    Taxing the Rich: A History of Fiscal Fairness in the United States and Europe , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
    In today's social climate of acknowledged and growing inequality, why are there not greater efforts to tax the rich? In this wide-ranging and provocative book, Kenneth Scheve and David Stasavage ask when and why countries tax their wealthiest citizens - and their answers may surprise you. Taxing the Rich draws on unparalleled evidence from 20 countries over the last two centuries to provide the broadest and most in-depth history of progressive taxation available. Scheve and Stasavage explore the intellectual and political debates surrounding the taxation of the wealthy while also providing the most detailed examination to date of when taxes have been levied against the rich and when they haven't. Fairness in debates about taxing the rich has depended on different views of what it means to treat people as equals and whether taxing the rich advances or undermines this norm. Scheve and Stasavage argue that governments don't tax the rich just because inequality is high or rising - they do it when people believe that such taxes compensate for the state unfairly privileging the wealthy. Progressive taxation saw its heyday in the 20th century, when compensatory arguments for taxing the rich focused on unequal sacrifice in mass warfare. Today, as technology gives rise to wars of more limited mobilization, such arguments are no longer persuasive. Taxing the Rich shows how the future of tax reform will depend on whether political and economic conditions allow for new compensatory arguments to be made. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    ...the events in Glass House challenge Gamache's conscience unlike any of the previous audiobooks, with Bathurst prying open the hero's heart and soul and laying it bare for listeners to experience at a visceral level. — Audiofile Magazine AN AUGUST 2017 LibraryReads PICK! When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead. From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Québec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized. But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied. Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montréal, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back. More than the accused is on trial. Gamache’s own conscience is standing in judgment. In Glass Houses, her latest utterly gripping audiobook, number-one New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny shatters the conventions of the crime novel to explore what Gandhi called the court of conscience.

    Hey Rock Star... (eBook, ePUB)
    NIHILISM: the rejection of all religious and moral principles, in the belief that life is meaningless After a soul shattering series of personal and professional betrayals within the music industry pushed Tamara Salem Moore to suicide's fringe, Fate seemingly intervened. When an opportunity beyond the Texas concert producer's wildest dreams came calling. In the guise of a high-profile rock star reigning controversially in Moore's Heavy Metal motherland. Just when the new life that would save her was in view, a strange prophecy foretold the unthinkable through a supernatural psychic gift she was coming to terms with. The vision pointed to the sadistic destruction of all she wanted and immeasurable loss. Blame would be levied her way in the shocking death of another. In her tempestuous debut memoir HEY ROCK STAR…, in search of absolution Moore pens a public letter to the music god who then turned his back. She offers stormy truth through revelations intentionally kept secret before - imploring him to look deeper before final judgement is passed. Against scenes set within Rock 'n' Roll's blackest subculture, events leading to a formidable crisis of an unconventional faith leave the dark mystic primed to cross the border of a nihilism she feared no return from. If the real God didn't show Themself. When she dared It… Moore emerges from the aftermath to enlighten society with paradigm altering punk rock peace wisdom that can be found while burning in the proverbial fires of a modern-day grief crucible. If we can only allow that most painful destiny to teach… When it inevitably finds us.

    Microstructure of the First Organized Futures Market
    This book is the first comprehensive account of the rules and practices the microstructure of the Dojima Security Exchange (DSE), the world's first futures market. Despite worldwide interest in the DSE and its relevance to modern financial markets, it is only briefly touched upon as the earliest example of a futures market in most of the existing literature in English. Until the publication of this book, there has been no comprehensive account in English of the rules and practices of the DSE.The DSE emerged in Osaka, Japan, around the turn of the eighteenth century. In Tokugawa Japan (1603-1867), the shogunate and local lords levied taxes in rice and exchanged rice for currency in rice markets to finance their expenditures. Osaka had the biggest rice market in Japan throughout the Tokugawa period, and most local lords stored rice in their own warehouses in Osaka, selling rice at auctions. Successful bidders received "rice certificates" instead of rice itself, and each rice certificate could be exchanged for a pre-specified quantity of rice any time before its expiration at the issuer's warehouse. These certificates were actively traded in the DSE.The spot market in the DSE was the market for exchanging rice certificates. In turn, the futures market was the market for the trading of nominal rice derived from one of the representative rice certificates among about 30 brands. There is no physical delivery of rice in the spot market and there is no physical delivery of rice or rice certificate in the futures market-even on the maturity date. All the futures trades at the DSE should be settled by simply paying or receiving the payo defined as the di erence in price between the time of selling (buying) and buying back (selling back). The futures trade was called 'Cho-Ai-Mai', which literally means 'the rice trades on the book', and implies that there is no physical delivery of rice or rice certificate.
