of tax eaters. read more here

- America's
Great
Depression by Murray
N. Rothbard. Since it
first appeared in 1963, it has been the definitive treatment
of the causes of the depression. The book remains canonical
today because the debate is still very alive. Rothbard opens with a
theoretical treatment of business cycle theory, showing how
an expansive monetary policy generates imbalances between
investment and consumption. He proceeds to examine the Fed's
policies of the 1920s, demonstrating that it was quite
inflationary even if the effects did not show up in the
price of goods and services. He showed that the stock market
correction was merely one symptom of the investment boom
that led inevitably to a bust. The
Great
Depression was not a crisis for capitalism but merely an
example of the downturn part of the business cycle, which in
turn was generated by government intervention in the
economy. Had the book appeared in the 1940s, it might have
spared the world much grief. Even so, its appearance in 1963
meant that free-market advocates had their first full-scale
treatment of this crucial subject. The damage to the
intellectual world inflicted by Keynesian- and
socialist-style treatments would be limited from that day
forward. Free pdf Download here

In this short paper, first
published in 1976, Nobel
Laureate Friedrich von Hayek suggests that inflation can be stopped by
introducing competition in currency. The notion that it is a proper
function of government to issue the national currency is false.
Citizens should be free to use and refuse any currencies they wish:
politicians and central banks would then have to limit their
quantities. Hayek
provided more detailed support for his proposal in Denationalisation of Money , published by the IEA later in
1976. Choice in Currency
combines a concise explanation of the essential theoretical issues with
an incisive analysis of key historical developments in banking, such as
the gold standard and the Bretton-Woods agreement. The monograph includes commentaries
by Ivor F. Pearce, Harold B. Rose, Douglas Jay and Sir Keith Joseph. In
addition, Sudha Shenoy
provides 'A Note on Government Monopoly of Money in Theory and
History', a fascinating examination of several case studies, including
hyperinflation in 1920s Germany.

Centesimus Annus. 100 years after "Rerum
Novarum" this encyclique of John Paul II
actualises Christian teachings on social relations. Issued in the
aftermath of the Communist defeat, to which Pope John Paul II
contributed so decisively, "Centesimus Annus" offers Christians a fresh
appreciation of private enterprise and the free market in societies
equally committed to liberty and virtue. John Paul II severely
critiques over-expansive social models as being incompatible with the
very
nature of our existence as free and responsable beings. The encyclique
speaks favourably of a vigorous civil society leaving room for
voluntary (as opposed to obligatory) solidarity. By depriving society
of its responsibility, the wellfare State leads to a loss of human
value. The inordinate increase of public agencies, where bureaucratic
ways of thinking prevail rather than concerns for serving their
clients, leads to waste.
Centesimus Annus synthesises these arguments through grounding them
upon the Christian understanding of man as a free, responsible, social,
and sinful creature, capable of knowing the truth through faith and
reason.

Principles of Economics
Carl
Menger
Probably due to his study of
Aristotle, Menger was meticulous in forming his economic principles
from observations of reality. Thus he looked at man and his nature, and
drew appropriate conclusions (much like philosopher Ayn Rand). Contrast
this to the Platonist floating abstrations of modern mainstream
economics. Note that Menger's principles are
fundamental and therefore basic. He creates an excellent foundation and
starting point for further study of economics. Unfortunately few
economists have adopted his fundamental method and approach to
economics (even the Austrians veered away). Yet this is the most
promising path an economist could take. One example of the way Menger can
spur a re-checking of premises: Menger disputed Adam Smith's assertion
that division of labor was the fundamental cause of human economic
progress- Menger announced that the most fundamental cause of human
economic progress was a growing knowledge of the causal connections
required to make goods, combined with the ability to act on that
knowledge. A fantastic observation.

The
Case Against The Fed
by Murray
Rothbard
<>Murray
Rothbard
begins this
outstanding book by calling attention to a paradox. The Federal Reserve
System enjoys virtual immunity from Congressional investigation. The
few who propose to subject the Fed to even minimal scrutiny, such as
Henry Gonzales of Texas, at once find a consensus arrayed against them
(Pp. 1 ff.). They threaten the stability of the market; since, it is
alleged, only the Fed's independence blocks the onset of uncontrollable
inflation.

