Download or read book Price Wars written by Rupert Russell and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating, groundbreaking exposé of how commodity traders in New York and London have destabilized societies all over the world, leaving the most vulnerable at the mercy of hunger, chaos, and war. • With a new Afterword for the ebook. For Rupert Russell, the Brexit vote was only the latest shock in a decade full of them: the unstoppable war in Syria, huge migrant flows into Europe, beheadings in Iraq, children placed in cages on the U.S. border. In Price Wars, he sets out on a worldwide journey to investigate what caused the wave of chaos that consumed the world in the 2010s. Russell travels to Tunisia, Iraq, Venezuela, Ukraine, East Africa, and Central America and discovers that unrest in all these places was triggered by dramatic and mysterious swings in the price of essential commodities. Deregulation of the commodities markets means that food prices can shoot up even in years of abundant harvests, causing hunger and protest. Oil prices and real-estate values can surge even when supplies are normal, enriching and emboldening dictators. It is this instability--fueled by banks and hedge funds in faraway New York and London--that has toppled regimes and unsettled the West. Price Wars is a fascinating, original, and groundbreaking exposé of the power of the commodities markets to disrupt the world.

Book excerpt: This New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller is a collaboration between twenty bestselling mystery novelists who have joined forces to create a spellbinding story of love, betrayal, and intrigue. “Readers can’t go wrong with this juicy thriller” raves Library Journal. Pericles “Perry” Christo is a PI with a past—a former cop who lost his badge and his family when a corruption scandal left him broke and disgraced. So when wealthy Upper East Side matron Julia Drusilla summons him one cold February night, he grabs what seems to be a straightforward (and lucrative) case. The socialite is looking for her beautiful, aimless daughter, Angelina, who is about to become a very wealthy young woman. But as Christo digs deeper, he discovers there’s much more to the lovely “Angel” than meets the eye. This classic noir tale twists and turns down New York’s mean streets and along the Hamptons beaches and back roads during a bitterly cold and gray winter where nothing is as it seems and everyone has something to hide. In this inventive “serial novel” storytelling approach, each of the twenty bestselling writers brings his or her distinctive voice to a chapter of Inherit the Dead, building the tension to a shocking, explosive finale. The editor, Jonathan Santlofer, has arranged to donate any royalties in excess of editor and contributor compensation to Safe Horizon, the leading victim assistance agency in the country.

Download or read book Private Anarchy written by Paul Buchholz and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European social theorists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries tended to define modernity as a condition of heightened alienation in which traditional community is replaced by a regime of self-interested individualism and collective isolation. In Private Anarchy, Paul Buchholz develops an alternative intellectual history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, showing how a strain of German-language literature worked against this common conception of modernity. Buchholz suggests that in their experimental prose Gustav Landauer, Franz Kafka, Thomas Bernhard, and Wolfgang Hilbig each considered how the "void" of mass society could be the precondition for a new, anarchic form of community that would rest not on any assumptions of shared origins or organic unity but on an experience of extreme emptiness that blurs the boundaries of the self and enables intimacy between total strangers. This community, Buchholz argues, is created through the verbal form most closely associated with alienation and isolation: the monologue. By showing how these authors engaged with the idea of community and by relating these contributions to an extended intellectual genealogy of nihilism, Private Anarchy illustrates the distinct philosophical and sociopolitical stakes of German experimental writing in the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Author's note: I know you hate Judica. I know that means you don't want to read this. I worked hard in Displaced to make you hate her. I promise that if you will give her a chance, you'll understand her and even more importantly, you'll like her. There's a reason I sell more Judica merchandise than anything else. ;) What’s dark is not always evil. Judica trained her entire life to be ready to one day rule the Alamecha family. She was nothing less than perfect. She fought, studied, and even dated exactly as her mother directed. Only, now her mother’s gone, her sister stole her throne, and her boyfriend abandoned her. Things can’t really get any worse, or so she thinks. When Judica’s attacked by a hidden enemy, there’s only one person she can trust, the one warrior who never followed her for the wrong reasons. With Roman’s help, Judica must discover the true circumstances surrounding her mother’s attack and find justice, no matter what stands in her way. Still not sure whether you want to give Judica a chance? Check out what other reviewers have said after reading her story: “Judica’s story is my favorite in the series!” “I honestly didn’t know how Bridget would be able to redeem Judica in my eyes, but she did it.” “Of all the directions this series could have gone, this was the most surprising.” “I was on the fence about unForgiven because I really didn’t like Judica in the first book. However, I’m so glad I read it!” “Book 2 went and flipped the table on all my preconceived ideas! I loved the switch to the POV of the supposed antagonist.” “All the things we hated about Judica in Displaced are explained in unForgiven and I might like Judica more than Chancery.” “I wasn’t sure how I would feel about reading a book from Judica’s perspective. I loved it so much!” “I am so glad we got to hear her story. She’s actually my favorite character.” “Book 2 is a flawless move into the POV of Judica. So far, this series is a knock out!” Keywords: fantasy, urban fantasy, urban fantasy romance, royal fantasy, fantasy romance, royal romance, epic fantasy romance, clean ya fantasy, contemporary fantasy, ya contemporary fantasy, ya fantasy romance, teen fantasy romance, teen fantasy, teen urban fantasy, game of thrones, series starter, first in series, complete series, urban fantasy series, binge a fantasy series, books for teens, best books for teenagers, best book for my kid, clean fantasy, ya game of thrones, for fans of Victoria Aveyard, for fans of Tahereh Mafi, for fans of Sarah J.
