In the years following the Glorious Revolution, independent slave traders challenged the charter of the Royal African Company by asserting their natural rights as Britons to trade freely in enslaved Africans. In this comprehensive history of the rise and fall of the RAC, William A. Pettigrew grounds the transatlantic slave trade in politics, not economic forces, analyzing the ideological arguments of the RAC and its opponents in Parliament and in public debate. Ultimately, Pettigrew powerfully reasons that freedom became the rallying cry for those who wished to participate in the slave trade and therefore bolstered the expansion of the largest intercontinental forced migration in history.
Unlike previous histories of the RAC, Pettigrew’s study pursues the Company’s story beyond the trade’s complete deregulation in 1712 to its demise in 1752. Opening the trade led to its escalation, which provided a reliable supply of enslaved Africans to the mainland American colonies, thus playing a critical part in entrenching African slavery as the colonies’ preferred solution to the American problem of labor supply.

THIS IS THE BOOK THAT THE CREDIT-CARD COMPANIES DON’T WANT YOU TO READ!!!
So, you may be looking for a book on such a subject because you amassed a certain amount of debt, perhaps fallen behind in some payments, or even considered bankruptcy. Sometimes debt isn’t even a result of overspending but just bad life circumstances such as a death or divorce of someone that helped us live to a certain standard. There is nothing to be ashamed of or even worried about.
Using the strategies in this book, you can pay off your debts in the least amount of time and live free again.
Imagine instead of paying everything off in five to seven years, you’re able to do this in two. Can you wait that long to be completely debt free?
The strategies used in this book are based on time-tested equations that will significantly reduce the time it will take to pay off your credit debt, saving you thousands of dollars. Additionally, Gerry Marrs will teach you some guerrilla tactics that will literally cut your credit card balances in half, and free you from the chains of debt bondage. The plan in this book is simple to implement, and flexible according to your lifestyle needs.
This book will show you some quick-payoff principles as well as how to save more, spend less, and perhaps even make some money. Gerry Marrs calls this principle the three pillars of financial success; save, budget, and earn. When you can balance all three of these functions of personal finance, you can achieve great wealth and prosperity.

A trip to the underworld of debt collection, where bankers team up with ex-burglars and few rules apply
Bad Paper is a riveting exposé, a moving story of an unlikely friendship, and a gritty narrative of how scrappy entrepreneurs profit from our debts. Jake Halpern introduces us to a former banking executive and a former armed robber who become partners and go in quest of “paper”—the uncollected debts that are sold off by banks for pennies on the dollar. As Halpern shows, the world of consumer debt collection is a wild and unregulated shadowland, where operators may misrepresent a debtor’s situation, make illegal threats, and even lay claim to debts that are not theirs to collect in the first place. It is a realm of indelible individuals who possess a swagger and vocabulary that even David Mamet could not invent. Halpern follows his collectors as they intimidate competitors with weapons, manage high-pressure call centers, and scheme new ways to benefit from American’s debt-industrial complex. He also explores the history of collection agencies and reveals the human cost of a system that leaves hardworking Americans with little opportunity to retire their debts in a reasonable way. The result is a bravura work of storytelling that is also an important consciousness-raiser.
Discover how Tapping can help you release your negative beliefs about money and open the door to more wealth than you ever imagined.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as Tapping, has become a popular tool for realizing goals, as evidenced by the recent New York Times bestseller The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner. For many of us, one of our main aspirations is to flourish in our careers and, by extension, in our finances. Yet limiting beliefs and fears keep people stuck in their current financial states. EFT uses the fingertips to tap on acupuncture points while emotionally tuning in to negative attitudes and past experiences, allowing people to transform their thoughts and feelings. Margaret M. Lynch teaches people how to harness the power of Tapping to identify and clear the blocks to prosperity.
This book also features QR codes and URLs linking to video demonstrations of Tapping exercises.
“Neutering the National Debt” is a refreshingly different perspective on deficits, the national debt, and economic growth. The author uses clear language and practical examples from our everyday lives to shed a surprising new light on these topics. For example, his “nuclear war brain teaser” quickly reveals the dangerous paradox built into the idea of a balanced budget amendment. And that’s just one example of the author’s frontal assault on conventional wisdom; these pages hold many additional surprises. His argument should jolt all of us into rethinking many topics we had thought were settled, such as: the Reagan-era deficits; the Clinton-era surpluses; the “debt ceiling”; the supposed wisdom of “paying down the debt”; what he calls “the fairy tale of trickle-down economics”; and other talking points high on both parties’ political agendas. He explains how the USA has neutralized the perceived problems of deficits and debt in the past, and how we could do it again. In the final chapter he bluntly suggests how the Republicans and the Democrats could adjust their respective agendas in order to neutralize the national debt and clear the path to prosperity, then he finishes with his estimate of each party’s chances of pulling it off. As CNBC’s Larry Kudlow said, Steve sheds a brand new light on this subject, and shows that economic growth solves debt. This book is a must read for anyone who wants a new perspective on these topics; it’s a welcome escape from the tired, worn-out talking points we’ve been hearing from both parties for too long.
We have all read headlines featuring a fortunate college-bound student who has received $100,000 or more in scholarship awards. Assuming that the scholarships were renewable annually, this amount could easily pay for four years of college at any American college or university. However, these success stories are the exception, not the rule. They are aberrations among the pool of millions of aspiring college students who submit scholarship applications to the hundreds of companies, foundations and non-profit groups that offer them. The reality is a much different, and sobering, picture. According to the 2014 edition of Peterson’s Scholarships, Grants and Prizes, nearly every student who earns a four-year degree graduates with student loan debt, which currently averages about $23,300. 101 Scholarship Applications: What It Takes to Obtain a Debt-Free College Education was written specifically to address the issue of college loan debt, and help students and their parents identify scholarship opportunities, as well as develop strategies for submitting applications and winning awards. This book’s author, Gwen Richardson, is a parent who spent nearly two years carefully researching scholarship sources for her teenage daughter, who entered college debt-free as a freshman. The highlight of this book is a comprehensive listing of more than 200 scholarship sources, including award amounts, eligibility requirements and direct web site links. All sources have been vetted and researched for accuracy.

Jack Ryan, the new president’s National Security Adviser, sees the problems of peace fully as complex as those of war. Enemies have become friends, friends enemies, and even the form of conflict has changed.
When one of the new enemies prepares to strike not only American territory but the heart of its economy, Ryan, with the help of CIA officers John Clark and Domingo Chavez, must prepare an untested president to meet the challenge. But how? For there is a debt of honor to be paid — and the price will be terrifyingly high.Razio Yamata is one of Japan’s most influential industrialists, and part of a relatively small group of authority who wield tremendous authority in the Pacific Rim’s economic powerhouse. He has devised a plan to cripple the American greatness, humble the U.S. military, and elevate Japan to a position of dominance on the world stage. Yamata’s motivation lies in his desire to pay off a Debt of Honor to his parents and to the country he feels is responsible for their deaths: America. All he needs is a catalyst to set his plan in motion. When the faulty gas tank on one Tennessee family’s car leads to their fiery death, an opportunistic U.S. congressman uses the occasion to rush a new trade law through the system. The law is designed to squeeze Japan economically. Instead, it provides Yamata with the leverage he needs to put his plan into action. As Yamata’s plan begins to unfold, it becomes clear to the world that someone is launching a fully integrated operation against the United States. There’s only one man to find out who the culprit is: Jack Ryan, the new president’s National Security Advisor.
