Written by former Tax Foundation CEO Scott Hodge, Taxocracy: What You Don't Know About Taxes and How They Rule Your Daily Life uses amusing lessons from past tax policies gone wrong to explore how the US tax code caused serious consequences, affecting how we get our health insurance, the price of a college education, what car we buy, where we bank, and, in some cases, even when we die. Taxocracy outlines economic principles for designing a tax code that doesn't rule our daily lives—a tax code that promotes economic growth, free-enterprise, and takes the politics out of tax policy.

Historia
Dai tempi delle guerre persiane, Oriente e Occidente sono fratelli coltelli, amici e nemici, sogno e incubo. "L’Oriente è l’Oriente, l’Occidente è l’Occidente: e nessuno potrà mai accordarli", dichiara Rudyard Kipling al tempo della fondazione dell’impero britannico d’India. Sulla base dei troppi malintesi generati dal loro confronto sono emersi anche "ismi" ideologici, tanto accaniti tra loro quanto ambigui: orientalismo e occidentalismo, avvolti nel dilatare delle loro contraddizioni. Già Oswald Spengler aveva decretato il "tramonto dell’Occidente".

Raggiunsero il loro obiettivo? Generarono il caos internazionale?

En tiempos de inmediatez y ruido mediático, una obra que apela directamente a la ciudadanía. En los cuatro años transcurridos desde Manual de resistencia, Pedro Sánchez ha formado el primer Gobierno de coalición de la historia reciente de España, ha liderado el país durante una pandemia, una guerra en Ucrania y sus consecuencias económicas en toda Europa, y ha lidiado con otras muchas crisis, como la erupción de un volcán en La Palma. Pese a todas las dificultades, en esta pasada legislatura se han sentado las bases de grandes transformaciones, con el medio ambiente, la lucha contra la desigualdad y la transición digital como ejes principales.

After listening to this entertaining and hugely well-informed book, you will know more about money than most people in the highest government positions today. Money explains why a return to sound money is absolutely essential if the US and other nations are ever to overcome today's problems. Stable money, Steve Forbes and Elizabeth Ames argue, is the only way to a true recovery and a stable and prosperous economy.

Historia
Stiamo lasciando volontariamente aperte le porte della nostra civiltà ai barbari, dimenticando le nostre radici greche e romane? O forse siamo noi i barbari, quando utilizziamo il nostro passato per giustificare il peggio della nostra civiltà? Ecco un piccolo "libro nero" sull’uso politico dell’antichità, che ci aiuta a comprendere cosa c’è di vivo e cosa c’è di morto nel nostro legame con i Greci e i Romani. L’insegnamento dei classici greci e latini è certo un antidoto efficace alla barbarie dei nostri tempi. Giusto?

Current debates about economic crises typically focus on the role that public debt and debt-fueled public spending play in economic growth. This illuminating and provocative work shows that it is the rapid expansion of private rather than public debt that constrains growth and sparks economic calamities like the financial crisis of 2008.

Há quinze anos que a economia de Portugal não cresce. Apesar da expansão nos anos de 1950 a 1973 e da segunda metade da década de 1980, assim como de uma evolução razoável após a intervenção da troika e antes da Covid-19, o PIB per capita estagnou desde 2005. Dado este comportamento medíocre, a economia portuguesa tem divergido face à média europeia e os indicadores sociais do país têm melhorado muito lentamente.

One of the most enduring ideas in economics is that unemployment is both unavoidable and necessary for the smooth functioning of the economy. This assumption has provided cover for the devastating social and economic costs of job insecurity. It is also false. In this book, leading expert Pavlina R. Tcherneva challenges us to imagine a world where the phantom of unemployment is banished and anyone who seeks decent, living-wage work can find it - guaranteed.

Over the last 40 years our choices have narrowed, our opportunities have shrunk, and our lives have become governed by a handful of very large and very powerful corporations. Today, practically everything we buy, everywhere we shop, and every service we secure comes from a heavily concentrated market. This is a world where four major banks control most of our money, four airlines shuttle most of us around the country, and four major cell phone providers connect most of our communications.

Unequal Gains offers a radically new understanding of the economic evolution of the United States, providing a complete picture of the uneven progress of America from colonial times to today. While other economic historians base their accounts on American wealth, Peter Lindert and Jeffrey Williamson focus instead on income - and the result is a bold reassessment of the American economic experience.

We have entered an age of disruption. Financial collapse, climate change, resource depletion, and a growing gap between rich and poor are but a few of the signs. Otto Scharmer and Katrin Kaufer ask, why do we collectively create results nobody wants? Meeting the challenges of this century requires updating our economic logic and operating system from an obsolete “ego-system” focused entirely on the well-being of oneself to an eco-system awareness that emphasizes the well-being of the whole.

When turmoil strikes world monetary and financial markets, leaders invariably call for "a new Bretton Woods" to prevent catastrophic economic disorder and defuse political conflict. The name of the remote New Hampshire town where representatives of 44 nations gathered in July 1944, in the midst of the century's second great war, has become shorthand for enlightened globalization.

Now, in her first book, she expands upon her biggest call since the financial crisis. Whitney offers a sobering vision of the next few decades, with the coastal states continuing to struggle while the central corridor (Texas to North Dakota) continues to thrive. Whitney also offers practical ideas to help the struggling parts of the country - before the fate of the states becomes irreversible.

From the close of trading on Tuesday, October 13, 1987, to the close of trading on October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("Dow") fell 769 points or 31 percent. On October 19, 1987, alone, the Dow fell by 508 points or 22.6 percent. Since the early 1920's, only the drop of 12.8 percent in the Dow on October 28, 1929 and the fall of 11.7 percent the following day, which together constituted the Crash of 1929, approached the October 19 decline in magnitude. The events of October demonstrated an unusual frailty in the markets.

As the new century unfolds, we face a host of economic and social challenges - jobs lost to "off shoring," a huge and growing number of Americans without health insurance coverage, an expanding gap between rich and poor, stagnant wages, decaying public schools, and many others. These are difficult and complex problems, but our government's strategy for dealing with them has been essentially not to deal with them at all.

E non è la prima volta che ci poniamo questa domanda: ha cominciato Dante con la ‘serva Italia’; poi d’Azeglio con gli ‘italiani da fare’; e ancora, i ‘santi, poeti e navigatori’; gli ‘italiani nuovi’ fascisti o ‘gli italiani brava gente’.

Drawing on 75 years of Gallup studies and his own perspective as the company's chairman and CEO, Jim Clifton explains why jobs are the new global currency for leaders. More than peace or money or any other good, the business, government, military, city, and village leaders who can create good jobs will own the future. The problem is that leaders don't know how to create jobs, especially in America. What they should do is recognize that the world is in a war for jobs. It seems that leadership has lost the will to win, especially in America, but this is a competition for our lives.

Using clear language and vivid examples, Varoufakis offers a series of letters to his young daughter about the economy: how it operates, where it came from, how it benefits some while impoverishing others. Taking bankers and politicians to task, he explains the historical origins of inequality among and within nations, questions the pervasive notion that everything has its price, and shows why economic instability is a chronic risk.

Dorothy A. Brown became a tax lawyer to get away from race. As a young black girl growing up in the South Bronx, she’d seen how racism limited the lives of her family and neighbors. Her law school classes offered a refreshing contrast: Tax law was about numbers, and the only color that mattered was green. But when Brown sat down to prepare tax returns for her parents, she found something strange: James and Dottie Brown, a plumber and a nurse, seemed to be paying an unusually high percentage of their income in taxes. When Brown became a law professor, she set out to understand why.
