    Conspiracy of Fools: A True Story, Hörbuch, Digital, 597min
    In 2000, when The Informant was published, few would've imagined that a story about price fixing at Archer Daniels Midland could be as un-put-downable as the best crime fiction. Yet critics, and consumers, agreed: New York Times reporter Kurt Eichenwald had taken the stuff of dry business reporting and turned it into an unparalleled page-turner. With Conspiracy of Fools, Eichenwald has done it again. Say the name 'Enron' and most people believe they've heard all about the story that imperiled a presidency, destroyed a marketplace, and changed Washington and Wall Street forever. But in the hands of Kurt Eichenwald, the players we think we know and the business practices we think have been exposed are transformed into entirely new, and entirely gripping, material. The cast includes but is not limited to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Paul O'Neill, Harvey Pitt, Colin Powell, Gray Davis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Alan Greenspan, Ken Lay, Andy Fastow, Jeff Skilling, Bill Clinton, Rupert Murdoch, and Michael Eisner. Providing a you-are-there glimpse behind closed doors in the executive suites of the Enron Corporation, the Texas governor's mansion, the Justice Department, and even the Oval Office, Conspiracy of Fools is an all-true financial and political thriller of cinematic proportions. This audio also includes an exclusive interview with the author and a "cast of characters" list. Language: English. Narrator: Stephen Lang.

    Der freie Mensch (eBook, ePUB)
    DER FREIE MENSCH erschien 1957 und war Ayn Rands größter Erfolg und ihr letztes belletristisches Werk. In diesem Roman dramatisiert sie ihre einzigartige Philosophie in Form eines intellektuellen Polit-Thrillers, der Ethik, Metaphysik, Erkenntnistheorie, Politik, Wirtschaft und Sexualität verbindet. Angesiedelt in einer parallelen Zukunft der USA, deren Wirtschaft durch das mysteriöse Verschwinden führender Innovatoren und Industrieller zusammenbricht, präsentiert dieser Roman ein erstaunliches Panorama des menschlichen Lebens - vom kreativen Genie, das zum Playboy wird ... über den großen Stahlindustriellen, der nicht weiß, dass er für seine eigene Zerstörung arbeitet ... zum Philosophen, der zum Piraten wird ... zur Frau, die eine transkontinentale Eisenbahn betreibt ... bis zum letzten Gleisarbeiter in ihren Eisenbahntunneln. Bevölkert von überlebensgroßen Helden und Schurken, aufgeladen mit gewaltigen Fragen über Gut und Böse, ist DER FREIE MENSCH der Aufruf zu einer philosophischen Revolution im Gewand eines Action-Thrillers. Es gibt begeisterte Fans dieses Buches, wütende Kritiker und nur wenige Leser, die es kalt lässt. Warum ruft DER FREIE MENSCH so leidenschaftliche Reaktionen hervor? Weil das Buch sich mit den grundlegenden Problemen der menschlichen Existenz auseinandersetzt - und radikal neue Antworten präsentiert. "Der freie Mensch ist eine Feier des Lebens und des Glücks. Die Gerechtigkeit ist unerbittlich. Kreative Individuen mit unbeirrbare Zielstrebigkeit und Rationalität erreichen Freude und Erfüllung. Parasiten, die sich beharrlich entweder einem sinnvollen Leben oder der Vernunft entziehen, gehen zugrunde, wie sie es sollten." - Alan Greenspan Im Deutschen erschien das Buch in bisherigen Übersetzungen unter den Titeln "Atlas wirft die Welt ab", "Wer ist John Galt?" und "Der Streik"

    21st Century Monetary Policy: The Federal Reserve from the Great Inflation to COVID-19 (eBook, ePUB)
    21st Century Monetary Policy takes readers inside the Federal Reserve, explaining what it does and why. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve deployed an extraordinary range of policy tools that helped prevent the collapse of the financial system and the U.S. economy. Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues lent directly to U.S. businesses, purchased trillions of dollars of government securities, pumped dollars into the international financial system, and crafted a new framework for monetary policy that emphasized job creation. These strategies would have astonished Powell's late-20th-century predecessors, from William McChesney Martin to Alan Greenspan, and the advent of these tools raises new questions about the future landscape of economic policy. In 21st Century Monetary Policy, Ben S. Bernanke—former chair of the Federal Reserve and one of the world's leading economists—explains the Fed's evolution and speculates on its future. Taking a fresh look at the bank's policymaking over the past seventy years, including his own time as chair, Bernanke shows how changes in the economy have driven the Fed's innovations. He also lays out new challenges confronting the Fed, including the return of inflation, cryptocurrencies, increased risks of financial instability, and threats to its independence. Beyond explaining the central bank's new policymaking tools, Bernanke also captures the drama of moments when so much hung on the Fed's decisions, as well as the personalities and philosophies of those who led the institution.

