The Single Global CurrencyThis book explains the benefits of a Single Global Currency. This is the only book available focused on the debate of implementing a single global currency. Morrison Bonpasse explains how the creation of the Single Global Currency within a Global Monetary Union, managed by a Global Central Bank, could save the world trillions of dollars, while reducing the risk of many of the problems facing the financial markets today – such as the fluctuations in the foreign exchange markets. The demand for global currency will increase as more big businesses become international, because governments will push to protect them with from currency fluctuations. The Panic of 1907: Lessons Learned from the Market's Perfect StormThe book is about the monetary panic in the U.S. in 1907. There was a lack of monetary liquidity and trusts and bank runs happened on top of each other. People were scared. Rich people became poor. The financial crisis gave America the FDIC and the Federal Reserve. The chronicle follows one speculator's attempt to corner the copper market, which leads to panic, the failure of banks and trusts and the impending bankruptcy of New York City. In the midst of chaos, one man was able to halt the domino effect with calm, character and capital: J. Pierpont Morgan. A great book with a good bit of linkage to today’s credit crunch. Investors should take advantage of this well-written book to learn what happened then- and what could happen again! A Demon of Our Own DesignWhy do markets keep crashing and why are financial crises greater than ever before? As the risk manager to some of the leading firms on Wall Street–from Morgan Stanley to Salomon and Citigroup–and a member of some of the world’s largest hedge funds, Rick Bookstaber has seen the ghost inside the machine and vividly shows us a world that is even riskier than we think. The very things done to make markets safer, have, in fact, created a world that is far more dangerous. Bookstaber gives readers a front row seat to the management decisions made by some of the most powerful financial figures in the world that led to catastrophe, and describes the impact of his own activities on markets and market crashes. Much of the innovation of the last 30 years has wreaked havoc on the markets and cost trillions of dollars. The Speculation EconomyAmerican businesses today are obsessed with the price of their stock, and no wonder. The consequences of even a modest decrease can be so dire that some executives would rather damage their corporation's long-term health than allow quarterly returns to fall below projections. But how did this situation come about? When did the stock market become the driver of the American economy? Lawrence E. Mitchell identifies the moment in American history when finance triumphed over industry. He shows how the birth of the giant modern corporation spurred the rise of the stock market and how, by the dawn of the 1920s, the stock market left behind its business origins to become the very reason for the creation of business itself. Gold: The Once and Future MoneyGovernments and central bankers around the world today unanimously agree on the desirability of stable money, ever more so after some monetary disaster has reduced yet another economy to smoking ruins. Lewis shows how gold provides the stability needed to foster greater prosperity and productivity throughout the world. He offers an insightful look at money in all its forms, from the seventh century B.C. to the present day, explaining in straightforward layman’s terms the effects of inflation, deflation, and floating currencies along with their effect on prices, wages, taxes, and debt. He explains how the circulation of money is regulated by central banks and, in the process, demystifies the concepts of supply, demand, and the value of currency.
| What You Should Know About InflationThis book presents the Austrian theory of money in the clearest possible terms, and contrasts it with the fallacies of government management. Hazlitt takes on not only the Keynesians but also the monetarists, as well as anyone who believes that government debt accumulation and manipulation of interest rates are harmless. So this book is about far more than inflation. Hazlitt touches on a wide variety of macroeconomic topics, any area of economic policy that is related to the monetary regime, including budget and trade issues, as well has the economic history of inflation.

Freedom: America's Competitive Advantage in the Global MarketGamble argues that globalization brings far more benefits to the U.S. economy than it takes away. Gamble shows that both Europe and emerging economic powers like China and India have serious long-terms problems linked to their cultures, political structures, occasional instability, and state ownership of companies. These and other factors will eventually put a brake on the economic growth and manufacturing output of the Old World and hot emerging economies. The fundamental protections of property and free speech, a culture that promotes and rewards entrepreneurship, banking policies that make capital easily available, relative transparency in corporate accounting, universal access to education, and other elements, despite their flaws, are still more supportive of economic growth and wealth creation than can be found anywhere else.
| Exporting America: Why Corporate Greed Is Shipping American Jobs Overseas"How can our politicians call trade 'free' when year after year we sustain runaway trade deficits and the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs?" Lou Dobbs, host of the Lou Dobbs Tonight show on CNN and self-proclaimed "lifelong Republican" details why he is against the whole notion of free trade. Instead, after deftly laying out the problems, Dobbs offers sound ideas for reversing the course that he thinks will lead to losing another 14 million jobs to outsourcing. Driven Abroad: The Outsourcing Of AmericaAnyone who wants to see the real impacts of outsourcing should read this book. It leaves you thinking the real workers are never the winners, and makes you question what we are allowing to happen. The result of outsourcing is cheaper products for the consumers, which are mostly Americans – who are losing their jobs and will no longer be able to buy the products. Therefore, the products will eventually follow the jobs. Nemesis: The Last Days of the American RepublicLike ancient Rome, America is saddled with an empire that is fatally undermining its republican government. Johnson surveys the trappings of empire: the brutal war of choice in Iraq and other foreign interventions going back decades; the militarization of space; the hundreds of overseas U.S. military bases. Retribution looms, the author warns, as the American economy, dependent on a bloated military-industrial complex and foreign borrowing, staggers toward bankruptcy. Empire of DebtMany Americans have resisted the notion that their country is an imperial power. The idea seems to contradict the values of the Republic and its Founding Fathers. But in Empire of Debt, prominent financial analysts Bill Bonner and Addison Wiggin argue passionately that not only is the United States an empire, but it is also one whose end is coming soon. Day of ReckoningIn Day of Reckoning, Pat Buchanan reveals the true existential crisis of the nation and shows how President Bush's post-9/11 conversion to an ideology of 'democratism' led us to the precipice of strategic disaster abroad and savage division at home. Ideology, writes Buchanan, is a false god that seeks vainly to create a paradise on earth. While free enterprise is good, the worship of a 'free trade' that is destroying the dollar, de-industrializing America, and ending our economic independence, is cult madness.
