Book Description
Inflation favors the debtor. The biggest debtor in the world is the US government and thus it is also the biggest beneficiary of inflation. If we stop and think about it, if it affects everyone equally then why bother? The answer is, it doesn’t affect everyone equally- its purpose is obviously to help out someone while someone else gets hurt. Notwithstanding which country suffers, inflation hurts the elderly, savers and anyone on a fixed income. The good guys. To hear government wonks blabber, there is no inflation. Really? Have you checked out the price of a car, meat, housing (again!), health care, education, the legal system, a dental visit, etc. Just what is the government basing a no inflation assumption on? Let's see, I can't afford to drive a car, can't afford to eat, can't go to the doctors, can't get any education and can't afford a place to live. Gee, I’m sure glad we have no inflation. Any more of this no inflation and I’ll be priced right out of my knickers. Karl Marx (1841) remarked that paper money has the same credibility that the imagined gods have. Bring paper money into a country where this use of paper is unknown, and everyone will laugh at your subjective imagination.

But tough to understand.

Downsizing - Efficiency or Greed

ISBN: 0997264667
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
The author was a college professor for many years, with experience teaching numerous management courses. Prior to that he worked as a Mckinsey/Bain/Boston Consulting Group type consultant, for IBM, several banks and securities firms, and owned a number of small businesses.

He has studied at Ecole Superieure de Commerce de Grenoble in France, Henley Management College in England, Newcastle University in England, and Horizons University in France.

Spending time with, and encouraging, his two grown children is a pleasure and priority.

Government Gone Wild
Author: Benjamin Robert Sill
Publisher: Pendragon
ISBN: 0997264640
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 331
Book Description
There is a battle raging between Wall Street and the Government to see if Wall Street can be greedier than the government can be stupid. It’s a close race. When your government encourages debt and favors investors and speculators over working people, things can’t end well. Make no mistake, it was the government and its supposed arm’s length lackey, the Federal Reserve, who made the rich richer and our country a shadow of its former self. Even though governments many times start out with good intentions, they gradually end up serving their own needs and protecting their turf. The main thrust is to get reelected and protect their power and wealth. Instead of serving the people, the people are manipulated. It seems as though the government could get some of these things right. There’s the question of Inflation, Inequality, foreign policy (Stick our nose in other peoples’ business. Creating wars, catering to the Military Industrial Complex, Immigration, spending out of control, poor educational policies, a broken welfare system, bank favoritism, and getting involved in abortion and gay rights (what’s that all about?)

Saving Normal
Author: Allen Frances, M.D.
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062229273
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
From "the most powerful psychiatrist in America" (New York Times) and "the man who wrote the book on mental illness" (Wired), a deeply fascinating and urgently important critique of the widespread medicalization of normality Anyone living a full, rich life experiences ups and downs, stresses, disappointments, sorrows, and setbacks. These challenges are a normal part of being human, and they should not be treated as psychiatric disease. However, today millions of people who are really no more than "worried well" are being diagnosed as having a mental disorder and are receiving unnecessary treatment. In Saving Normal, Allen Frances, one of the world's most influential psychiatrists, warns that mislabeling everyday problems as mental illness has shocking implications for individuals and society: stigmatizing a healthy person as mentally ill leads to unnecessary, harmful medications, the narrowing of horizons, misallocation of medical resources, and draining of the budgets of families and the nation. We also shift responsibility for our mental well-being away from our own naturally resilient and self-healing brains, which have kept us sane for hundreds of thousands of years, and into the hands of "Big Pharma," who are reaping multi-billion-dollar profits. Frances cautions that the new edition of the "bible of psychiatry," the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5), will turn our current diagnostic inflation into hyperinflation by converting millions of "normal" people into "mental patients." Alarmingly, in DSM-5, normal grief will become "Major Depressive Disorder"; the forgetting seen in old age is "Mild Neurocognitive Disorder"; temper tantrums are "Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder"; worrying about a medical illness is "Somatic Symptom Disorder"; gluttony is "Binge Eating Disorder"; and most of us will qualify for adult "Attention Deficit Disorder." What's more, all of these newly invented conditions will worsen the cruel paradox of the mental health industry: those who desperately need psychiatric help are left shamefully neglected, while the "worried well" are given the bulk of the treatment, often at their own detriment. Masterfully charting the history of psychiatric fads throughout history, Frances argues that whenever we arbitrarily label another aspect of the human condition a "disease," we further chip away at our human adaptability and diversity, dulling the full palette of what is normal and losing something fundamental of ourselves in the process. Saving Normal is a call to all of us to reclaim the full measure of our humanity.

Open Veins of Latin America
Author: Eduardo Galeano
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0853459916
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe. Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people. An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes. All readers interested in great historical, economic, political, and social writing will find a singular analytical achievement, and an overwhelming narrative that makes history speak, unforgettably. This classic is now further honored by Isabel Allende's inspiring introduction. Universally recognized as one of the most important writers of our time, Allende once again contributes her talents to literature, to political principles, and to enlightenment.