    Rich People Things , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 442min
    It's never easy being rich: endless tax avoidance, the Sisyphean search for reliable domestic staff, the never-ending burden of surly stares from the Great Sea of the Unwashed as one goes about one's rightful business. Toughest of all is simply keeping track of everything one owns. There's so much of it. And personal possessions are just the beginning. You must keep a gimlet eye, too, on the myriad people and institutions that safeguard your gilded status: politicians, newspapers, financial instruments, branches of government. They all belong to you. But staying on top of what they're up to is a full time job. What's an overstretched gazillionaire to do?Now, with the publication of Rich People Things, the problems of our over-classes are, well, over. In a concise, easy-to-use guide, Chris Lehmann catalogs the fortifications that shelter the opulent from the resentments of the hoi polloi. From ideological stanchions such as the Free Market and the Prosperity Gospel, through the castellation of media, including The New York Times, Wired Magazine and reality television, to burly gatekeepers such as David Brooks, Steve Forbes, and Alan Greenspan, the well-to-do will find, in these pages, a comforting and comprehensive array of the protections that allow them to sleep sound at night. For the rest of us, Lehmann's sparkling prose, at the same time pointed and whimsical, can at least provide a diverting glimpse into how the top one percent maintains an iron grip on almost half of America's financial wealth. ungekürzt.

    The High Cost of Good Intentions: A History of U.S. Federal Entitlement Programs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1082min
    Federal entitlement programs are strewn throughout the pages of U.S. history, springing from the noble purpose of assisting people who are destitute through no fault of their own. Yet as federal entitlement programs have grown, so too have their inefficiency and their cost. Neither tax revenues nor revenues generated by the national economy have been able to keep pace with their rising growth, bringing the national debt to a record peacetime level.The High Cost of Good Intentions is the first comprehensive history of these federal entitlement programs. Combining economics, history, political science, and law, John F. Cogan reveals how the creation of entitlements brings forth a steady march of liberalizing forces that cause entitlement programs to expand. This process - as visible in the 18th and 19th centuries as in the present day - is repeated until benefits are extended to nearly all who could be considered eligible, and in turn establishes a new base for future expansions. His work provides a unifying explanation for the evolutionary path that nearly all federal entitlement programs have followed over the past 200 years, tracing both their shared past and the financial risks they pose for future generations.The book is published by Stanford University Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks."Finally someone has written a comprehensive history of America's efforts to help worthy groups of Americans: the elderly, the veteran, the less fortunate, and the very young." (Bill Bradley former U.S. senator)"This book should be read by anyone interested in addressing our nation's fiscal and economic future, regardless of their political persuasion." (Sam Nunn former U.S. senator)"This is an important and splendid book." (Alan Greenspan former Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States) ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Saucers of Fire: Nazi UFOs, the Hollow Earth, the Axis Shift, and Other Apocalyptic Assertions from the X-Files of Saucerian Press , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 391min
    New Saucerian Press proudly presents Saucers of Fire: Nazi UFOs, the Hollow Earth, the Axis Shift, and Other Apocalyptic Assertions - one of the last books by the iconic ufologist, publisher, and best-selling author, Gray Barker, whose writing influenced the plotlines of shows like "Star Trek", "Futurama", "The X-Files", "Twin Peaks", "The Outer Limits", and "The Twilight Zone".  Shuttling between his Manhattan publishing office and his secluded cabin deep in the hills of his home state of West Virginia, the prolific Barker single-handedly kept public interest focused on UFOs during it leanest years and introduced many themes still discussed and investigated by today’s paranormal and conspiracy researchers: the Roswell UFO crash, "Men in Black", ancient aliens, Nazi UFOs, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, MJ-12, secret underground bases, little green men, and the Maury Island incident. Saucers of Fire and its sister books, Serpents of Fire, Saucers of Fear, Time-Traveling Through Swamp Gas, Bigfoot Shootout, The Ghost of the Philadelphia Experiments Return, and When Men in Black Attack: The Strange Case of Albert K. Bender, were assembled by Barker shortly before his death, using material culled from deteriorating copies of his notoriously speculative newsletters and gossipy syndicated column - for years the most widely read national column on UFOs, Forteana, and “weird science”.This unique edition of Saucers of Fear features a special introduction by Barker, as well as reports from his field investigators, who - in true newsletter style - shed urgent, much-needed light on riddles such as: UFO abductions, missing time, manmade saucers, “alien” babies, the inner Earth, Hitler, and more. ungekürzt.