An
Inquiry
into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
Adam Smith
The Wealth of
Nations was recognized as
a landmark of human thought upon its
publication in 1776. As the first scientific argument for the
principles of political economy, it is the point of departure for all
subsequent economic thought. Smith's theories of capital accumulation,
growth, and secular change, among others, continue to be influential in
modern economics.
When
Adam Smith wrote The Wealth of Nations there were no economists, for he
invented the science of Economics. Born in Kirkcaldy, Scotland,
he became professor of logic and later of
moral philosophy.
A personal friend of David Hume,
his travels through Europe and his many contacts in business and
government gave him the opportunity of making very detailed studies of
the social forces giving rise to competition, trade, and markets. It is
a remarkable achievement that, nearly 250 years on, this work, with its
idea of the "invisible hand" of economic incentives, is still one of
the essential basic texts of its
field. free

This
book concerns civil and social liberty or, the nature and limits of the
power that can legitimately be exercised by society over the
individual. Mill begins by retelling the history of struggle between
rulers and ruled and suggests that social rather than political tyranny
is the greater danger for modern, commercial nations. This social
“tyranny of the majority” (a phrase Mill takes from Tocqueville) arises
from the enforcement of rules of conduct that are both arbitrary and
strongly adhered to. The practical principle that guides the majority
“to their opinions on the regulation of human conduct, is the feeling
in each person’s mind that everybody should be required to act as he,
and those with whom he sympathizes, would like them to act.” Such
a
feeling is particularly dangerous because it is taken to be
self-justifying and self-evident. Download as PDF

George
Orwell's 1984 (free
audio book)
George Orwell's
classic was incredibly visionary. It is hardly fathomable that this
book was written in 1948. Things that we take for granted today -
cameras everywhere we go, phones being tapped, bodies being scanned for
weapons remotely - all of these things were described in graphic detail
in Orwell's book. Now that we have the Internet and people spying
on other people w/ webcams and people purposely setting up their own
webcams to let others "anonymously" watch them, you can see how this
culture can develop into the Orwellian future described in
"1984."
If you've heard such phrases as
"Big Brother," "Newspeak," and "thought crime" and wondered where these
phrases came from, they came from this incredible, vivid and disturbing
book. Winston Smith, the main character of the book is a vibrant,
thinking man hiding within the plain mindless behavior he has to go
through each day to not be considered a thought criminal. Everything is
politically correct, children defy their parents (and are encouraged by
the government to do so) and everyone pays constant allegiance to "Big
Brother" - the government that watches everyone and knows what everyone
is doing at all times - watching you shower, watching you having sex,
watching you eat, watching you go to the bathroom and ultimately
watching you die.

 Speaking
of Liberty is a collection of speeches delivered by Rockwell
over a period of ten years. The book begins with economics, and
explains why Austrian economics matters, how the Federal Reserve brings
on the business cycle, why we need private property and free
enterprise, the unrecognized glories of the capitalist economy, and why
the gold standard is still the best monetary system. Other sections
deal with war, Mises and his work, other important thinkers in the
libertarian tradition, and the culture and morality of liberty.
Written in clear
prose to reach a broad audience, Rockwell's
new book is as pro-liberty as it is critical of government. It is
rigorous enough to withstand the enemy's closest scrutiny, and
chock full of the energy and enthusiasm that will keep you
reading. The book is united
by a set of fixed principles: the corruption of
politics, the universality and immutability of the ideas of freedom,
the centrality of sound money and free enterprise, the moral imperative
of peace and trade, the importance of hope and tenacity in the struggle
for liberty, and the need for everyone to join the intellectual
fight.

