Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Untitled Document In the late 1930's, convinced that the Nazis would annihilate all Europeans who challenged their belief in Aryan supremacy, Eduard Seventer uses his influential investment bank in Amsterdam to transfer Jewish refugee funds to safety in England and America. The lightning-fast German invasion of the Netherlands in May of 1940 catches Seventer on a business trip in London, unable to return to his young wife in Amsterdam. Within days, the Germans complete their occupation of the country. The newly-arrived head of the Gestapo in Amsterdam, Heinrich Wanstumm, begins his search for enemies of the Reich. By 1942, he streamlines the deportation of Jews, and in their abandoned homes, he finds foreign bank statements for accounts which he knows the deportees will never return to claim. At the end of the war, Seventer makes a terrible discovery, and vows to bring Wanstumm to justice. The Dutch authorities also begin their search for war criminals, with Wanstumm high on their list, but Wanstumm has vanished. Over time, the leads grow cold until Wanstumm's greed causes him to make a fatal mistake. The FBI, Scotland Yard, Interpol and French and Swiss police follow different and confusing tracks which converge - just when Seventer also picks up the scent of his quarry
Download or read book Full Employment Abandoned written by William Mitchell and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by William Mitchell and Joan Muysken is both important and timely. It deals with the issue of the abandonment of full employment as an objective of economic policy in the OECD countries. It argues persuasively that macroeconomic policy has been restrictive over the recent, and not so recent past, and has produced substantial open and disguised unemployment. But the authors show how a job guarantee policy can enable workers, who would otherwise be unemployed, to earn a wage and not depend on welfare support. If such a policy is fully supported by appropriate fiscal and monetary programmes, it can create full employment with price stability, which the authors label as a Non-Accelerating-Inflation-Buffer Employment Ratio (NAIBER). This book is essential reading for any one wishing to understand how we can return to full employment as the normal state of affairs. Philip Arestis, University of Cambridge, UK This book dismantles the arguments used by policy makers to justify the abandonment of full employment as a valid goal of national governments. Bill Mitchell and Joan Muysken trace the theoretical analysis of the nature and causes of unemployment over the last 150 years and argue that the shift from involuntary to natural rate conceptions of unemployment since the 1960s has driven an ideological backlash against Keynesian policy interventions. The authors contend that neo-liberal governments now consider unemployment to be an individual problem rather than a reflection of systemic policy failure and that they are content to use unemployment as a policy instrument to control inflation and coerce the unemployed with work tests and compliance programmes rather than provide sufficient employment. They present a comprehensive theoretical and empirical critique of this policy approach, with a refreshing new framework for understanding modern monetary economies. The authors show that the reinstatement of full employment with price stability is a viable policy goal that can be achieved by activist fiscal policy through the introduction of a Job Guarantee. Full Employment Abandoned will appeal to graduate and postgraduate students and researchers of economics and politics with an interest in macroeconomic policy and the labour market, particularly unemployment and neo-liberal policy frameworks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge of Hegemony explains how international forces subtly influence foreign, economic, and security policies of declining world powers. Using detail-rich case studies, this sweeping study integrates domestic and systemic policy to explain these countries' grand strategies. The book concludes with a discussion of the implications for the future of American foreign policy. "His conceptually rigorous and tightly reasoned study . . . reminds us that power is never value neutral but organizes commercial systems in liberal or imperial terms." ---Perspectives on Politics "Lobell's book is tightly written, nicely argued and thoroughly researched to a fault. He seems to delight in historical detail. The complexity of his approach is refreshing." ---International Affairs "The Challenge of Hegemony is a pleasure to read. It is both theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich." ---International Studies Review "The Challenge of Hegemony offers a compelling reinterpretation of key historical cases and provides wise guidance as to how the United States should wield its power today." --Charles A. Kupchan, Council on Foreign Relations "Lobell demonstrates clearly how the international environment confronting great powers interacts with their domestic political coalitions to produce different grand strategies. Through a masterful sweep of history, Lobell shows us the alternative trajectories before the United States today." --David A. Lake, University of California, San Diego
