Since 2008, economic policymakers and researchers have occupied a brave new economic world. Previous consensuses have been upended, former assumptions have been cast into doubt, and new approaches have yet to stand the test of time. Policymakers have been forced to improvise and researchers to rethink basic theory. George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate and one of this volume’s editors, compares the crisis to a cat stuck in a tree, afraid to move. In April 2013, the International Monetary Fund brought together leading economists and economic policymakers to discuss the slowly emerging contours of the macroeconomic future. This book offers their combined insights. The editors and contributors–who include the Nobel Laureate and bestselling author Joseph Stiglitz, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen, and the former Governor of the Bank of Israel Stanley Fischer–consider the lessons learned from the crisis and its aftermath. They discuss, among other things, post-crisis questions about the traditional policy focus on inflation; macroprudential tools (which focus on the stability of the entire financial system rather than of individual firms) and their effectiveness; fiscal stimulus, public debt, and fiscal consolidation; and exchange rate arrangements.

In reality, your money problems may not be money problems at all. As Dr. Bernard E. Poduska points out in Till Debt Do Us Part, most financial problems are actually behavior problems. If you can identify the behavior problems – and the emotions behind the behavior – you will be well on your way to solving your financial woes. Unlike books that emphasize balance sheets and budgets, Till Debt Do Us Part explains the interaction among finances, feelings, and family relationships. Only by examining that interaction can family members establish a successful financial management program.

In just a few short years, federal budget deficits and the national debt rose from obscurity to become America’s newest obsession. Unfortunately, while interest in the issue has grown, rigid ideology and an increasingly vitriolic and entrenched public dialogue have crowded out thoughtful discourse, preventing even basic education on budgets, the deficit, and the role of government.

Fiscal Therapy is an antidote to the demagoguery and half-truths. It explains the scope and nature of the deficit problem facing the United States and offers sensible, balanced, workable solutions in clear language, drawing on national history, the experiences of other countries, and economic analysis. According to William G. Gale, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and codirector of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, what is at stake in solving the deficit problem is the social contract that governs how Americans interact with their government.

Restructuring government and balancing the long-term budget are monumental tasks. While Americans need not and should not abandon their fundamental values, the required actions will be profound. No country makes such changes easily or quickly, but failure to act will ultimately guarantee long-term economic ruin.

Gale proposes a set of policies to restore fiscal balance through shared sacrifice. His proposal would restructure taxes and spending programs, cut overall government outlays, raise revenues, and put the economy and the budget on sound footing.

TO TAKE BACK LIFE, ONE MUST FIRST FACE DEATH… One man stripped of his freedom, his morals… his life. Conditioned in captivity to maim, to kill and to slaughter, prisoner 818 becomes an unremorseful, unrivaled and unstoppable fighter in the ring. Violence is all he knows. Death and brutality are the masters of his fate. After years of incarceration in an underground hell, only one thought occupies his mind: revenge… bloody, slow and violent revenge. Revenge on the man who lied. Revenge on the man who wronged him. Revenge on the man who condemned him and turned him into… this: a rage-fueled killing machine. A monster void of humanity; a monster filled with hate. And no one will stand in the way of getting what he wants. ***** One woman stripped of her freedom, her morals… her life. Kisa Volkova is the only daughter of Kirill ‘The Silencer’ Volkov, head of the infamous ‘Red’ bosses of New York’s Russian Bratva. Her life is protected. In reality, it’s a virtual prison. Her father’s savage treatment of his rivals and his lucrative and coveted underground gambling ring—The Dungeon—ensures too many enemies lurk at their door. She dreams to be set free. Kisa has known only cruelty and loss in her short life. As manager of her father’s death match enterprise, only grief and pain fill her days. Her mafiya boss father, in her world, rules absolute. And her fiancé, Alik Durov, is no better: The Dungeon’s five-time champion, a stone-cold killer, the treasured son of her father’s best friend, and her very own—and much resented—personal guard. Unrivaled in both strength and social standing, Alik controls every facet of Kisa’s life, dominates her every move; keeps her subdued and dead inside… then one night changes everything. While working for her church—the only reprieve in her constant surveillance—Kisa stumbles across a tattooed, scarred, but stunningly beautiful homeless man on the streets. Something about him stirs feelings deep within her; familiar yet impossibly forbidden desires. He doesn’t talk. Doesn’t communicate with anyone. He’s a man beyond saving, and a man she must quickly forget… for both their sakes. But when days later, out of the blue and to her complete surprise, he’s announced as the replacement fighter in The Dungeon, Kisa knows she’s in a whole lot of trouble. He’s built, ripped and lethally unforgiving to his opponents, leaving fear in his wake and the look of death in his eyes. Kisa becomes obsessed with him. Yearns for him. Craves his touch. Needs to possess this mysterious man… … this man they call Raze. Dark Contemporary Romance.

Navigating Austerity addresses a key policy question of our era: what happens to society and the environment when austerity dominates political and economic life? To get to the heart of this issue, Laura Bear tells the stories of boatmen, shipyard workers, hydrographers, port bureaucrats and river pilots on the Hooghly River, a tributary of the Ganges that flows into the Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean. Through their accounts, Bear traces the hidden currents of state debt crises and their often devastating effects.

