Описание: Modern life can be baffling and chaotic. Is there any way of making sense of it? The answer, explains groundbreaking thinker Steven Levitt, lies in economics. Not ordinary economics, but freakonomics. It is at the heart of everything we see and do and the subjects that bedevil us daily: from parenting to crime, sport to politics, fat to cheating, fear to traffic jams. In Freakonomics Levitt turns conventional economics on its head, stripping away the jargon and calculations of the experts' to explore the riddles of everyday life and examine topics such as: how chips are more likely to kill you than murder or a terrorist attack; why sportsmen cheat and how fraud can be spotted; why violent crime can be linked not to gun laws, policing or poverty, but to abortion; why a road is more efficient when everyone travels at 20mph; how the name you give your child can give them an advantage in later life; and what really causes obesity epidemics. Ultimately, he shows us that economics is all about how people get what they want, and what makes them do it. Asking provocative and profound questions about human motivation and contemporary living and reaching some astonishing conclusions, Freakonomics will make you see the familiar world through a completely original lens.

Описание: The story explores the lives of a French 'Yeoman' farming family and their village, from the beginning of the period of unprecedented prosperity, after World War II until today, in the depths of the French countryside far from any large towns.Through a series of hilarious events the story describes the hardships of their traditional daily life punctuated by the distractions which made their lives enjoyable.The novel revolves around the 'Fournier' family who live in the fictitious village of 'Nuilly', and in particular their son who becomes a teacher of English and develops a friendship with an English family. Through the Fournier family we also witness their rustic culture embracing hard physical work, milking cows 365 days of the year in winter temperatures as low as -20 Celsius, and their love of good food and wines much of which they produce themselves.Through the visits of their English friends we receive a sympathetic outside appreciation of their lives, but also follow the story of the family's triumphs, followed by sadness, as the family's fortunes decline as a result of financially driven farm expansion followed by a business fraud.The subsequent debt impoverishes the family.However, the son Jean-Luc refuses to leave the village and understands the current demise of rural France through the changes to his own village and its surroundings and he is sustained by memories of Candice, his lost love.

Описание:
Martin Jay Levitt was a union buster who planned and executed customized anti-union campaigns at more then 250 businesses across America, from coal mines and factories to airlines and nursing homes. Levitt reached the pinnacle of his profession by demolishing friendships, shattering families, and turning worker against worker; he routinely spied on the police records, personnel files, credit histories, medical records, and family lives of union activists in efforts to discredit them.
After a twenty year career that destroyed the lives of potentially ten of thousands of people, Levitt decided to clear his conscience and expose the dirty tricks of the trade. The result was Confessions of a Union Buster, in which he lays out in agonizing detail the disgusting tactics he he employed anytime workers sought to improve their lives by organizing a union. He also spoke to auditoriums full of union workers, often beginning his speeches with the words, "I come from a very dirty business..."
Now, 28 years after the publication of Confessions, this "New Activist Edition" couldn't be more relevant as the gap between the worker and executive classes has only gotten wider, reaching epidemic proportions. A new Foreword by legendary organizer Bob Muehlenkamp, a man who fought his share of campaigns against Marty Levitt and later encouraged Levitt to write this book, outlines in shocking detail why Confessions of a Union Buster: New Activist Edition couldn't come at a better time. Also new to this edition is Muehlenkamp's "17 Elements of the Union Busting System", a perfect tool for organizers that draws from Muehlenkamp's more than forty years campaigning for workers and fighting union busters.
