A recent poll showed 43% of Americans think more socialism would be a good thing. What do these people not know? Socialism has killed millions, but it's now the ideology du jour on American college campuses and among many leftists. Reintroduced by leaders such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the ideology manifests itself in starry-eyed calls for free-spending policies like Medicare-for-all and student loan forgiveness. In The Case Against Socialism, Rand Paul outlines the history of socialism, from Stalin's gulags to the current famine in Venezuela. He tackles common misconceptions about the "utopia" of socialist Europe. As it turns out, Scandinavian countries love capitalism as much as Americans, and have, for decades, been cutting back on the things Bernie loves the most.Socialism's return is only possible because many Americans have forgotten the true dangers of the twentieth-century's deadliest ideology. Paul reveals the devastating truth: for every college student sporting a Che Guevara T-shirt, there's a Venezuelan child dying of starvation. Desperate refugees flee communist Cuba to escape oppressive censorship, rationed food and squalid hospitals, not "free" healthcare. Socialist dictatorships like the People's Republic of China crush freedom of speech and run massive surveillance states while masquerading as enlightened modern nations. Far from providing economic freedom, socialist governments enslave their citizens. They offer illusory promises of safety and equality while restricting personal liberty, tightening state power, sapping human enterprise and making citizens dependent on the dole.If socialism takes hold in America, it will imperil the fate of the world's freest nation, unleashing a plague of oppressive government control. The Case Against Socialism is a timely response to that threat and a call to action against the forces menacing American liberty.

Averting Climate Catastrophe Together addresses the necessity of meeting the Paris Agreement temperature target and explores what framework could enable climate action in an effective, efficient and equitable manner that is consistent with that goal. It also looks at the contribution of technological change within the economic system, including the feasibility of a global energy transition. Whether humanity can avoid catastrophic climate change does not seem to depend on the availability of technological solutions, but rather on international cooperation and coordination. Given the various sustainability issues, this book also considers if it is possible to derive a general approach to them. It argues that dealing with compatibility limits in complex systems requires a holistic change in the system structure. Therefore, systems science is discussed together with economics, technological change, and sustainable development. This book targets scientists and experts from different disciplines due to the interdisciplinary topic, but especially from environmental economics and energy technology; policy makers, as policy recommendations are provided to address climate change; as well as the general public due to the pressing common challenge of climate change and comprehensive efforts for sustainable development. Provides evidence based on climate science research on the necessity of meeting the Paris Agreement temperature target Highlights the feasibility of the global energy transition as one major option to mitigate climate change, also going into detail about the process of technological change Brings together systems science with economics, technological change, and sustainable development Derives a framework to meet the Paris Agreement temperature target, enabling coordinated climate action in an effective and efficient manner while pursuing distributive justice

Was our country's economic success before the Crash of '08 built on false pretenses? Did we simply borrow and spend too much, or was something else really going on?The conventional wisdom now accuses Wall Street and the mortgage industry of using predatory tactics to seduce homeowners. Meanwhile, average Americans are blamed for increasing consumption to unsustainable levels by borrowing recklessly. And the tax policies of the Reagan and Bush administrations are blamed for encouraging reckless risk-taking.Edward Conard disagrees. In an attempt to set the record straight he presents a fascinating new case for how the economy really works, why the U.S. has outperformed other countries, what caused the financial crisis, and what improvements might better protect our economy without damaging growth.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich BWL - Recht, Note: 1,7, Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg in Rheinbach, Veranstaltung: Soft Skills, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese wissenschaftliche Ausarbeitung befasst sich speziell mit der Frage, welche Rechtsform bei einer Unternehmensneugründung die sinnvollste ist. Im Detail werden die Merkmale der gängigsten Gesellschaftsformen innerhalb Deutschlands sowie deren Vor- und Nachteile analysiert und verglichen. Dabei wird der Gegenüberstellung von Kapital- und Personengesellschaften besondere Bedeutung geschenkt.Zunächst werden theoretische Begriffe voneinander abgegrenzt, um ein Grundverständnis der überhaupt in Deutschland vorhandenen Rechtsformen zu schaffen. Anschließend werden die einzelnen Gesellschaften genauer untersucht und deren jeweilige Auffälligkeiten und Eigenarten argumentativ aufgeführt. Hierbei beschränkt sich die Ausarbeitung auf die Gesellschaftsformen, welche hierzulande am weitesten verbreitet sind. Im Anschluss werden die wichtigsten Aspekte genannt, die generell bei der Wahl einer Rechtsform zu berücksichtigen sind. Das Hauptziel dieser Arbeit ist es, durch das Abwägen von Pro- und Contra-Argumenten zu untersuchen, ob es wirklich die eine ¿perfekte Rechtsform¿ gibt. Infolgedessen wird ein grober Überblick über die Thematik geschaffen und daraus resultierend eine Entscheidungshilfe für eine der möglichen Gesellschaftsformen abgeleitet. Bevor die genauere Untersuchung der einzelnen Gesellschaften beginnt, werden zur besseren Übersicht als erstes die beiden Oberbegriffe ¿Personengesellschaft¿ und ¿Kapitalgesellschaft¿ voneinander getrennt und erläutert.

"This is the story of the crayon.

Readers will come away feeling a greater appreciation of the human story behind the crayon and the Ohio town that produced more crayons and paints than anywhere in the world"--

A scintillating conversation on capitalism and crisis from two of our most incisive political philosophers

"The definitive history of the effect of the income tax on the economy. Ever since 1913, when the United States first imposed the income tax via constitutional amendment, the top rate of that tax has determined the fate of the American economy. When the top rate has been high, as in the late 1910s, the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1970s, the response of those with money and capital has been to curtail real economic activity in favor of protecting assets and income streams. Huge declines have come to the economy in these circumstances. The most brutal example was the Great Depression itself. When the top tax rate has been cut and held at reduced levels--as in the 1920s, the 1960s, in the long boom of the 1980s and 1990s, and briefly in the late 2010s--astonishing reversals have occurred. The rich have brought their money out of hiding and put it to work in the economy. The huge swings in the American economy since 1913 have had an inverse relationship to income tax rates."--EBSCOhost e-book landing page.

First published in 1899, The Amateur Cracksman was the first collection of stories detailing the exploits and intrigues of gentleman thief A. J. Raffles in late Victorian England. Raffles was E. W. Hornung's most famous character. Popular in its day, the book led to three later works: The Black Mask and A Thief in the Night, both collections of short stories, and Mr. Justice Raffles, a complete novel. In public a popular sportsman, in private a cunning burglar with a weakness for valuable jewelery, Arthur Raffles, with the help of his side-kick Bunny Manders, always manages to thwart the investigations of Scotland Yard's Inspector Mackenzie.
