Paper Money Collapse, 2nd EditionThe Folly of Elastic MoneyDETLEV S. SCHLICHTER, THOMAS MAYER

Description: Explore the inevitable collapse of the fi at monetary system

Paper Money Collapse: The Folly of Elastic Money, Second Edition challenges the mainstream consensus on money and monetary policy. Based on insights of the Austrian School of Economics, this book shows that the transition from ‘hard’ money (a gold standard) to fully fl exible, politicized fi at money today has not brought monetary stability but must ultimately lead to chaos and economic disintegration. It clarifi es the problem of paper money clearly and eloquently, and proposes multiple routes to a solution.

The updated second edition includes:

• A new introduction and an extended outlook section that discusses various “endgames”

• Responses to criticisms, alternative views, and a critical assessment of ‘solutions’

• Comments on recent policy trends, including attempts to exit the ‘easy money’ policy mode

• An evaluation of new crypto-currency Bitcoin

The book uses rigorous logic and clear language, and should appeal to economists and interested laypeople alike.

Why Moats MatterThe Morningstar Approach to Stock InvestingHEATHER BRILLIANT, ELIZABETH COLLINS

Description: Finding great businesses at great prices is the holy grail of investing. How can you tell a great business from a poor one? A great business is one that can fend off competition and earn high returns on capital for many years to come. Such companies have economic moats--structural advantages that protect them from competitors, just as physical moats protected castles from enemies. Even better than fi nding a great business is fi nding one at a great price.

This book will:• Introduce Morningstar’s approach to stock investing

• Explain the concept of economic moats and the fi ve sources of sustainable competitive advantage–Intangible Assets, Switching Costs,Â Network Effect, Cost Advantage, and Effi cient Scale

• Establish the difference between business quality and undervalued stocks

• Discuss industry standards for evaluating moats

• Help determine how moats affect stock returns and stock valuation

Economic Theory

Saving the Market from CapitalismIdeas for an Alternative FinanceMassimo Amato, Bocconi University

Description: This new book by two leading economists is a far-reaching analysis of the role and organization of the fi nancial system in the aftermath of the economic crisis. The authors argue that the fi nancial markets, as currently organized, hinder genuine market transactions and therefore harm the economy, along with any chance of sustained recovery. They also develop concrete proposals for how to reform fi nancial systems and revitalize markets, freeing them from the overwhelming power of the one market that has come to dominate them all, the fi nancial market. This is an important and topical book that builds on and goes beyond the author’s successful earlier book The End of Finance.

Financial Markets, Banking, and Monetary PolicyThomas D. Simpson

Description: The current fi nancial model has focused on money as a unique asset that is produced exclusively by commercial banks, and regulated by central banks to achieve their macroeconomic goals. However, as fi nancial systems have evolved in the United States and elsewhere around the globe, what constitutes money has become blurred and such monetary aggregates have become highly unreliable and discarded guides to policy. As a result, central banks have turn to focus on infl uencing the prices of a broad spectrum of fi nancial assets, and thereby the spending behavior of businesses and consumers. This book will create a better understanding of that monetary policy so both students and professionals can get a solid understanding of this term structure relationship and how it works throughout the fi nancial system.

20th Century Philosophy

ControversiesPolitics and Philosophy in our TimeAlain Badiou, Jean-Claude Milner

Description: Alain Badiou was born in 1937 in Rabat and Jean-Claude Milner in 1941 in Paris. They were both involved in the “Red Years” at the end of the Sixties and both were Maoists, but while Badiou was focusing all his attention on China, Milner was already taking his distance from it. Over the years, that original dispute over the destiny of gauchisme was fueled by deep, new differences between them concerning the role of philosophy and politics.

In this wide-ranging and compelling dialogue, these two great thinkers explore the role of politics in today’s world and consider the need for a formal theory of communist political organization. Whether they are addressing the era of revolutions, and in particular the Paris Commune and the Chinese Cultural Revolution, or discussing the infi nite, the universal, the name “Jew”, violence, capitalism, the left, or Europe, Jean-Claude Milner’s dyed-in-the-wool skepticism constantly runs up against Alain Badiou’s doctrinal passion.

American Politics

Obama PowerJeffrey C. Alexander, Bernadette N. Jaworsky

Description: What is the source of Obama’s power? How is it that, after suffering a humiliating defeat in the 2010 mid-term elections, Obama was able to turn the situation around, deftly outmaneuvering his opponent and achieving a decisive victory in the November 2012 presidential election?

In this short and brilliant book, the authors argue that neither money nor demography can explain this dramatic turnaround. What made it possible, they show, was cultural reconstruction. The book develops a powerful argument about the power of symbols and narratives in modern democratic politics, thereby challenging the mainstream view that American elections are decided by money, demography and the state of the economy: the key to winning elections is the ability to ‘make meaning’ effectively.

Asian Politics

Cyber Policy in ChinaGreg Austin

Description: Few doubt that China wants to be a major economic and military power on the world stage. To achieve this ambitious goal, however, the PRC leadership knows that China must fi rst become an advanced information-based society. But does China have what it takes to get there?

This book offers the fi rst comprehensive analysis of China’s information society. It explores the key practical challenges facing Chinese politicians as they try to marry the development of modern information and communications technology with old ways of governing their people and conducting international relations information. Fundamental realities of the information age, not least its globalizing character, are forcing the pace of technological change in China and are not fully compatible with the old PRC ethics of stability, national industrial strength and sovereignty. What happens to China in future decades will depend on the ethical choices its leaders are willing to make today. The stakes are high. But if China’s ruling party does not adapt more aggressively to the defi ning realities of power and social organization in the information age, the ‘China dream’ looks unlikely to become a reality.
