The Gods that Failed: How Blind Faith in Markets Has Cost Us Our Future

Authors: Larry Eliott, Dan Atkinson
Publisher: Nation Books 2009-02-02
ISBN: 1568586027 PDF 304 pages


Over the past three decades, governments have ceded economic control to a new elite of free-market
operatives and their colleagues in national and international institutions like the IMF, the World Bank,
and the World Trade Organization. They promised economic stability but have delivered chaos. Their
speculation has left the global economy more vulnerable to a financial collapse than any time since
1929.

Two leading financial journalists dissect this financial elite, tracing their origins to a secretive
gathering of free-market economists in 1947, and propose a series of far-reaching reforms that can save
us from a new depression.

The Pleasure Is All Mine cookbook - Selfish Food For Modern Life

Posted Image



“I couldn’t put this book down! Everyone will be begging to be a guest or even a dishwasher in Suzanne Pirret’s kitchen after reading and cooking from The Pleasure Is All Mine. She’s infectious!” (Bobby Flay )

“The type of book one can curl up with and read as well as take to the kitchen and actually use.... Refreshingly casual and conversational.... I’m inspired to get back to the kitchen and treat myself to more home-cooked meals.” (Epicurious.com )

“A saucy, snarky take on cooking for one, with ‘simple (yet not stupid) recipes’ accompanied by wine and cocktail pairings, and roguish, funny stories from her experiences living in New York, Los Angeles, Paris and London.” (Publishers Weekly )

“A collection of 100 excellent recipes-for-one…. [Suzanne Pirret] displays a disarming blend of naked egotism, self-deprecating humor and, most important, a keen understanding of good cooking. While many of Ms. Pirret’s recipes are sophisticated, they can all be produced in real-world kitchen conditions.” (Wall Street Journal )

“Back away from the frozen pizza. Suzanne Pirret’s cheeky new book offers elegant, decadent dishes for one.” (Metro )

“A wickedly funny manifesto for the hungry single girl that makes solo dining effortless as well as fabulous, with musings on the catering industries of New York, LA, Paris and London, where Pirret was a chef at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant, Fifteen.” (Marie Claire (UK) )

“Intoxicatingly indulgent… Cooking for yourself doesn’t need to be about self-deprivation or about you’re-not-worth-anything-better recipes… Pirret’s hilarious recipe headnotes, fictional interludes and essays are worth the price of the book even if you don’t make a single one of the dishes.” (Washington Post ) --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

The Coming Population Crash: and Our Planet's Surprising Future

Posted Image

Author: Fred Pearce
Publisher: Beacon Press, 2010
ISBN: 0807085839, 304 pages, PDF

Demography is destiny. It underlies many of the issues that shake the world, from war and economics to immigration. No wonder, then, that fears of overpopulation flared regularly over the last century, a century that saw the world’s population quadruple. Even today, baby booms are blamed for genocide and terrorism, and overpopulation is regularly cited as the primary factor driving global warming and other environmental issues.

Yet, surprisingly, it appears that the explosion is past its peak. Around the world, in developing countries as well as in rich ones, today’s women are having on average 2.6 children, half the number their mothers had. Within a generation, world fertility will likely follow Europe’s to below replacement levels—and by 2040, the world’s population will be declining for the first time since the Black Death, almost seven hundred years ago.

In The Coming Population Crash, veteran environmental writer Fred Pearce reveals the dynamics behind this dramatic shift. Charting the demographic path of our species over two hundred years, he begins by chronicling the troubling history of authoritarian efforts to contain the twentieth century’s population explosion, as well as the worldwide trend toward the empowerment of women that led to lower birthrates. And then, with vivid reporting from around the globe, he dives into the environmental, social, and economic effects of our surprising demographic future.

Now is probably the last time in history that our world will hold more young people than elders. Most fear that an aging world population will put a serious drain on national resources, as a shrinking working population supports a growing number of retirees. But is this necessarily so? Might an older world population have an upside? Pearce also shows us why our demographic future holds increased migration rates, and reveals the hypocrisy at the heart of anti-immigrant rhetoric in the developed world: the simple fact is that countries with lower birthrates need workers and countries with higher birthrates need work. And he tackles the truism that population density always leads to environmental degradation, taking us from some of the world’s most densely packed urban slums to rural Africa to argue that underpopulation can sometimes be the cause of environmental woes, while cities could hold the key to sustainable living.

Pearce’s provocative book is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what demographics tell us about our global future, and for all those who believe in learning from the mistakes of the past.
