Download or read book ECONned How Unenlightened Self Interest Undermined Democracy and Corrupted Capitalism written by Yves Smith and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2011-10-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are we in such a financial mess today? There are lots of proximate causes: over-leverage, global imbalances, bad financial technology that lead to widespread underestimation of risk. But these are all symptoms. Until we isolate and tackle fundamental causes, we will fail to extirpate the disease. ECONned is the first book to examine the unquestioned role of economists as policy-makers, and how they helped create an unmitigated economic disaster. Here, Yves Smith looks at how economists in key policy positions put doctrine before hard evidence, ignoring the deteriorating conditions and rising dangers that eventually led them, and us, off the cliff and into financial meltdown. Intelligently written for the layman, Smith takes us on a terrifying investigation of the financial realm over the last twenty-five years of misrepresentations, naive interpretations of economic conditions, rationalizations of bad outcomes, and rejection of clear signs of growing instability. In eConned, author Yves Smith reveals: --why the measures taken by the Obama Administration are mere palliatives and are unlikely to pave the way for a solid recovery --how economists have come to play a profoundly anti-democratic role in policy --how financial models and concepts that were discredited more than thirty years ago are still widely used by banks, regulators, and investors --how management and employees of major financial firms looted them, enriching themselves and leaving the mess to taxpayers --how financial regulation enabled predatory behavior by Wall Street towards investors --how economics has no theory of financial systems, yet economists fearlessly prescribe how to manage them
Download or read book Terre Haute s Notorious Red Light District written by Tim Crumrin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Hidden History of Terre Haute and Wicked Terre Haute explores the home of sin in the Sin City. Home to uproarious saloons, swindling gambling dens, and thriving brothels, Terre Haute's infamous West End was so wild the Chicago Tribunecalled it "the scene of a hundred all night carousings." Pimps, pickpockets, and conmen roamed the crowded streets where legendary Madam Edith Brown's pleasure palace was the crown jewel of brothels. Yet more than a mere den in inequity, the West End was also a community that could put bickering differences aside and pull together to help their neighbors. And it wasn't only a place for seedy enterprise, but also a place for stores, cafes, and homes. Historian Tim Crumrin presents the first complete history of this legendary area and separates myth from reality to reveal the very human side of the West End.

Download or read book American Zeitgeist written by Charles Rammelkamp and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Zeitgeist is a collection of dramatic monologues about the life and career of William Jennings Bryan, the Great Commoner, from his rise as populist hero of the Democratic Party in the 19th century to his ignominious end at the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925. Related mostly in the voice of a fictional contemporary named Jefferson Powers, a journalist, and framed by lectures on Bryan and the Progressive Era by a fictional modern-day History professor, Jefferson Lynn, the arc of this narrative serves as commentary on the American spirit and should be read as historical fiction. As the writer David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas, The Bone Clocks) notes, the popularity of historical fiction lies in its double narrative thrust. It "delivers a stereo narrative," Mitchell writes, "from one speaker comes the treble of the novel's own plot while the other speaker plays the bass of history's plot." American Zeitgeist conforms to this model. This is a page-turner that delivers history and drama in equal measure.
Download or read book DAVID PRINCE PIONEER SURGEON written by Robert Berry and published by Booklocker.com. This book was released on 2021-07-25 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Prince reached international recognition for his work in ophthalmology and plastic surgery in the nineteenth century. This biography of David Prince begins with his medical education, the influence of his mentors and graduation from the Medical College of Ohio in Cincinnati in 1840. David Prince started his private practice when he moved to Payson, Illinois to join his family who had moved there from New York as he opted for medical school. In addition to his private practice, David Prince was recruited to teach anatomy and surgery at the Illinois College Medical Department in Jacksonville for sixteen weeks each year. Later, David Prince established permanent residence in Jacksonville, established a private practice and became active in local affairs. He joined and served leadership positions in the Illinois State Medical Society. He was elected president in 1860. In his inaugural address David Prince introduced a new topic for consideration, medico-legal issues. With the start of the Civil War, he volunteered his services and was endorsed for a commission by Abraham Lincoln. David Prince served as a brigade surgeon with the rank of major for volunteer units from New York and Pennsylvania. He worked with the United States Sanitary Commission that served the medical needs of volunteer units but was under the ultimate direction of the Medical Department of the Army. He was assigned to the Peninsula Campaign led by Gen. George McClellan. David Prince kept a diary of his wartime experience which later was the basis for his post-war reports to the Sanitary Commission. His reports include the twenty-four days he spent as a volunteer prisoner/physician in the Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia. Most of David Prince's writing came after the Civil War, beginning in 1866 and continuing until a few months before his death in 1889. Prince published more than one hundred journal articles on a variety of topics. His first books were "Orthopedics: A Systematic Treatise upon the Prevention and Correction of Deformities" (1866) and "Plastics: A New Classification and A Brief Exposition of Plastic Surgery." (1868). Soon after returning home, David Prince purchased a four-story house and converted it into a private hospital - the David Prince Sanitarium. Innovations he introduced were a ventilation system for whole building and a surgical theater that was supplied with sanitized ventilation. In addition to patient care, the sanitarium also included space for research. On the passing of David Prince his two sons moved the sanitarium to Springfield, Illinois where it specialized in ophthalmology and operated for more than twenty years.

And much, much more. But George's position as the world's most influential baby is suddenly under threat, following the shocking news that he's going to have a sibling.

Download or read book True Crime Writings in Colonial India written by Shampa Roy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-08-10 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergent culture of crime writings in late 19th century colonial Bengal (India) is an interesting testimony to how literature is shaped by various material forces including the market. This book deals with true crime writings of the late 1800s published by ‘lowbrow publishing houses’ — infamous for publishing ‘sensational’ and the ‘vulgar’ literature — which had an avid bhadralok (genteel) readership. The volume focuses on select translations of true crime writings by Bakaullah and Priyanath Mukhopadhyay who worked as darogas (Detective Inspectors) in the police department in mid-late nineteenth century colonised Bengal. These published accounts of cases investigated by them are among the very first manifestations of the crime genre in India. The writings reflect their understandings of criminality and guilt, as well as negotiations with colonial law and policing. Further, through a selection of cases in which women make an appearance either as victims or offenders, (or sometimes as both,) this book sheds light on the hidden gendered experiences of the time, often missing in mainstream Bangla literature. Combining a love for suspense with critical readings of a cultural phenomenon, this book will be of much interest to scholars and researchers of comparative literature, translation studies, gender studies, literary theory, cultural studies, modern history, and lovers of crime fiction from all disciplines.
