Описание: Here is a bracing deconstruction of the framework for understanding the world that is learned as gospel in Economics 101, regardless of its imaginary assumptions and misleading half-truths. Economism: an ideology that distorts the valid principles and tools of introductory college economics, propagated by self-styled experts, zealous lobbyists, clueless politicians, and ignorant pundits. In order to illuminate the fallacies of economism, James Kwak first offers a primer on supply and demand, market equilibrium, and social welfare: the underpinnings of most popular economic arguments. Then he provides a historical account of how economism became a prevalent mode of thought in the United States--focusing on the people who packaged Econ 101 into sound bites that were then repeated until they took on the aura of truth. He shows us how issues of moment in contemporary American society--labor markets, taxes, finance, health care, and international trade, among others--are shaped by economism, demonstrating in each case with clarity and 'lan how, because of its failure to reflect the complexities of our world, economism has had a deleterious influence on policies that affect hundreds of millions of Americans.

Описание:
Peace demands its price in blood.
Jaantzen may have brought stability to the city of Bulari, but not everyone's grateful. Allegiances are shifting sand, and he's made a miscalculation that earned him a deadly new enemy -- one who plays a viciously different game than the one Jaantzen is used to winning.
Jaantzen and his crew fight to gain the upper hand, but secrets buried in shallow graves are coming back to haunt them. And as Starla and Toshiyo edge closer to understanding the growing mystery that's been dropped in their laps, their search is awakening darker things than any of them can imagine.
Peace comes at a price, and this Pax Bulari could cost Jaantzen everyone he loves.
The Bulari Saga series is part of Jessie Kwak's Durga System universe, a fast-paced series of gangster sci-fi stories set in a far-future world where humans may have left their home planet to populate the stars, but they haven't managed to leave behind their vices. And that's very good for business.

Описание:
In recent decades, hundreds of millions of people across the world have moved from rural areas to metropolitan regions, some of them crossing national borders on the way. While urbanization and globalization are proceeding with an intensity that seems unprecedented, these are only the most recent iterations of long-term transformations—cities have for centuries served as vital points of contact between different peoples, economies, and cultures. Making Cities Global explores the intertwined development of urbanization and globalization using a historical approach that demonstrates the many forms transnationalism has taken, each shaped by the circumstances of a particular time and place. It also emphasizes that globalization has not been persistent or automatic—many people have been as likely to resist or reject outside connections as to establish or embrace them. The essays in the collection revolve around three foundational themes. The first is an emphasis on connections among the United States, East and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and South Asia. Second, contributors ground their studies of globalization in the built environments and everyday interactions of the city, because even world-spanning practices must be understood as people experience them in their neighborhoods, workplaces, stores, and streets. Last is a fundamental concern with the role powerful empires and nation-states play in the emergence of globalizing and urbanizing processes. Making Cities Global argues that combining urban history with a transnational approach leads to a richer understanding of our increasingly interconnected world. In order to achieve prosperity, peace, and sustainability in metropolitan areas in the present and into the future, we must understand their historical origins and development.

Описание:
Thala Coeur--Blackheart--is dead.
Willem Jaantzen has been waiting to hear those words for almost twenty years. But he was also hoping they'd hold more satisfaction. Because it turns out his arch enemy has died as she lived--sowing chaos and destruction--and when a mysterious package arrives on his doorstep, he realizes she's sent him one last puzzle from beyond the grave.
As Jaantzen and his crew are plunged back into a game he thought they'd left far behind, one thing becomes painfully clear: Solving Coeur's puzzle could be key to preventing the city from crumbling back into another civil war--or it could be the thing that destroys them all.
Because this secret isn't just worth killing for. It's worth coming back from the dead for.
