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.

A new paradigm for a way of life that is ecologically sustainable, fulfilling and just, by one of the world's leading environmentalists. Every day we are bombarded with the message that the bottom line for society and governments must be the economy and global competitiveness. But in this seminal work, David Suzuki argues that the real bottom line, and our true challenge today, is not debts and deficits but the need to find a way to live full and meaningful lives without destroying the earth's biosphere, which supports all life. Suzuki explores the physical, social and spiritual needs that should form the basis of any society that aspires to a sustainable future and a high quality of life for its citizens. "Those fundamental requirements are rooted in the Earth and its life-support systems. They are worthy of reverence and respect; that is, they are sacred."

Recounts the scandal at Columbia Pictures that began with the studio president David Begelman's forgery of a ten thousand dollar check

David Stockman, Ronald Reagan's budget director, proclaimed the Small Business Administration a "billion-dollar waste―a rathole," and set out to abolish the agency. His scathing critique was but the latest attack on an agency better known as the "Small Scandal Administration." Loans to criminals, government contracts for minority "fronts," the classification of American Motors as a small business, Whitewater, and other scandals―the Small Business Administration has lurched from one embarrassment to another. Despite the scandals and the policy failures, the SBA thrives and small business remains a sacred cow in American politics. Part of this sacredness comes from the agency's longstanding record of pioneering affirmative action. Jonathan Bean reveals that even before the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the SBA promoted African American businesses, encouraged the hiring of minorities, and monitored the employment practices of loan recipients. Under Nixon, the agency expanded racial preferences. During the Reagan administration, politicians wrapped themselves in the mantle of minority enterprise even as they denounced quotas elsewhere.Created by Congress in 1953, the SBA does not conform to traditional interpretations of interest-group democracy. Even though the public―and Congress―favors small enterprise, there has never been a unified group of small business owners requesting the government's help. Indeed, the SBA often has failed to address the real problems of "Mom and Pop" shop owners, fueling the ongoing debate about the agency's viability.