Taking the reader on a voyage along the river, Bear reveals how bureaucrats, entrepreneurs and workers navigate austerity policies. Their attempts to reverse the decline of ruined public infrastructures, environments and urban spaces lead Bear to argue for a radical rethinking of economics according to a social calculus. This is a critical measure derived from the ethical concerns of people affected by national policies. It places issues of redistribution and inequality at the fore of public and environmental plans. Concluding with proposals for restoring more just long term social obligations, Bear suggests new practices of state financing and ways to democratize fiscal policy. Her aim is to transform sovereign debt from a financial problem into a widely debated ethical and political issue. Navigating Austerity contributes to policy studies as well as to the understanding of today’s global injustices. It also develops new theories about the significance of state debt, speculation and time for contemporary capitalism. Sited on a single body of water flowing with rhythms of circulation, renewal and transformation, this ambitious and accessible book will be of interest to specialists and general readers.

The brilliant new novel in Robert B. Parker’s New York Times–bestselling series featuring police chief Jesse Stone. 

All is quiet in Paradise, except for a spate of innocuous vandalism. Good thing, too, because Jesse Stone is preoccupied with the women in his life, both past and present. As his ex-wife, Jen, is about to marry a Dallas real-estate tycoon, Jesse isn’t too sure his relationship with former FBI agent Diana Evans is built to last. But those concerns get put on the back burner when a major Boston crime boss is brutally murdered. Despite all evidence to the contrary, Jesse suspects it’s the work of Mr. Peepers, a psychotic assassin who has caused trouble for Jesse in the past.

Peepers has long promised revenge against the Mob, Jesse, and Suit for their roles in foiling one of his hits—and against Jen as well. And though Jesse and Jen have long parted ways, Jesse still feels responsible for her safety. Jesse and Diana head to Dallas for the wedding and, along with the tycoon’s security team, try to stop Peepers before the bill comes due. With Peepers toying with the authorities as to when and where he’ll strike, Jesse is up against the wall. Still, there’s a debt to pay and blood to be spilled to satisfy it. But whose blood, and just how much?

An Angel, a wizard, and a Horseman of the Apocalypse walk into a bar… Nate Temple has authority issues. As a reckless playboy living the lifestyle only a billionaire heir could, he easily earns the hatred and envy of everyone in St. Louis – especially the monsters. But that tends to happen when you’re also secretly a wizard… and your idea of fun is cow-tipping the Minotaur, stealing Death’s motorcycle, sucker punching the Brothers Grimm, and instinctively thumbing your nose at anyone more powerful than you. It’s Mardi Gras, but Nate Temple – plagued with horrifying night terrors of carnage and chaos that could qualify him as a card-carrying psychopathic insomniac – is not celebrating. Instead, he’s been tinkering with his sudden boost in magical power, the power that surged inside him following his parents’ murder – the power that abruptly made him the strongest wizard for hundreds of miles. And that jump in power has only created a glaring void of jealousy in his wizard brethren, painting a nice fat target on his back. Still, he seeks to avenge his parents… But will he succeed when the ruling body of wizards strips him of his powers, his allies desert him, the city itself fights to shut him and his billion dollar company down, and the heaviest of the Biblical big hitters threaten him to cease and desist his investigation before his Blood Debt ignites Armageddon? Nate soon realizes that he’s in the fog of war against a foe that has been playing chess while Nate has been playing checkers, and every supernatural nation is fighting to earn the right to murder him to death. Blood Debts is the second installment in the Nate Temple series of Supernatural Thrillers, and is said by readers to be a fine addition to the shelves beside the Greats themselves: Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, and Patrick Rothfuss. INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR: Q: So, what makes the Nate Temple series special? A: I wanted to write a series of stories that mirrored the books I liked to read in my childhood. My top picks were usually urban fantasy, paranormal best sellers, and of course, books featuring your classic gritty, pulp-fiction heroes. Basically, anything with a lot of creepy crawly supernatural characters: mythical creatures, ancient heroes, super villains, and gods. You will find that the stories focus on the ancient myths, characters, and stories we all know and love. Then twist them up and toss them back like an empty beer can. Q: What order should I read the books in? A: I’ve written the series with the intent that they should be read in order to get the full effect of the bigger picture; however the stories can be read in any order if you are looking for a quick, fast-paced romp through Adrenaline-ville. I suggest the following sequence: – Obsidian Son – Blood Debts – Fairy Tale – Prequel (FREE to email subscribers) – Grimm – Coming August 2016 Q: So, why should readers give these books a try? A: Because the Nate Temple series is a present day, thrill-ride that takes no prisoners. Dragons, Angels, Demons, Greek Legends, Wizards, werewolves, and a whole slew of other supernatural ‘Freaks’ abound in my stories. Blood Debts has hit the top ten bestsellers list on Kindle for Urban Fantasy and Paranormal. The plot twists and turns until the last page, and my twisted sense of humor will have you laughing out loud at things you really shouldn’t be laughing at.