Planned
Chaos by
Ludwig von Mises. Government
interventionism,
under various enticing labels, endangers voluntary society,
the market economy, and constitutionally limited government.
Mises explains the errors of those who believe that a system
based on individual freedom can be "mixed" with socialism
and collectivism. For Mises every socialist economy is doomed to fail
because there is no way to calculate prices nor how to allocate
resources. Government intervention in the economy causes distortions
and shortages which inevitably lead to chaos. The book also describes
the economic authoritarian nature of Naziism and its similarities to
Communism. Hitler believed in a government controlled economy, even if
he left the price system intact. Download

because the benefits of exploitation accrue to individuals,

Protect Yourself in the Coming Depression
! Describes the dynamics behind major events of the

is good reason that the others will too, especially the forecast for a
major stock market crash and deflationary depression. In the revised

economic and social predictions for the next five years, and provide a
personal economic survival plan that includes hundreds of investment

This
book, originally published in 1932, presents a cosmology of a mass
delusion which affects the mentality of the world. This takes place
following World War I where the Federal Reserve System, for the first
time, allowed flexible currency. This book blows away the conventional
interpretations of the crash of 1929, not only in its contents but that
this book exists at all. . He ascribes the crash to the pile of up
debt, which in turn was made possible by the Fed printing machine. This
created distorations in the production structure that cried out for
correction. So what is the answer? Let the correction happen and learn
from our mistakes. Such
is the thesis of the great
Garet Garrett. This book It was written in 1931. Two years
before FDR arrived with his destructive New Deal, ascribing the
depression to captialism and spectulation, Garrett had already
explained what was really behind the correction. It took Murray
Rothbard to resurrect these truths decades later, and when he wrote
this in 1963, it was a shock and we are still fighting an uphill battle
to explain the true causes of the crash and following depression. But
here in this wonderful book is an actual contemporary account that
spelled it out plainly for the world to see. No more can we say
that people back then could not have understood. Garrett told them. And
thanks to this new edition of this classic and important work, he is
telling us again today.

- ATLAS
SHRUGGED - novel by Ayn
Rand . The
main character, John Galt, rebels against the corrupt socialist order
and determines to "stop the motor of the world". He sees that it is the
honest, productive people who are sacrificing themselves for the
benefit of the political looters and an unappreciative public. Galt
moves around the country like a ghost and persuades the most productive
people, especially industrialists, to stop providing "the sanction of
the victim", so they drop out and disappear. The novel graphically
chronicles the disintegration and ultimate collapse of the economy from
the mounting predations of a bankrupt government and the inability of
the remaining people – bereft of skills, reason and morality – to keep
anything running. Meanwhile, the producers have hidden in "Galt's
Gulch", an enclave set in a remote valley in the Rocky Mountains. The
enclave is hidden from the outside world thanks to a ray screen that
projects the image of an inpenetrable mountaintop over the valley. They
practice a pure market economy, living and creating for their own
enjoyment, trading value for value, and respecting each other's lives
and property. Many of the Gulch inhabitants indulge their creativity by
practicing livelihoods quite different from those they pursued in the
world at large. The novel ends with the world having ground to a
halt,
with the way made clear for the producers to come back and rebuild the
world - presumably on their own terms. Rand was thrilled by
the
impressive technology of the Industrial Age and extolled the human
ingenuity and rational thought that was necessary to create powerful
machines and organize great enterprises such as railroads, steel mills
and automobile factories

 Lawrence
Reed explains how Governments and the Central Bank catastrophically
mishandled a moderate slowdown of the business cycle, and so caused a
mild recession to degenerate in the full blown 1929 financial
crisis. He explains how the excessive money supply in the late
twenties first caused the reckless stock market mania and a generalised
asset bubble. When the Fed finally decided to slow the asset inflation
they unexpectedly contracted the money supply by a massive 1/3 in six
months from August'29 till March'30. The market reacted most
vigorously. Stocks plummeted and asset prices crashed. Governments then
tried to remedy the accelerating recession by raising import duties,
causing reprisal trade bareers by trading Pners. The new tariffs
slowed down international trade, boosting unemployment. Facing
declining revenues and increasing wefare demands President Hoover
doubled income taxes in his 1932 Revenue act. In 1933, Roosevelt symply
seized peoples gold holdings, abandoned the gold standard, and devalued
the dollar with 40%....
It was in
deed not free market failure which produced the 1929
depression. It was political bungling on a grand scale, with the one policy
blunder succeeding the other: tradecrushing
tariffs, incentive-sapping taxes, mind-numbing controls on production
and competition, senseless destruction of crops, coercive labor
laws and not in the least the FED's
mismanagement. The social cost of the political blunders
was the severest crisis in history.
Stocks fell
to 10% of their pre-crash value, income fell by 28%, car
production fell by 75%, banks failed in record numbers, dragging down
hundreds of thausends of customers. 13 million unemployed in the
US causing rumors of revolt even.
The author also impressively describes how
massive public spending in Roosevelts' New Deal and the excessive dirigism in the National Recovery Act (NRA) rather
than remedying the 1929
crisis, prolongued it well
into the fourties.

