They were card counters and misfits who arrived in Las Vegas determined to make their fortune. When blackjack got too easy--and they got kicked out of too many casinos--they aimed for bigger prey. Could they predict a roulette wheel's outcome by sight alone? Use computers to \"solve\" poker? Anticipate game-day outcomes better than veteran bookies? Crunch enough numbers to predict which horse would come in first? Using innovative strategies and technology that was decades ahead of its time, they did all that and more. They became pioneers of \"advantage play.\" Their pursuit of an edge would take them from the Las Vegas Strip to the grand casinos of Northern Europe to the sprawling, 85,000-capacity racetracks of Hong Kong. For more than thirty years they faced down angry pit bosses, violent mafiosos, bankruptcies, nights in foreign jails, lawsuits, and personal betrayals. They learned that the only thing harder than reaching the pinnacle of gambling is staying there.

It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organize our politics. Sven Beckert, author of the Bancroft Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eEmpire of Cotton\u003c\/i\u003e, places the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework, tracing its history during the past millennium and across the world. An epic achievement, his book takes us into merchant businesses in Aden and car factories in Turin, onto the terrifyingly violent sugar plantations in Barbados, and within the world of women workers in textile factories in today's Cambodia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCapitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from trading communities across Asia, Africa, and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. But then it burst onto the world scene, as a powerful alliance between European states and merchants propelled them, and their economic logic, across the oceans. This, Beckert shows, was modern capitalism's big bang, and one of its epicenters was the slave labor camps of the Caribbean. This system, with its hierarchies that haunt us still, provided the liftoff for the radical transformations of the Industrial Revolution. Fueled by vast productivity increases along with coal and oil, capitalism pulled down old ways of life to crown itself the defining force of the modern world. This epic drama, shaped by state-backed institutions and imperial expansion, corresponded at no point to an idealized dream of free markets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on archives on six continents, \u003ci\u003eCapitalism\u003c\/i\u003e locates important modes of agency, resistance, innovation, and ruthless coercion everywhere in the world, opening the aperture from heads of state to rural cultivators. Beckert shows that despite the dependence on expansion, there always have been, and are still, areas of human life that the capitalist revolution has yet to reach. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy chronicling capitalism's global history, Beckert exposes the reality of the system that now seems simply \"natural.\" It is said that people can more easily imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. If there is one ultimate lesson in this extraordinary book, it's how to leave that behind. Though cloaked in a false timelessness and universality, capitalism is, in reality, a recent human invention. Sven Beckert doesn't merely tote up capitalism's debits and credits. He shows us how to look through and beyond it to imagine a different and larger world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSven Beckert \u003c\/b\u003eis the Laird Bell Professor of History at Harvard University.

You can't hoard solar energy or hold it in reserves--it's available to all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere's no guarantee we can make this change in time, but there is a hope--in McKibben's eyes, our best hope for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun, every day, as the star that fuels our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51980201525543,"sku":"9781324106234","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1002\/2079\/7223\/files\/jy1oyGIpAY9781324106234.webp?v=1788351761"},{"product_id":"1929-inside-the-greatest-crash-in-wall-street-history-and-how-it-shattered-a-nation-hardcover","title":"1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History--And How It Shattered a Nation - Hardcover","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAndrew Ross Sorkin\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e#1 \u003ci\u003eNEW YORK TIMES\u003c\/i\u003e BESTSELLER \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"It is one of the best narrative histories I've read.\"\u003cbr\u003e--\u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eNotable Book of 2025 - One of Barack Obama's Favorite Books of 2025 - Named a BEST BOOK OF 2025 by \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTIME\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Economist\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAir Mail\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBloomberg\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFast Company\u003c\/i\u003e, Katie Couric Media, and \u003ci\u003eHistory\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eToo Big to Fail\u003c\/i\u003e, \"the definitive history of the 2008 banking crisis,\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e) comes a riveting narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history--one with ripple effects that still shape our society today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003e1929\u003c\/i\u003e, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation.

Through the strategic avoidance of traditional income, leveraging of investments and debt, and exploitation of rules designed to promote charitable giving, America's wealthy do more than just pay less than their share; they remove themselves from the tax system entirely.

Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people. An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes.

