This new book by New York Times best-selling author George Gilder tackles key questions about how monetarism distorts the economy and leads to misallocation of investment. Gilder covers a variety of topics, including Milton Friedman's greatest "error", money supply and velocity, the perils of high-volume trading, Bitcoin and how it mimics gold, and why a gold standard is superior to targeting based on a basket of commodities.

Why do conservatives have such a hard time winning the economic debate in the court of public opinion? Simple, George Gilder says: Conservatives misunderstand economics almost as badly as liberals do. Republicans have been running on tax cut proposals since the era of Harding and Coolidge without seriously addressing the key problems of a global economy in decline. Enough is enough.

A month before her death on May 20, 1989, Gilda Radner entered a Los Angeles recording studio to deliver what would be her final performance - this remarkable audio autobiography, in which she reveals the inspirational story of her struggle with cancer...a private, personal battle in which the humor and humanity that has touched millions became her most powerful weapon.

George Gilder is one of the great technological visionaries, and "the man who put the 's' in telecosm" according to Telephony magazine. His long-awaited Telecosm is a bible of the new age of communications. Equal parts science story, business history, social analysis, and prediction, it is the one book you need to make sense of the titanic changes underway in our lives.

Was als harmloser Familienurlaub in der Bretagne beginnt, endet im größten Unglück ihres Lebens. Familie Reiter verliert jeglichen Halt, als ihr vierjähriger Sohn Maxi vor ihren Augen entführt wird. Die Polizei und der charismatische Jean-Marie versuchen fieberhaft das Kind zu finden. Vergeblich. Fast zehn Jahre später erscheint im Rahmen eines Schüleraustausches ein Jugendlicher, der das Herz von Monika, der Mutter des entführten Kindes, sofort berührt. Könnte dieser Franzose wirklich ihr Sohn sein?

Angie is 18 years old, and, with the help of a mini skirt, a pair of false eyelashes and a tube of pale pink lipstick, has made herself into a beauty. She's living in London in the Swinging Sixties, and knows she's in the best city in the world at the best possible time. She's got that world at her pretty, white-booted feet as she dances the night away with every handsome bloke on the booming, strobe-lit floor of the Canvas Club.

In this remarkably prescient audiobook, Gilder predicts how television will merge with other technologies and evolve into the telecomputer, a personal computer adapted for video processing and connected by fiber-optic threads to other personal computers around the world. This interactive system will change how we do business, educate our children, and spend our leisure time. It will imperil all large, centralized organizations, including broadcasting and cable networks, phone companies, government bureaucracies, and multinational corporations.

What's a nice girl like Lorna Wright doing with an East-End bad boy like Richie Clayton?The world is changing and London is swinging: it's the 1960s. But in the East End the docks are closing and life will never be the same for the families who have worked there for generations, among them the Wright family.Lorna Wright is a nice girl, but Richie Clayton is bad news: a violent thug who will stop at nothing to climb his way to the top of the East End underworld.

Hailed as "the guide to capitalism", the New York Times best seller Wealth and Poverty is one of the most influential economics books of all time and has sold more than one million copies since its first release. In this modern classic, Gilder affirms the moral superiority of free-market capitalism and explains why supply-side economics is more effective at decreasing poverty than government-regulated markets. Now, in a completely updated edition of Wealth and Poverty, Gilder compares America’s current economic challenges with its past economic problems.

Were things really better in the good old days? Gilda O'Neill's powerful exploration of the teeming underbelly that was to be found in the fog-bound streets, rat-infested slums, common lodging houses, boozers, penny gaffs, and brothels in the heart of the greatest empire that the world has ever seen brings to life the real working-class London of Victoria's reign.

Garbatella, Roma, una mite sera di primavera. Sulla soglia della più rinomata pasticceria del quartiere, una giovane studentessa si accascia, uccisa da un proiettile. È una morte inspiegabile: nessun'arma del delitto, nessun sospettato, nulla nel passato o nella vita della vittima che permetta di fare un'ipotesi, di seguire una pista. Una morte senza movente, in apparenza il delitto perfetto. Mariella De Luca è chiamata a condurre le indagini, ma l'ispettore questa volta dovrà risolvere anche qualche questione personale in sospeso.

A settembre le sere romane sono ancora calde e accoglienti, i giovani si riversano per le strade per vivere gli ultimi giorni d'estate. All'alba il risveglio ha il colore del sangue: sul lungotevere viene trovato il corpo senza vita di una ragazza, atrocemente mutilata. La fine delle vacanze si trasforma in un incubo per l'ispettore Mariella De Luca, che si trova catapultata nell'universo fragile e crudele dell'adolescenza.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is considered one of the most effective pieces of legislation the United States has ever passed. It enfranchised hundreds of thousands of voters, particularly in the American South, and drew attention to the problem of voter suppression. Yet in recent years, there has been a continuous assault on access to the ballot box in the form of stricter voter ID requirements, meritless claims of rigged elections, and baseless accusations of voter fraud.

Gilda Radner was the very first person ever hired to appear on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. She was also one of the first celebrities who talked about, and fought her cancer diagnosis in the public eye, at a time when people just didn’t talk about such things...especially women. Unbeknownst to her, that courage and honesty helped create Gilda’s Club. A place where all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action and sustained by community. Our organization creates welcoming communities of free support for everyone living with cancer – men, women, teens ...
