Cost of Free Money: How Unfettered Capital Threatens Our Economic Future
A penetrating account of how unchecked capital mobility is damaging international cooperation, polarizing the economic landscape, and ultimately reshaping the global order
When it comes to the afflictions of the global economy, almost everyone-and especially Donald Trump-is quick to point the finger of blame at the state of international trade. But what about unconstrained capital flows? Unfettered capital has resulted in a string of financial and economic crises that have left our political systems strained and dialogue corroded. The once perceived benefits of openness have been cast to the wayside and the cracks in the global order can no longer be ignored.
Paola Subacchi argues that international cooperation and interdependence have become crippled. Regional restrictions will soon strengthen and a multipolar order will take shape, leading to a distinctly transformed economic landscape in which China challenges the dominance of the US dollar. Combining history, analysis, and prediction, this book provides penetrating insight into the challenges facing the international economic order.

Setting Free The Kites
From the author of the “lyrical and compelling” (USA Today) novel A Good American comes a powerful story of two friends and the unintended consequences of friendship, loss, and hope.
For Robert Carter, life in his coastal Maine hometown is comfortably predictable. But in 1976, on his first day of eighth grade, he meets Nathan Tilly, who changes everything. Nathan is confident, fearless, impetuous—and fascinated by kites and flying. Robert and Nathan’s budding friendship is forged in the crucible of two family tragedies, and as the boys struggle to come to terms with loss, they take summer jobs at the local rundown amusement park. It’s there that Nathan’s boundless capacity for optimism threatens to overwhelm them both, and where they learn some harsh truths about family, desire, and revenge.
Unforgettable and heart-breaking, Setting Free the Kites is a poignant and moving exploration of the pain, joy, and glories of young friendship.

Free Will
A BELIEF IN FREE WILL touches nearly everything that human beings value. It is difficult to think about law, politics, religion, public policy, intimate relationships, morality--as well as feelings of remorse or personal achievement--without first imagining that every person is the true source of his or her thoughts and actions. And yet the facts tell us that free will is an illusion. In this enlightening book, Sam Harris argues that this truth about the human mind does not undermine morality or diminish the importance of social and political freedom, but it can and should change the way we think about some of the most important questions in life.
Che
Kniha Che je v slovenskom prostredí doposiaľ najkomplexnejším dielom o slávnom latinskoamerickom revolucionárovi Ernestovi Che Guevarovi, z ktorého sa stal symbol revolćie a odporu proti americkému imperializmu. Spolu s Fidelom Castrom vybojoval kubánsku revolúciu (1956 – 1959), neskôr viedol partizánske oddiely aj v Afrike (1965) a Bolívii (1966 – 1967(, kde ho za asistencie americkej CIA zavraždili, čím však z neho urobili mučeníka pre ľavičiarov a národno-oslobodzovacie hnutia po celom svete. Stal sa inšpiráciou pre milióny mladých ľudí, pretože obetoval život za svoje ideály. Ľuboš Blaha v knihe opisuje búrlivý priebeh Guevarovho života s dôrazom na jeho politické myslenie. Analyzuje aj jeho dielo, osobitne teóriu foco a víziu nového človeka. Autor interpretuje Che Guevaru ako typického predstaviteľa tzv. romantickej ľavice, ktorú kladie do protikladu k tzv. technokratickej ľavici. Zároveň spochybňuje tézu, že Che Guevara bol predstaviteľom libertariánskej Novej ľavice, naopak, v knihe dokladá, že jeho politické názory patria do klasického marxisticko-leninského prúdu a jeho myšlienky možno impretovať aj ako súčasť širšieho ideového prúdu národnej ľavice.
Free Ride
Do you read newspapers online? Own a kindle? Download television programmes so you can skip the adverts? Over the last decade the traditional media - newspapers, music, television, films and books - have been systematically ransacked by digital organisations. Every media business has had to contend with the growing consumer demand for free online content and the Internet allows technology companies to reduce the price of content to zero by letting them build businesses with content copyrighted by others. MySpace attracted a user base larger than the population of most European countries, in part by letting its audience stream music, then sold itself to News Corporation for $580 million. But what are the consequences for cultural businesses? Is the result inevitable cultural impoverishment? "Free Ride" is the essential guide to a global marketplace in transition: where we are, how we got here and what we have to do to avoid cultural meltdown.

How Money Got Free
In the space of a few years, Bitcoin has gone from an idea ignored or maligned by almost everyone to an asset with a market cap of more than $12 billion. Venture capital firms, Goldman Sachs, the New York Stock Exchange, and billionaires such as Richard Branson and Peter Thiel have invested more than $1 billion in companies built on this groundbreaking technology. Bill Gates has even declared it 'better than currency'. The pioneers of Bitcoin were twenty-first-century outlaws - cryptographers, hackers, Free Staters, ex-cons and drug dealers, teenage futurists and self-taught entrepreneurs - armed with a renegade ideology and a grudge against big government and big banks. Now those same institutions are threatening to co-opt or curtail the impact of digital currency. But the pioneers, some of whom have become millionaires themselves, aren't going down without a fight. Sweeping and provocative, How Money Got Free reveals how this disruptive technology is shaping the debate around competing ideas of money and liberty, and what that means for our future.

Bombardování říše
Spojenecká bombardovací kampaň namířená proti válečné mašinérii nacistického Německa představuje ojedinělou událost v dějinách. Bylo to vůbec poprvé, kdy se vojenské síly mohly pokusit o destrukci takového rozsahu z nebeských výšin. A bylo to vůbec poprvé, kdy pokročilá technika dovolila použít tak ohromující množství bombardovacích letounů k dosažení tohoto cíle. Strategická bombardovací ofenzíva nepatřila k hojně fotografovaným událostem. Oficiální filmy a snímky letounů, personálu a náletů byly limitovány samotným faktem šílenství válečného života a neméně v případě RAF i faktem, že jeho nálety probíhaly převážně v noci. Používání osobních fotoaparátů a kamer bylo zakázáno, leč existovalo, a umožňuje následujícím generacím lepší vhled do toho, jak bombardovací perutě operovaly. Což je koneckonců i základním cílem této obrazové publikace – nastínit každodenní dramata tehdejších dní a roků. Roger A. Freeman prošel stovky oficiálních i soukromých kolekcí zachycujících britské a americké letectvo v akci. Více než 250 snímků ukazuje, jak byla vůbec poprvé válka vnesena přímo do srdce expandující třetí říše; vzdušnou ofenzívu, která pak zkrotila německé ambice; zredukovala odpor kladený spojeneckým pozemním silám a uspíšila podstatnou měrou konec konfliktu let 1939–1945 nazývaného druhou světovou válkou.
Now We Shall Be Entirely Free
By the Costa Award-winning author of Pure, a stunning historical novel with the grip of a thriller, written in richly evocative, luminous prose. One rain-swept February night in 1809, an unconscious man is carried into a house in Somerset. He is Captain John Lacroix, home from Britain's disastrous campaign against Napoleon's forces in Spain. Gradually Lacroix recovers his health, but not his peace of mind - he cannot talk about the war or face the memory of what happened in a village on the gruelling retreat to Corunna. After the command comes to return to his regiment, he sets out instead for the Hebrides, with the vague intent of reviving his musical interests and collecting local folksongs. Lacroix sails north incognito, unaware that he has far worse to fear than being dragged back to the army: a vicious English corporal and a Spanish officer are on his trail, with orders to kill. The haven he finds on a remote island with a family of free-thinkers and the sister he falls for are not safe, at all.
