    Contra Krugman: Smashing the Errors of America's Most Famous Keynesian , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 951min
    With a foreword by Ron Paul If you believe in the unhampered free market, The New York Times columnist Paul Krugman thinks you're an idiot. This book is a relentless assault on the ideas of Krugman and on the Keynesian economics that would have the government direct the economy in order to maximize prosperity and prevent recessions. In fact, the more they try to manage the economy the worse they make it - as during the housing bubble years when the Fed and the federal government colluded to gin up the housing market in order to keep the economy robust after 9/11. Oops. Unfortunately for Krugman and his followers, Krugman is able to declare victory for Keynesianism only by citing highly selective data, by ignoring or misrepresenting his own predictions, or by misstating the views of his opponents. Krugman even claims to have predicted the housing bubble - after having called for the very policies that created it. Economist Robert Murphy (PhD, NYU) has an uncanny ability to recall Krugman's columns and interviews and puts his command of this material to devastating use in this book. As Murphy shows, in no way can it be said that Keynesian analysis has won the day. To the contrary, the Austrian School - which has been critical of government intervention, particularly central banking - has been vindicated in episode after episode. Topics include: The Great Depression  Obamacare Krugman's predictions Monetary policy Climate change Financial "reform" Employment and wages The minimum wage Business cycles  Stimulus Listen to this book, and never lose a debate again. ungekürzt.

    Poking Chocolates & Other Rude Habits (en route to the Sweet Life) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min
    Spiced with compelling anecdotes, Poking Chocolates tracks the author as she bumps into the rich, odd and famous in search of the sweet life. With Stevie Wonder on the radio, Costa and I sang our way into Harvard Square, parked illegally and scoured bulletin boards looking for cheap housing. Unhampered by the drag of tradition, we were soaring helium balloons. Delighted to be free! After an inspiring eight months with me, the man who had shared my bed and life decided he was definitely gay. I'd always been a fierce champion of personal freedom, so why would I feel crushed? Needing a diversion after Costa left, I met with a handful of writers that summer in the home of Anne Sexton, a Pulitzer-Prize winning poet. When I'd left home at 17, Princeton had been a stimulating pit stop, but it left me hungry. Not one of my college professors seemed to care about my enlightenment. Sexton was famous for a sexy brand of alchemy, digging deep for what was true and transforming her lousy love life into passionate poetry. Had I stumbled on an all-purpose mentor? Heading out on a quest for she's-not-sure-what, the author leaves her Kennedy-esque life of easy privilege to find the More she couldn't quite define. Whether slicing spam for Grandma Grunt on Martha's Vineyard or eating coddled eggs with Lady Chichester in London, whether tripping on MDA in her mother's garden or scrapping for justice in a courtroom, the cross-cultural puddle jumping lands her in dozens of unexpected territories, both ideological and geographical. Funny and fast-paced, Cia's serendipitous tour leads to an encounter on a country road in England that upends her life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cia Chester McKoy.
