Money, Banking, and Financial Markets

Land and Liberty
A comprehensive history of Henry George and the single tax movement.In 1912, Sun Yat-sen announced the birth of the Chinese Republic and promised that it would be devoted to the economic welfare of all its people. In shaping his plans for wealth redistribution, he looked to an American now largely forgotten in the United States: Henry George. In Land and Liberty, Christopher William England excavates the lost history of one of America's most influential radicals and explains why so many activists were once inspired by his proposal to tax landed wealth. Drawing on the private papers of a network of devoted believers, Land and Liberty represents the first comprehensive account of this important movement to nationalize land and expropriate rent. Beginning with concerns about rising rents in the 1870s and ending with the establishment of New Deal policies that extended public control over land, natural resources, and housing, "Georgism" served as a catalyst for reforms intended to make the nation more democratic. Many of these concerns remain relevant today, including the exploitation of natural resources, rising urban rent, and wealth inequality. At a time when class divisions sparked fears that capitalism and democracy were incompatible, hopes of building a social welfare state using the rents of idle landlords revitalized the middle class's conviction that democracy and liberty could be reconciled. Against steep odds, George made land nationalization vital to the politics of a nation dominated by small farmers and helped push liberalism leftward through his calls for collective rights to land and natural resources.

Mis-Inflation
Everyone's talking about inflation, and everyone seems remarkably misinformed.In this conversational book, Douglas Wilson takes all his burning economic questions and pitches them to David L. Bahnsen. Doug starts their discussion with this one: Conservatives have been prophesying hyperinflation for generations now...so where is it?Readers get to follow along as David's answer to this question exposes false assumptions on both the right and the left (yes, even some of Doug's). More questions follow: The inflation-hawk approach to public policy screams about creating inflation without realizing that that's what government policies intend to do--they're just terrible at it, as David shows. And those on the left continue to suffocate economic growth as they pursue their own counterproductive goals. But what both sides miss is that the best solution against inflation, deflation, and stagnation is found in enterprise. And it's in their discussion of wealth creation that Doug and David begin to sketch a vision of how a faithful, successful nation might handle its people and their money.

Inflation
Steve Forbes, Nathan Lewis, and Elizabeth Ames reveal what is behind the inflationary storm that is wreaking havoc on American pocketbooks.Inflation: What It Is, Why It's Bad, and How to Fix It explains what's behind the worst inflationary storm in more than forty years-one that is dominating the headlines and shaking Americans by their pocketbooks. The cost-of-living explosion since the COVID pandemic has raised alarms about a possible return of a 1970's-style "Great Inflation." Some observers even fear a descent into the kind of Weimar-style hyperinflation that has torn apart so many nations. Is this true? If so, what should be done? How should we prepare for the future?Inflation answers these and other questions in an engaging discussion that draws on the singular expertise of Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Media, acclaimed for his insights on money and the economy; Nathan Lewis, internationally renowned expert on money and taxation; and author and journalist Elizabeth Ames.The authors say that today's problems can be solved by discarding longstanding beliefs that helped bring on the current crisis. They include the notion that central banks can create prosperity through artificially creating money "out of thin air," and also that economic "stability" requires "a little inflation." Such ideas for decades have been Holy Writ in official Washington. Inflation shows why they are misguided. The book also explains why the current rage for heedless money-printing advocated by left-wing advocates of so-called Modern Monetary Theory is likely to lead the nation--and the world--down the road to disaster.Packed with examples from the headlines and from history Inflation is a unique, real-world exploration of the subject that addresses everyday concerns of Americans under siege by rising prices, including steps you should take to protect your wealth.Inflation is essential reading for everyone seeking to navigate these tumultuous times.

Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit
Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit is a groundbreaking work of economic theory, distinguishing between risk, which is by nature measurable and quantifiable, and uncertainty, which can be neither be measured nor quantified.We begin with an analysis of the functions of profit, risk and uncertainty in the economy. Frank H. Knight introduces his work with a discussion on profit and how there are conflicts about its nature between various economic theorists. As the title implies, the author's chief concern is the interplay between making a profit, incurring risk, and determining if there is uncertainty.Risks are different from uncertainty in that they can be measured and protected against. For example a location chosen for a factory or farm may have a measured risk of flooding in a given year. Businesses, insurers and investors alike can be made aware of this, and behave according to the quantified risk.For Knight, the larger business is able to mitigate the inherent uncertainties of, for example, launching a new product. Their financial resources are superior, and they can invest in market research and advertising, that a product may avoid failure and go on to deliver a profit for the company. Smaller companies and individual entrepreneurs therefore bear greater risks, but may reap proportionally greater rewards if their business eventually profits.Knight goes on to make the stunning observation that entrepreneurs and businesses receive monetary compensation not necessarily for innovating, but for bearing with uncertainties inherent to running a business. He also discusses the existence of the state: taxation policies, regulations and political instability can result in an uncertain environment that makes business both large and small harder to conduct.The author demonstrates an immense and disciplined knowledge and economic theory. He steadfastly presents his ideas with care not to deviate or contradict himself, that the reader may distinguish the interaction between the profit motive, quantifiable risk, and various uncertainties.
Finance Tips and Tricks for Divorcees
This handbook will serve as a guide to help in the divorce process and the financial hurdles you may be faced with. This means that you must be involved, to ensure you reach the ideal outcome. You might need a lawyer and financial advice to assist you through the divorce steps and procedures. People believe lawyers will protect them from family law litigation, but this is not always the case. You owe it to yourself (and to any children you may have) to hire the best lawyer you can find within your budget. The system often lacks safeguards to make sure that all necessary legal work is for the client's best interest. Even when a lawyer spends many hours on your case, they are not always likely to advance the matter to assist you in the best manner. We hope this book will help you with your expectations when dealing with the legal fraternity and financial system. In doing so, you will avoid costly mistakes and make sure a satisfactory outcome.
The Chinese Capital Markets
In the past China's capital market featured prevalent state ownership and a weak legal environment. It has, however, achieved very substantial development in the past two decades. China has surpassed Japan as the world's second-largest stock market and has also emerged as a leading player in green bonds and Fintech markets. The chapters in this book provide insights on Chinese listed firms and advance the understanding of China's unique institutions. Some important questions are covered including the governance role of foreign investors in partially privatized firms, the financial implications of political connections, the "Chinese model" of commercial banks and regulatory reforms that promote the marketization of the stock markets, among others. These studies have important implications for other emerging economies, on the recent China-US trade conflicts and about the Trump administration's complaints about the role of the Chinese government in capital markets.This book selectively includes the most influential articles from two special issues of The European Journal of Finance, which were based on selections of papers presented at a series of conferences on the Chinese Capital Markets.
