Friedman and Schwartz's A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960, published in 1963, stands as one of the most influential economics books of the twentieth century. A landmark achievement, the book marshaled massive historical data and sharp analytics to support the claim that monetary policy--steady control of the money supply--matters profoundly in the management of the nation's economy, especially in navigating serious economic fluctuations. The chapter entitled "The Great Contraction, 1929-33" addressed the central economic event of the century, the Great Depression. Published as a stand-alone paperback in 1965, The Great Contraction, 1929-1933 argued that the Federal Reserve could have stemmed the severity of the Depression, but failed to exercise its role of managing the monetary system and ameliorating banking panics. The book served as a clarion call to the monetarist school of thought by emphasizing the importance of the money supply in the functioning of the economy--a concept that has com

Whether you're scraping by or rolling in it, there's no better time to understand the ascent of money.

In The Great Shame, Thomas Keneally--the bestselling, BookerPrize-winning author of Schindler's List--combines the authority ofa brilliant historian and the narrative grace of a great novelistto present a gripping account of the Irish diaspora. The nineteenth century saw Ireland lose half of its population tofamine, emigration, or deportation to penal colonies inAustralia--often for infractions as common as stealing food. Amongthe victims of this tragedy were Thomas Keneally's own forebearers,and they were his inspiration to tell the story of the Irish whostruggled and ultimately triumphed in Australia and North America.Relying on rare primary sources--including personal letters, courttran*s, ship manifests, and military documents--Keneallyoffers new and important insights into the impact of the Irish inexile. The result is a vivid saga of heroes and villains, fromGreat Famine protesters to American Civil War generals to greatorators and politicians.

What happens when advances in technologg allow mang things to be produced for more or less nothing? And what happens when those things are then made available to us for free? In his groundbreaking new book, The Long Tail author Chris Anderson considers a brave new world where the old economic certainties are being undermined by a growing flood of free goods - newspapers, DVDs, T-shirts, phones, even holiday flights. He explains why this has become possible - why fast-evolvingtechnologies, particularly the Internet, have caused production and distribution costs in many sectors to plummet to levels unthinkable even a decade ago. He shows how the flexibility provided by the online world allows producers to trade ever more creatively, offering items for free to make real or perceived gains elsewhere. He pinpoints the winners and losers in the Free universe. And he demonstrates the wags in which, as an increasing number of things become available for free, our decisions to make use of them will be determined by tw

This is a book about a handful of men with a curious claim to fame. By all the rules of schoolboy history books, they were nonentities: they commanded no armies, sent no men to their deaths, ruled no empires, took little part in history-making decisions. A few of them achieved renown, but none was ever a national hero; a few were roundly abused, but none was ever quite a national villain. Yet what they did was more decisive for history than many acts of statesmen who basked in brighter glory, often more profoundly disturbing than the shuttling of armies back and forth across frontiers, more powerful for good and bad than the edicts of kings and legislatures. It was this: they shaped and swayed men's minds. And because he who enlists a man's mind wields a power even greater than the sword or the scepter, these men shaped and swayed the world. Few of them ever lifted a finger in action; they worked, in the main, as scholars -- quietly, inconspicuously, and without much regard for what the world had to say abou

Over 6.4 billion people participate in a $36.5 trillion globaleconomy, designed and overseen by no one. How did this marvel ofself-organized complexity evolve? How is wealth created within thissystem? And how can wealth be increased for the benefit ofindividuals, businesses, and society? In The Origin of Wealth, Eric D. Beinhocker argues that modernscience provides a radical perspective on these age-old questions,with far-reaching implications. According to Beinhocker, wealthcreation is the product of a simple but profoundly powerfulevolutionary formula: differentiate, select, and amplify. In thisview, the economy is a "complex adaptive system" in which physicaltechnologies, social technologies, and business designscontinuously interact to create novel products, new ideas, andincreasing wealth. Taking readers on an entertaining journey through economichistory, from the stone-age to the modern economy, Beinhockerexplores how "complexity economics" provides provocative insightson issues rangi

"The hour of capitalism's greatest triumph," writes Hernandode Soto, "is, in the eyes of four-fifths of humanity, its hour ofcrisis." In The Mystery of Capital, the world-famous Peruvianeconomist takes up the question that, more than any other, iscentral to one of the most crucial problems the world faces today:Why do some countries succeed at capitalism while others fail?Instrong opposition to the popular view that success is determined bycultural differences, de Soto finds that it actually has everythingto do with the legal structure of property and property rights.Every developed nation in the world at one time went through thetransformation from predominantly informal, extralegal ownership toa formal, unified legal property system. In the West we'veforgotten that creating this system is also what allowed peopleeverywhere to leverage property into wealth. This persuasive bookwill revolutionize our understanding of capital and point the wayto a major transformation of the world economy.

The 2007–08 subprime financial crisis is the jumping-off point for Smick's (Johnson Smick International) examination of current threats to global prosperity. He explains that although the subprime losses are small in the context of world financial markets, a lack of transparency has diminished investor confidence, dried up financial liquidity, and threatened the very foundations of our world financial system. He says that the growth of global financial markets has made it more difficult for central banks like the U.S. Federal Reserve to intercede effectively in times of crisis. Smick compares the subprime crisis to past events like the UK's forced devaluation of the pound in 1992 and Japan's economic stagnation in the 1990s. He warns of pending dangers like an overheating of the Chinese development juggernaut and the present calls for protectionism by U.S. politicians. He favors a global financial system built on transparency and trust. Smick's role for some 30 years as an economic adviser to central banker