The Second Great Depression
by Warren Brussee
This is
a frightening book. It
shows how massive consumer debt will trigger the next depression,
starting about the year 2007. Most of the logic used to support this
premise is based on the government's own published data. The exuberance
resulting from the overheated stock market of the 90s caused consumers
to stop saving and go into debt. Then, the dramatic drop in mortgage
rates enabled people to refinance their homes and go even further into
debt. People are no longer living on what they can afford; instead they
are living the lifestyle they think they deserve, costs be
damned! With interest rates
increasing, savings rates near zero, and debt at its maximum; many
people will be pushed over their debt limit, having homes foreclosed by
the banks or going into bankruptcy. Others will heed the warnings and
reduce spending, causing a dramatic slowing of the
economy.

America's
Financial
Reckoning Day
by Charles H.Coppes
Is the
U.S. heading for fiscal
bankruptcy? It is according to David Walker, Comptroller General for
the Government Accounting Office in a recent interview on CBS 60
Minutes (7/8/07). "I would argue that the most serious threat to the
United States is not someone hiding in a cave in Afghanistan or
Pakistan, but our own fiscal irresponsibility,” says Walker. “We suffer
from a fiscal cancer. And if we do not treat it, it could have
catastrophic consequences for our country.” Not only could our
fiscal irresponsibility have catastrophic consequences for our country
– there is a growing consensus among Wall Street economist and analysts
that we are indeed facing a financial reckoning day. For the baby-boom
generation this is a serious wake-up call that domestic and foreign
issues are converging to script the perfect financial storm –
everything from asset bubbles, trade deficits, unfunded liabilities and
derivatives exposure to an eventual bond liquidation, currency collapse
and hyperinflation. With sobering and exacting detail, this book
presents a clear case for America’s geopolitical obsolescence and the
rise of the European Union as a superpower along with China’s economic
future, the politics of oil, and the prophetic implications of war in
the Middle East.

A Demon of Our
Own Design
Markets,
Hedge Funds, and the Perils of Financial Innovation
Why
do markets keep crashing and
why are financial crises greater than ever before? As the risk manager
to some of the leading firms on Wall Street–from Morgan Stanley to
Salomon and Citigroup–and a member of some of the world’s largest hedge
funds, from Moore Capital to Ziff Brothers and FrontPoint Pners,
Rick Bookstaber has seen the ghost inside the machine and vividly shows
us a world that is even riskier than we think. The very things done to
make markets safer, have, in fact, created a world that is far more
dangerous. From the 1987 crash to Citigroup closing the Salomon Arb
unit, from staggering losses at UBS to the demise of Long-Term Capital
Management, Bookstaber gives readers a front row seat to the management
decisions made by some of the most powerful financial figures in the
world that led to catastrophe, and describes the impact of his own
activities on markets and market crashes. Much of the innovation of the
last 30 years has wreaked havoc on the markets and cost trillions of
dollars. A Demon of Our Own Design tells the story of man’s attempt to
manage market risk and what it has wrought. In the process of showing
what we have done, Bookstaber shines a light on what the future holds
for a world where capital and power have moved from Wall Street
institutions to elite and highly leveraged hedge funds

Nuclear
Energy Now
Why the Time Has
Come for the World's Most Misunderstood Energy Source
The dramatic increases
in oil and natural gas prices, the
finite supply of fossil fuels, and concerns over emissions and global
warming are forcing us to consider alternatives. In this measured and
knowledgeable book, energy experts Alan Herbst and George Hopley argue
that the time has come for the U.S. to revitalize its nuclear
generation assets in order to successfully meet growing domestic
electricity requirements and lessen our dependence on foreign sources
of energy. Nuclear Energy Now provides an informed look at the benefits
and drawbacks associated with this controversial alternative to
traditional energy sources.
It opens
with a brief overview of
commercial nuclear development in the U.S. during the past half-century
and moves on to discuss what the future may hold if new
initiatives-supported by the Energy Policy Act of 2005-gain traction.
Along the way, readers will find informed insights into why the need
for nuclear power has become so critical and how we can safely add
capacity in the coming years. Exploring all of the issues related to
developing America's nuclear energy capabilities safely and
cost-effectively, Nuclear Energy Now is a must-read for anyone
concerned about our oil dependency, the environment, and future of the
nation

