It tells us in clear and simple terms what is wrong and what needs to be done about it. If we are going to do anything about our present economic problems, and also give the poor a chance at a better life, we will need to eliminate crony capitalism and restore an honest economy.Īlthough full of hair-raising stories, this book is also about solutions. But the problem extends far beyond Wall Street to every corner of America. Rather the Crash was caused by the longstanding Wall Street–Washington partnership. This situation was not caused, as many suppose, by the Crash of 2008. Free-market capitalism serves the interests of us all. Where Wall Street stops and Washington begins is impossible to say. Crony Capitalism is a companion volume to Hunter Lewis’ other outstanding work, published at the same time, Free Prices Now Together, the two volumes are a major contribution to the effort to correct the popular misperception that the problem plaguing the U.S. In reality it is the epicenter of American crony capitalism. Many people regard Wall Street as the epicenter of American capitalism. But increasingly it is America’s system as well. This is the system that prevailed in Russia after the fall of Communism. The people involved try to keep most of it concealed behind closed doors. When politicians need money, they also know whom to call. When private interests need a political favor, they know whom to call. I did find a few things not so great about this story (Mr. I did really enjoy the changes in Mae as she becomes increasingly entrenched in the world of The Circle. Our protagonist Mae gets hired as a Customer Experience employee, and as she strives to be successful at her job, gets sucked into the progression of the company. Basically “The Circle” is a large company akin to Facebook/Google that has become entrenched into the societal experience. It tells the story of what happens when we combine monopoly with our current frantic progression towards transparency, especially in social media circles. In quick summary, The Circle is (IMO) a fascinating dystopian novel. Do you have a rule like this? Let me know in the comments! The Book Otherwise, I find my imagination doesn’t get the same “workout”. This rule helps me keep out any preconceived notions of characters while I’m reading. I have this rule that I won’t watch a show or movie until I have read the book. I picked up The Circle by Dave Eggers at the end of 2017, because I really wanted to see the movie.

"Does he look like his father?" she asked. Nazanine Hozar's stunning debut gives us an unusually intimate view of a momentous time, through the eyes of a young woman coming to terms with the mysteries of her own past and future. The novel's heart-pounding, explosive finale sees the Ayatollah Khomeini's brutal regime seize power-even as Aria falls in love and becomes a mother herself. A university education opens a new world to Aria, and she is soon caught up in the excitement and danger of the popular uprising against the Shah that sweeps through the streets of Tehran. Over the next two decades, the orphan girl acquires three mother figures whose secrets she will only learn much later: reckless and self-absorbed Zahra, who abuses her wealthy and compassionate Fereshteh, who adopts her and mysterious Mehri, whose connection to Aria is both a blessing and a burden. He snatches the child up and takes her home, naming her Aria-the first step on an unlikely path from deprivation to privilege. One night, an illiterate army driver hears the pitiful cry of a baby abandoned in an alley and menaced by ravenous wild dogs. The government is unpopular and corrupt and under foreign sway. It is the 1950s in a restless Iran, a country rich in oil but deeply divided by class and religion. In 2011 a German-language collection of some of Papusza’s poems was published, translated and edited by Karin Wolff. Papusza’s work appeared in cultural and literary journals. He translated them into Polish and published three volumes of poetry – the first of which, Pieśni Papuszy – Papušakre gila (1956), includes verses in Polish and Romani. He wrote three books on the culture of Roma in Poland and persuaded Papusza to write down her verses. In the second half of the 1940s the writer and folklorist Jerzy Ficowski joined Papusza’s group. After the war she moved with her group to western Poland, first to Pomerania, then to Żagań and finally to Gorzów Wielkopolski, where she settled. During the Second World War the group hid in the forests of Volhynia, which the artist described in her work. Since she could not have children herself, she adopted a boy whom she named ‘Tarzan’. Probably at the age of 19, she married the brother of her stepfather, the harpist Dionizy Wajs. She learned to read and write autodidactically. Descended from the Polska Roma, she was the first Romani poet in Poland to publish under her own name.īefore the Second World War, she travelled with her group of Polska Roma through what is today Western Ukraine. She was born in Sitaniec, Poland on 17 August 1908. Bronisława Wajs (born Zielińska) is widely known under the pseudonym ‘Papusza’ (which means ‘doll’). Rachel’s made a career out of always a bridesmaid…but perhaps there’s a chance for her own trip down the aisle? If she’s a spy, she’s certainly the cutest one he’s ever seen.Īs the week’s worth of wedding events march along, Rachel and Camden are learning almost everything there is to know about each other. But the constant surveillance is also opening his eyes to things about Rachel that he likes. Convinced she’s a corporate spy out to tank his company, Camden’s not letting her out of his sight. High-tech entrepreneur Camden Lewis must know: Who is this gorgeous, intelligent, and mysterious woman? Too good to be real. If Rachel can keep the very handsome and slightly too interested best man at bay, that is. That means a paradise of new contacts, which could be a boon to her already booming business. Her next gig is a destination wedding-livestreamed and sponsored-for an Instagram influencer. Rachel Vinson is a bridesmaid for hire: part confidante, part wedding planner, and one hundred percent pretend BFF. From Sariah Wilson, the bestselling author of Roommaid, comes a captivating romantic comedy about what happens when a wedding party mixes business with romance.

The artwork here is just lovely, with appealingly stylized figures, and excellent use of color. The result is a distinct triumph! With a rhyming text suitable for younger children - "Red is the rug / Dad kneels on to pray, / facing toward Mecca, / five times a day" - and gorgeous artwork that will grab kids' attention and keep it, Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns: A Muslim Book of Colors offers a successful new variation on the classic color-concept-book.įrom the moment I opened the book, and saw the beautiful endpapers, decorated with an arabesque motif in vivid hues, I knew I was in for a visual treat. Pakistani-American author Hena Khan, whose The Night of the Moon was a lovely picture-book tribute to the Muslim month of Ramadan, teams up here with Iranian illustrator Mehrdokht Amini to produce a celebration of the role of Islam in a young girl's life. She Speaks for many a disenfranchised teenager while demonstrating the importance of Speaking up for oneself.įrom Fever 1793 ‘Where’s Polly?’ I asked as I dropped the bucket down the well. In this powerful novel, an utterly believeable hero*ine with a bitterly ironic voice delivers a blow to the hypocritical world of high school. But this time Melinda fights back, refuses to be silent, and thereby achieves a measure of vindication. Her healing process has just begun when she has another violent encounter with him. Only her art class offers any solace, and it is through her work on an art project that she is finally able to face what really happened at that terrible party: she was raped by an upperclassman, a guy who still attends Merryweather and is still a threat to her. As time pas*ses, she becomes increasingly isolated and practically stops talking altogether. She is friendless, outcast, because she busted an end of summer party by calling the cops, so now nobody will talk to her, let alone listen to her. The first ten lies they tell you in high school’ Speak up for yourself we want to know what you have to say.’ From the first moment of her freshman year at Merryweather High, Melinda knows that this is a big fat lie, part of the nonsense of high school. |