Her colleagues called her \"Mary Manifesto\" because she could whip up an emotional ad campaign like no one else. Need someone to channel Michael Jordan so people will line up and buy his latest sneaker? That's Lu. Need to convince a cranky teen heartthrob to take his shirt off for an ad designed to get teenage girls across America to swoon? That's her too. It was a regular workday when she made same-day cross-country trips between New York and LA to satisfy the CEOs who counted on her to pump up their profits--ignoring her own voice and using it in service of their company's bottom line. Chekowsky was great at her job because she'd trained for it her whole life. She'd gotten the memo about how worthless her body was at moving products--because she was the one who wrote it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As someone whose body was always far from what the world held up as ideal, Chekowsky grew up trying to find a place where she could fit in. Everywhere she looked, the images she saw were designed to make girls feel terrible. The only person who could make her feel worthy was her larger-than-life mom; but even that was complicated when her mother got sick with cancer when she was just eleven years old. For years, Chekowsky tried to look past what it felt like to be underestimated by her male colleagues, the 14-hour work days spent satisfying the demands of the latest celebrity\/boss\/pop star\/social media app, and her work that required her to, every day, perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards, before she went home and binged alone on bags of takeout. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDon't Buy What I'm Selling\u003c\/i\u003e is a dishy peek behind the curtain of a billion-dollar industry, but it's also the journey of one former ad executive who lived a life of contradictions--until she couldn't anymore. With honesty and heart, interspersed with behind-the-scenes looks at the real-world tactics brands use to prey on consumers, it is perfect for readers of Roxane Gay, Aubrey Gordon, and Lori Gottlieb--and anyone who's bought a product from an Instagram ad and instantly regretted it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLu Chekowsky [she\/they] is a writer and Emmy Award-winning creative director.

After years of refusing to build sufficient housing, America has a national housing crisis. After years of limiting immigration, we don't have enough workers. Despite decades of being warned about the consequences of climate change, we haven't built anything close to the clean-energy infrastructure we need. Ambitious public projects are finished late and over budget--if they are ever finished at all. The crisis that's clicking into focus now has been building for decades--because we haven't been building enough. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbundance \u003c\/i\u003eexplains that our problems today are not the results of yesteryear's villains. Rather, one generation's solutions have become the next gener-ation's problems. Rules and regulations designed to solve the problems of the 1970s often prevent urban-density and green-energy projects that would help solve the problems of the 2020s. Laws meant to ensure that government considers the consequences of its actions have made it too difficult for government to act consequentially. In the last few decades, our capacity to see problems has sharpened while our ability to solve them has diminished. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProgress requires facing up to the institutions in life that are not working as they need to. It means, for liberals, recognizing when the government is failing. It means, for conservatives, recognizing when the government is needed. In a book exploring how we can move from a liberalism that not only protects and pre-serves but also \u003ci\u003ebuilds\u003c\/i\u003e, Klein and Thompson trace the political, economic, and cultural barriers to progress and propose a path toward a politics of abundance.

Hayek, the collectivist idea of empowering government with increasing economic control would lead not to a utopia but to the horrors of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published by the University of Chicago Press on September 18, 1944, \u003ci\u003eThe Road to Serfdom\u003c\/i\u003e garnered immediate, widespread attention. The first printing of 2,000 copies was exhausted instantly, and within six months more than 30,000 books were sold. In April 1945, \u003ci\u003eReader's Digest\u003c\/i\u003e published a condensed version of the book, and soon thereafter the Book-of-the-Month Club distributed this edition to more than 600,000 readers. A perennial best seller, the book has sold 400,000 copies in the United States alone and has been translated into more than twenty languages, along the way becoming one of the most important and influential books of the century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith this new edition, \u003ci\u003eThe Road to Serfdom\u003c\/i\u003e takes its place in the series \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Works of F. A. Hayek.\u003c\/i\u003e The volume includes a foreword by series editor and leading Hayek scholar Bruce Caldwell explaining the book's origins and publishing history and assessing common misinterpretations of Hayek's thought. Caldwell has also standardized and corrected Hayek's references and added helpful new explanatory notes. Supplemented with an appendix of related materials ranging from prepublication reports on the initial manuscript to forewords to earlier editions by John Chamberlain, Milton Friedman, and Hayek himself, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eThe Road to Serfdom\u003c\/i\u003e will be the definitive version of Hayek's enduring masterwork.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eF.