Privacy
Lost
How
Technology is Endangering Your Privacy by David Holtzman
David
H. Holtzman--a master
technologist, internet pioneer, security
analyst, and former military codebreaker--presents a comprehensive
insider's exposé of the world of invasive technology, who's
using it, and how our privacy is at risk. Holtzman starts out by
categorizing privacy violations into "The 7 Sins Against Privacy" and
then goes on to explain in compelling and easy to understand language
exactly how privacy is being eroded in every aspect of our
lives. Holtzman vividly reveals actual
invasions and the dangers associated with the loss of privacy, and he
takes a realistic look at the trade offs between privacy and such vital
issues as security, rights, and economic development.

Crash
Proof
How to
Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse" by Peter D. Schiff
From
both an economic and monetary
perspective, the United States is a house of cards—impressive on the
outside, but a disaster waiting to happen beneath the surface. In a
relatively short period of time, the country has gone from the world's
largest creditor to its greatest debtor; the value of the dollar has
declined; and domestic manufacturing has given way to non-exportable
services. While these and other issues could potentially spell disaster
for your financial well-being, the situation could also present unique
opportunities—if you're prepared. Now, in Crash Proof, Schiff
provides you with an insightful examination of the structural
weaknesses underlying this impending economic meltdown, and discusses
the measures you can take to protect yourself—as well as profit—during
the difficult times that lie ahead. He also outlines a specific
three-step plan that will allow you to preserve wealth and protect the
purchasing power of the savings you have worked a lifetime to
accumulate. Peter D. Schiff does have a survival plan that can provide the protection
that readers will need in the coming years.

America's Bubble
Economy
Profit
When
It Pops" by Eric Janszen, Coauthor
While
most people ignore the warning signs, those who move
quickly and correctly can position themselves now to profit from what
will be the greatest financial opportunity of the coming decade.
Instantly engaging and crystal clear, America’s Bubble Economy:
Profit When It Pops, cuts through the denial about our
over-valued dollar, over-hyped stock market, over-priced real estate,
crushing consumer debt, tremendous trade deficit, and astronomical
government debt, upon which the US, European, and Asian economies now
depend. More importantly, America’s Bubble Economy
offers priceless, truly original insights for protecting assets and
creating tremendous wealth for ordinary people (not just the fabulously
wealthy) during the coming financial crisis. The book also illuminates
how this unique moment fits into the broader evolution of money and
society.

Bubble
Man
Alan
Greenspan and the Missing 7 Trillion Dollars" by Peter Hartcher
In
this eye-opening account, Peter Hartcher reexamines the achievements of
Alan Greenspan, the man who presided over the 1990s stock-market
bubble—perhaps the biggest speculative frenzy in history—and walked
away when it came crashing down, with his reputation apparently
unscathed. The U.S. economy is still struggling with the fallout from
Greenspan’s tenure, which includes a bubble in housing prices, a rocky
recovery, and a vast federal deficit. His mistakes live on, as does the
question of what to do about bubbles. Hartcher’s careful investigation
of the most financially expensive event in American history results in
a gripping tale of failed leadership, excess, and the bizarre politics
behind the world’s most powerful economy

Inside the House of Money lifts the
veil on the
typically opaque world of hedge funds offering a rare glimpse at how
today's highest paid money managers approach their craft. Author Steve
Drobny demystifies how these star traders make billions for their
well-heeled investors, revealing their theories, strategies and
approaches to markets. Whereas some still maintain that rationality
permeates financial markets, Drobny captures a different dimension,
showing how the unquantifiable human forces of emotion and intuition
are also at play. Along the way, readers get an inside look at
firsthand trading experiences through some of the major world financial
crises of the last few decades including tragedies such as September
11th. Whether Russian bonds, Pakistani stocks, Southeast Asian
currencies or stakes in African brewing companies, no market or
instrument is out of bounds for these elite global macro hedge fund
managers. Highly accessible and filled with in-depth expert opinion, Inside
the House of Money is a must-read for financial professionals and
anyone else interested in understanding how greed, fear, and the human
forces of emotion drive world markets.

