Have you ever wondered why some nations rise to immense wealth while others remain stagnant? The Wealth of Nations is the most influential book on economics ever written. Adam Smith, the "father of modern economics," changed history by challenging 18th-century mercantile systems. He proposed a revolutionary idea: a nation's wealth is measured not by hoarded gold, but by the trade, production, and commerce generated by its people.

In 1960, Barry Goldwater set forth his brief manifesto in The Conscience of a Conservative. Written at the height of the Cold War and in the wake of America’s greatest experiment with big government, the New Deal, Goldwater’s message was not only remarkable, but radical. He argued for the value and importance of conservative principles—freedom, foremost among them—in contemporary political life. Using the principles he espoused in this concise but powerful book, Goldwater fundamentally altered the political landscape of his day—and ours.

Bloomsbury presents The Downfall of Money by Frederick Taylor, read by Gordon Griffin A hundred years ago, many theorists believed--just as they did at the beginning of our twenty-first century--that the world had reached a state of economic perfection, a never before seen human interdependence...

In this book, Ryan Avent explores how an unswerving confidence in systems of liberal democracy and free market capitalism—which he terms the “Modern Faith”—has left many Western countries struggling to deal with democratic backsliding and social dysfunction. Those seeking the certainty of another technocratic solution, however, are searching in the wrong place. The true foundation of our prosperity, Avent argues, is not in an ability to reason our way to better policies and institutions but rather lies in the nature and distribution of our beliefs.

L'ampleur démesurée de la dette publique menace-t-elle notre bien-être collectif? Jusqu'où ira-t-elle? Existe-t-il seulement une limite? Un grand pays, émetteur d'une monnaie de réserve importante comme les États-Unis, peut-il réellement faire faillite? Et si oui, à quoi cela ressemblerait-il? Depuis des décennies, responsables politiques, décideurs publics et investisseurs débattent de ces questions… sans parvenir à trouver de réponses claires.

Das Internet wird immer schlimmer, und das ist nicht nur ein Gefühl, sondern eine gezielte Strategie der Konzerne: Cory Doctorow, Bestsellerautor und Aktivist, zeigt, wie atemberaubend schnell und skrupellos Plattformen wie Facebook, Amazon oder Uber ihre Nutzer und Geschäftspartner schädigen. Und zwar in allen lebensnotwendigen Bereichen – vom Gesundheitswesen über Bildung bis zur Infrastruktur. Erst machen sie das Leben leichter, dann beuten sie User aus, danach Geschäftspartner – bis nur noch sie selbst profitieren. Doctorow nennt diese Entwicklung »Enshittification«.

The cost of living crisis is not just about prices. It’s about distance. Distance between work and security. Distance between decisions and consequences. Distance between the people struggling to stay afloat and the systems shaping their lives. This book is not an attack on capitalism. It does not argue that wealth is immoral, that success requires apology, or that higher taxes alone will fix what feels broken. Markets work. Wealth creation matters. Incentives shape behavior.

Would you love to have your mortgage paid in full? Who is helping you get there fast? The best mortgage isn’t the one with the lowest rate. It’s the one with a zero balance. In Canada, choosing a mortgage has long been reduced to one question: who offers the lowest rate? That single idea is costing you and your family hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of extra payments to the bank. This book challenges that belief. Instead of asking, “What rate did I get?” it asks a better question: “What did this mortgage really cost me?

Money is everywhere in our daily lives. It lurks in the swipe of a card at the grocery store, in looming student-loan debts, in the prices of things we want, and in our subconscious navigation of the modern world. Money is an invisible convenience that saves us, as a society, the hassle of bartering for goods and services—a reflection, in our pockets and on our phones, of the hard facts of scarcity and desire. Or is it something more?

Across thousands of years of human history, most cultures have placed explicit social and moral restrictions on economic growth, with charging interest scorned as benefiting from another's hardship and profit-making as divisive. So how did interest rates, monetary gains, and return on investment come to rule our modern world?
