From Jefferson's early warnings to Roosevelt's Bretton Woods and Nixon's Camp David Shock, Shelton's Fixing the Dollar Now is rooted in the need-to-know historical foundations of today's dollar crisis. Drawing on the hard-learned lessons of the late-18th century, she first makes clear, There can be no question that our nation's Founders deliberately sought to ensure that the new government...would never be able to indulge in the same monetary fraud that had brought ruin and cynicism to the individual states. And yet, Shelton argues the story of sound money in America has been an incremental slide away from these foundations in the name of political expediency. We need to end the practice of having our elastic currency serve as the default mechanism for government fiscal irresponsibility, she writes. Easier said than done? Shelton offers five complementary approaches weighed carefully and tailored for today's window of political possibility. Ranging from a reexamination of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate to a responsible return to gold convertibility, Shelton's solutions represent a bold yet well-reasoned challenge to today's leaders in Washington.

Diamond Dollars is a fresh, provocative, insightful, and analytical look at the business of baseball. Using the win-revenue relationship as a foundation, author Vince Gennaro delves deeply to explain how a team’s level of competitiveness impacts the “value” of its players, to explore how a well-developed farm system contributes to a team’s economic value, and to discuss some recent business trends, such as team-owned regional sports television networks. In doing so, Gennaro answers a number of questions that speak to baseball’s bottom line. How does winning affect revenues for each team? What is a player’s economic value to his team? Why does a berth in the postseason have great economic value? What is the economic value of a productive farm system? Does competitive balance exist in baseball today? He also examines the differences in small-market and large-market teams, discussing how economic and revenue opportunities vary, and highlighting the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox and their methods. The book Moneyball was a breakthrough for baseball because it unveiled inefficiences in the way talent was evaluated. In a similar fashion, Diamond Dollars addresses the inefficiency in the way players are compensated and delivers an unparalleled inside look at the economics of baseball today.
