Summary of The Euro by Joseph E. Stiglitz: Includes Analysis , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 23min
The Euro: How a Common Currency Threatens the Future of Europe is Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz's evisceration of the euro as the cause of political and economic turmoil in Europe today. From the very start, the decision to create a single currency for Europe was a major mistake founded on faulty ideology and misconceived economic principles. The economic half-truths that guided the construction of the Eurozone no longer hold water in 2016 and are outdated. The Eurozone is a group of 19 countries with very different political, cultural, and economic systems. By binding them together on minimal convergence criteria and without the structural backbone to keep them unified, the Eurozone failed to create an ecosystem of shared risk and reward that would also provide the flexibility necessary for individual countries to manage crises autonomously. What's more, the austerity measures applied to crisis countries have been unfairly punitive. Please note: This is key takeaways and analysis of the book and not the original book. ungekürzt.

Miranda , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 477min
Strong-minded, irrepressible Miranda Griscom is content working as a live-in housekeeper for the young Spafford family. Here she is loved and appreciated in contrast to her lonely childhood as an unwanted granddaughter. When a wealthy neighbor proposes marriage so that she can care for his motherless children, she is delighted to show him the door, proud that she is “a free and independent woman who can earn her own living”. In spite of her own sad beginning, Miranda has always championed the underdog. In her youth she devised a way to thwart the schoolteacher from unfairly giving the neighborhood bad boy a beating. Years later, in a comical plan involving mesmerizing and “ghosts”, she manages to catch the person responsible for the murder that caused her friend to flee the town. The story expands from the small town to include real personages of the mid 19th century: Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph; Dr. Marcus Whitman, missionary and blazer of the Oregon Trail. But it is chiefly the story of courageous-hearted, indomitable Miranda, a unique and endearing character. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Anne Hancock.

Wiccan Spells , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min

Curse of the Wolf Girl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1458min
Kallix, a morose, laudanum-addicted, unschooled, slightly anorexic werewolf is still on the run. The youngest daughter of the Thane of the MacRinnalch Clan of werewolves, held responsible unfairly for the death of the Thane, and justifiably responsible for the deaths of a great many other werewolves, remains prohibited from returning to Scotland in order to maintain the uneasy peace that temporarily prevails in court, despite the endemic debauchery and degeneracy always threatening to again spiral out of control. Frankly, things aren't much better for her in London than in Scotland. The love of her life is in hiding and her enemies increase in number by the day. Strong as she is when enraged, it's becoming ever more dangerous to be her. Daniel and Moonglow, her two human friends, do what they can to keep her hidden in plain sight (who would look for a werewolf in a remedial program for high school dropouts?) and keep her fed. Millar is a true world-creator, populating Curse of the Wolf Girl with a universe of characters: Fashion-designing werewolves, cross-dressing werewolves, and neurotic, psychotic, and erotic werewolves, as well as fairies, Fire Elementals, and good ole humans whipping them in faster and faster revolutions with his thrilling, vertiginous rollercoaster narrative. ungekürzt.

Amnesty International is facing a backlash for proposing a new policy for sex workers. They want to stop the criminalization of buying or selling sex between consenting adults. Susie says, Hooray! But some big-time Hollywood stars are using their fame to oppose this effort, because they think sex workers are always oppressed and trafficked. But the World Health Organization has also called for decriminalization, so we'll have to see how this plays out. Will celebrity power influence - or just muddy up - the process? Next, Susie has a question for you: What birth control method has rather unfairly faded into obscurity? Answer: the diaphragm, but it's making a comeback. Susie has a tutorial you will love. Finally, it's our "Try this at Home" mailbag. Susie has a letter from a listener who writes, "I haven't had sex in 40 years, but I've just found a young, hot new boyfriend, and I need help getting my vagina back in working order. Can you give me some tips?" Have a question or news story for Susie? You can send your confidential queries and comments to susie@susiebright.com.