Alternative
Energy
Resources
The
Quest
for Sustainable Energy by Paul
Kruger
Over the course of the next
fifty years, there will be a shift in the quest for sustainable energy,
including a major change in transportation from internal combustion
engines burning petroleum-derived fuels to newer technology engines
using new transportation fuels. Alternative Energy Resources examines
our options for energy sources with a focus on hydrogen as a
large-scale, secondary energy vector parallel to electricity.
As the price of petroleum
products increases, the world is scrambling to find a suitable
replacement energy source. In this comprehensive primer, Professor Paul
Kruger examines energy use throughout history and the exponential
expansion of our energy use beginning with the Industrial Revolution
through the present day. The book then analyzes the various alternative
energy sources available, including renewable energy (hydroelectric,
solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal), nuclear, and hydrogen. He
addresses each energy source's pros and cons based on our needs,
availability, and environmental impact aspects. Finally, Dr. Kruger
proposes the use of hydrogen as a fuel to sustain our energy supply
produced by appropriate technology mixtures of renewable and nuclear
energy.

The
Coming Generational Storm
The $44 Trillion Abyss - by Laurence
J. Kotlikoff
77 million baby boomers hobble into
old age. Walkers soon will outnumber strollers. How will America handle
this demographic overload? How will Social Security and Medicare
function with fewer working taxpayers to support these programs?
Under the present course that will
double the taxes paid by the next generation.
We'll see skyrocketing
tax rates, drastically lower retirement and health benefits, high
inflation, a rapidly depreciating dollar, unemployment, and political
instability when we head straight into the coming generational
storm. Politicians disguise the truth to get re-elected. This is
notheing less than fiscal
child abuse. There's also the "deficit
delusion" of the under-reported
national debt. And none of this, they say, will be solved by any of the
popularly touted remedies: cutting taxes, technological progress,
immigration, foreign investment, or the elimination of wasteful
government spending. So how can the United States avoid this
demographic/fiscal collision? Kotlikoff and Burns propose bold new
policies, including meaningful reforms of Social Security, and
Medicare. Their proposals are simple, straightforward, and geared to
attract support from both political Pies. But just in case
politicians won't take the political risk to chart a new direction,
Kotlikoff and Burns also offer guidelines for
individuals to protect their financial health and
retirement. Professor Kotlikoff was
a Senior Economist with the President's Council
of Economic Advisers. He served as consultant to the IMF, the World
Bank, the Harvard Institute for International Development.

Big
Public
Spending
means poor
Growth.
Slow
growth
results in poverty.
These are the key findings from our own research
which confirms the results of earlier academic studies
and of this
analysis which compared the growth differentials
of 30 OECD countries over 45 years
(
no less than 1000 data-pairs !!! )
|
Abstract: While the rest of the
world is booming, Europe lags behind. Europe's performance is
weak in
spite of high productivity and knowledge, high level of
development and good labour ethics. Growth is also remarkably
dissimular among regions. France, Germany and Italy are stagnating, and
so do Denmark,
Sweden and Finland. All gained less than 44%
prosperity over the last 20 years. The Irish
economy grew 4 times faster, gaining 169%
wealth over the same period. In half a generation Ireland so
metamorphosed into Europe's second
richest country creating jobs for all.
"
Big government " is the main cause of Europe's weak performance. The
oversized Public Sector lacks productivity and is undoing the entire
productivity gains of the Private Sector, eradicating all of its
outstanding performance and productiveness. Europe could improve its
overall performance by copying the Irish success formulas: Scaling down
Public Spending, downsizing bureaucracy, and shifting the tax burden
from income on consumption. This book demonstrates why the Lisbon
Agenda and decades of Keynesian inflationist demand stimulation have
failed. It devellops an alternative and workable supply-side strategy
as well as effective cures for a humane and financially sustainable
development.
This
book reads
as a step-by-step manual for economic recovery.
It is a data-reference for students and politicians interested in
growth, wellfare and in social modelling. It is a
classic for economists concerned about Big
Government, poor public sector productivity and for parents
worrying about their declining standard of living and their
children's future. |
