Are mass violence and catastrophes the only forces that can seriously decrease economic inequality? To judge by thousands of years of history, the answer is yes. Tracing the global history of inequality from the Stone Age to today, Walter Scheidel shows that inequality never dies peacefully. Inequality declines when carnage and disaster strike and increases when peace and stability return. The Great Leveler is the first book to chart the crucial role of violent shocks in reducing inequality over the full sweep of human history around the world.
Ever since humans began to farm, herd livestock, and pass on their assets to future generations, economic inequality has been a defining feature of civilization. Over thousands of years, only violent events have significantly lessened inequality. The "Four Horsemen" of leveling--mass-mobilization warfare, transformative revolutions, state collapse, and catastrophic plagues--have repeatedly destroyed the fortunes of the rich. Scheidel identifies and examines these processes, from the crises of the earliest civilizations to the cataclysmic world wars and communist revolutions of the twentieth century. Today, the violence that reduced inequality in the past seems to have diminished, and that is a good thing. But it casts serious doubt on the prospects for a more equal future.
An essential contribution to the debate about inequality, The Great Leveler provides important new insights about why inequality is so persistent--and why it is unlikely to decline anytime soon.

Many commentators, regulatory agencies and politicians have blamed the risky behaviour of both financial institutions and their actors for the collapse of the United States sub-prime mortgage market which in turn precipitated the global 'Credit Crunch'. This edited volume explores how financial crime played a significant role in the global economic crisis.
The volume features contributions from internationally renowned academic and practitioner experts in the field who pinpoint some of the most important facets of financial crime which have emerged over recent years. Key subjects include: the possibility of criminalising reckless risk-taking on the financial markets; the duty of banks to prevent money-laundering and corruption; the growth of the Shadow Banking System; and the manipulation of LIBOR by banks. The book illustrates the global nature of financial crime, and highlights the complex relationships between regulatory bodies, law enforcement agencies and private actors in the attempt to limit the harmful effect of white collar crime on the stability of the financial sector.
This book will be of great use and interest to scholars, practitioners and students within the field of financial crime, banking and finance law, and international political economy.

Описание: The Pakistan army is poised for perpetual conflict with India which it cannot win militarily or politically. What explains Pakistan`s persistent revisionism despite increasing costs and decreasing likelihood of success?

THIS BOOK WILL MAKE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE 2020 ELECTIONS
(America is on the brink of being fundamentally transformed to socialism)
President Trump can't stop talking about it. TV and talk radio are abuzz. Newly-elected radical Dems are making headlines across our country. Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls are being forced to draw a red line in the sand. Will America bow to the socialist left? Rules for Deplorables: A Primer for Fighting Radical Socialism heavily references Saul Alinsky's 1972 blockbuster book, Rules for Radicals, and explains how his blueprint for radicals has been used by the left for decades to change our values and culture in order to fundamentally transform America into a socialist state. And, they are making shockingly rapid progress.
Each chapter of the book highlights one of Alinsky's 13 tactics by using current-day news events to explain how the left has been successful for over a generation infiltrating our intelligence agencies, academia, news media, and even Hollywood. This well-researched book compares Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's dangerous socialist policies to Venezuela's devastating twenty-year path to destruction, explains the true motive behind Justice Kavanaugh's painful confirmation hearings, explores the Trump-Russia collusion "witch hunt", investigates the "Swamp's" dangerous efforts to sabotage Trump's agenda, exposes the left's intentional indoctrination of our college students into "Snowflakes", and much more.
Cathi Chamberlain wrote the book during a year-long recovery from a traumatic work-related injury from a ladder fall while inspecting roofs after Hurricane Irma in Florida in 2017. A four-time start-up business owner, former Playboy Bunny, owner of the nation's first all-female construction company, and published author of a self-help book which was featured on CNN worldwide and local news shows in Los Angeles, Cathi brings the distinct perspective of having been a California-propagandized radical liberal early in life, to a critical-thinking Conservative today. In writing the book, and commissioning 11-year-old Braylon Lee Nance (who she has mentored since birth) for its cover art, Cathi is determined to help protect the younger generation in America so they are ensured the same incredible opportunities and freedoms that America has afforded her own "Baby-Boomer" generation for so many wonderful and prosperous years. "Rules for Deplorables: A Primer for Fighting Radical Socialism" could not be a more timely book. (306 pages)

Описание:
A frontline account of how to fight corruption, from Nigeria's former finance minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
In Fighting Corruption Is Dangerous, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has written a primer for those working to root out corruption and disrupt vested interests. Drawing on her experience as Nigeria's finance minister and that of her team, she describes dangers, pitfalls, and successes in fighting corruption. She provides practical lessons learned and tells how anti-corruption advocates need to equip themselves. Okonjo-Iweala details the numerous ways in which corruption can divert resources away from development, rewarding the unscrupulous and depriving poor people of services.
Okonjo-Iweala discovered just how dangerous fighting corruption could be when her 83-year-old mother was kidnapped in 2012 by forces who objected to some of the government's efforts at reforms led by Okonjo-Iweala -- in particular a crackdown on fraudulent claims for oil subsidy payments, a huge drain on the country's finances. The kidnappers' first demand was that Okonjo-Iweala resign from her position on live television and leave the country. Okonjo-Iweala did not resign, her mother escaped, and the program of economic reforms continued. "Telling my story is risky," Okonjo-Iweala writes. "But not telling it is also dangerous." Her book ultimately leaves us with hope, showing that victories are possible in the fight against corruption.

Описание: In this detailed, brilliantly researched book, historian Lennox Honychurch tells the enthralling and previously untold story of how the Maroons of Dominica challenged the colonial powers in a heroic struggle to create a free and self-sufficient society. The Maroons, runaways who escaped slavery, formed their own community on the Caribbean island. Much has been written about the Maroons of Jamaica, little about the Maroons of Dominica. This book redresses this gap. Honychurch takes the reader deep into the forested hinterland of Dominica to explore the political, social, and economic impact of the Maroons and details their struggles and victories.
Hormones have an essential role in the body's everyday processes, like helping bones grow, digesting food, etc. They act as "chemical messengers," instructing the cells to perform specific actions and are transported around the body through the bloodstream.
The most important benefit of a hormone diet is that it takes a solid stance on improving overall health through weight loss and promoting regular exercise as well as natural, nutritious foods. Apart from that, it also focuses on adequate sleep, stress management, emotional health, and other healthy lifestyle habits that are all essential components that people should follow, whether it's a part of a diet or not. Including a water diet, it aims towards losing about twelve pounds in the 1st phase and 2 pounds a week after that.
