The Modern Historian: The US Financial Crisis of 2008
by Alon, D. M.       
(Paperback - English - 9780692590164)
The financial crisis was no doubt a recession and some would say a depression; everyone wants to sugar- coat it. Academics want to nitpick and perform magic tricks with the numbers and say it was only a recession. The reality is, no one has seen this before. It was clear, the game has changed. The old definition of what a recession was is no longer sufficient to express what happened. But yet, nothing has really changed. Proof of this can be seen in how the financial world has handled the crisis. The same old theories from the ivory tower are still in place. But for the first time, in a major way, the theories aren't working anymore and people are noticing. The ..

OUR CHOICES ARE: Adapt and change in a world that is changing, whether we like it or not, OR be forced to create a Police State to hold our anachronistic policies, practices and laws in place-And in America, today, we have chosen the latter.....and as only one pernicious example, of thousands-Ferguson is the result....To illustrate a critical area in which we need to adapt and change in a 21st Century economy: We have far more work that needs to be done in America, than we have persons to fill these jobs-And 86% of Americans believe that "Anybody wanting to work should be able to find a job"---So, why on earth in a democracy, do we have 9 million jobless America ..

Verhört: Die Befragungen Deutscher Generale Und Offiziere Durch Die Sowjetischen Geheimdienste 1945-1952
by Christoforow, Vasilij Stepanowitsch    Makarow, Vladimir Gennadjewitsch    Uhl, Matthias
(Paperback - German - 9783110416046)
Bereits in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren ver ffentlichten zahlreiche Akteure des Zweiten Weltkriegs wehrwissenschaftliche Studien und Memoiren. Dabei interessierte vor allem die Frage, warum der Krieg nicht gewonnen werden konnte. Selbstzeugnisse der Generale reduzierten ihr Handeln auf eine Befehlskette, die sie selbst entlastete und die Deutschen insgesamt von jeder Verantwortung freisprach. Die in dem vorliegenden Band versammelten Aussagen hochrangiger Milit rs stellen einen Quellenkorpus dar, der analog zu den in westlicher Internierung angefertigten Aufzeichnungennicht frei von Widerspr chen oder Ungenauigkeiten ist. Auch hier findet sich das vors tzliche V ..

The Wounded Giant: America's Armed Forces in an Age of Austerity
by O'Hanlon, Michael       
(Paperback - English - 9781594205033)
A farseeing and controversial analysis of the military America needs and the military we can afford from the director of research at Brookings. As total federal debt trends toward 100 percent of the GDP, and America wavers on the edge of another recession, Congress has responded with a plan for deficit reduction--more than two trillion dollars over ten years. But its plan emphasizes some parts of the federal budget over others. Entitlements are likely to be spared, and tax reform deferred. Defense spending, however, could be cut by as much as one trillion dollars over a decade, above and beyond savings from ending current wars. This, Michael O'Hanlon argues, i ..

Echoes from the Poisoned Well: Global Memories of Environmental Injustice
by Washington, Sylvia Hood    Goodall, Heather    Rosier, Paul
(Paperback - English - 9780739114322)
The emerging environmental justice movement has created greater awareness among scholars that communities from all over the world suffer from similar environmental inequalities. This volume takes up the challenge of linking the focussed campaigns and insights from African American campaigns for environmental justice with the perspectives of this global group of environmentally marginalized groups. The editorial team has drawn on Washington's work, on Paul Rosier's study of Native American environmentalism, and on Heather Goodall's work with Indigenous Australians to seek out wider perspectives on the relationships between memories of injustice and demands for en ..
