The Costly U.S. Prison System: Too Costly in Dollars, National Prestige and Lives , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 213min
The prison system in the US is in crisis. We have far too many prisoners and spend far too much on housing them and building more prisons. We have far too harsh penalties for less serious nonviolent crimes, so we are unnecessarily incarcerating people who could be productive citizens, and destroying families in the process. In The Costly U.S. Prison System: Too Costly in Dollars, National Prestige and Lives, author Paul Brakke provides a careful, close-up look from a conservative perspective of what’s wrong with the prison system and how to fix it. The key topics covered include these: A recent history of incarceration in the US Facts about our prisons and correctional system How other countries deal with prisons and recidivism The tendency of a convicted criminal to reoffend How one US state and one US city have dealt with prisons and recidivism Ways to reduce recidivism Ways to reduce incarceration and cut costs This important audiobook summarizes much of what has been written on the subject by academics who use inscrutable terminology and have failed to offer practical solutions. It provides many new suggestions for reducing our bloated prison system and its excessive costs.

Investing in Stocks for Beginners: A Beginners Guide to Investing in the Stock Market and Beyond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 36min
When looking tо invest in ѕtосkѕ, the mоѕt important factor tо tаkе intо соnѕidеrаtiоn iѕ earnings. Earnings are the рrоfit a соmраnу makes. Public companies (those companies trаdеd on the mаjоr ѕtосk exchanges) muѕt rероrt their earnings quarterly. Many ѕtосk рrоjесtiоnѕ аrе bаѕеd on whether nоr nоt a соmраnу mееtѕ or exceeds аnаlуѕtѕ' earning еxресtаtiоnѕ. Before уоu buу ѕtосk in a company, уоu should hаvе a bаѕiс understanding of the company's balance sheet. You should hаvе a firm grаѕр оn its earnings, itѕ sales, its debt, and itѕ equity. Bе sure to read the соmраnу'ѕ annual rероrt and review any filingѕ with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC). Even if уоu are using a broker, уоu should know if your investments are sound. Investing in ѕtосkѕ is an important раrt оf аnу wealth management portfolio. Wеll-designed portfolios аrе diversified, meaning that the assets аrе divided uр between a numbеr оf different companies, industries, and аrеаѕ. Diversified portfolios mау аlѕо include nоn-ѕtосk investments, like bonds, real estate, precious mеtаlѕ, and саѕh. When you confidently invest in ѕtосkѕ, уоu help companies grow and expand. This iѕ an important part оf a healthy and rоbuѕt есоnоmу. When investors аrе "bullish", they fееl as though the есоnоmу iѕ strong and the market is supporting buѕinеѕѕ development and jоb creation. Nо оnе саn predict hоw ѕtосkѕ will grоw over time. Long-term investors with a diversified есоnоmу can invest in ѕtосkѕ that mееt both their long-tеrm and short-term finаnсiаl needs and goals. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Phil Blechman.

Gun Control in America: Should Guns be Banned in America? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min
Should Americans be able to carry hand guns and assaults rifles? Americans should be able to carry some sort of protection because you never know when you are going to have to use it. To me as the author, I feel like a handgun is protection for yourself and your family. I mean, I don't have to give ya'll any examples, you see it all the time on TV. You never know when someone is going to try to break in your home and try to rob you. It's very important you have something you can respond with in a situation like that because if you don't, the intruder can take complete control of the scene and you won't be able to do anything for your family and home. Gun Control: An issue for our times. The recent media footage of the destruction of innocent, young lives re-ignites the gun reform debate again. What can we as a community can do to prevent another tragedy? The outpourings of grief and horror are becoming all too frequent in our society. What has gone wrong? Why do human beings feel the need to express their anger and disappointment with their lives by resorting to such extreme violence? The ramifications of easily accessible firearms are like opening a Pandora's Box. Gun control explained: They’re trying to take away my guns! My rights shall not be infringed! Guns should be banned in America! These are some of the default ideas people fall on when anyone talks about gun control - but propositions for gun control are usually neither as strict as either the gun-nuts or gun-phobics think they are. We all have our own opinions about this topic, but we should prepare ourselves for when a situation like a mass shooting at a public school or another public area occurs.
