![]() ![]() The only way the planners can reallocate resources, including labor, is by the use of force. Planning that takes the place of the markets robs the individual of this freedom of choice. The market results in an efficient use of resources with output production in accordance with the preferences of consumers. ![]() This happens automatically through changes in wages and prices without direction from a commissar. A market allocates resources, one of which is labor, to different uses in response to market conditions. One of the choices and decisions regards the choice of occupation and employment. Individuals have the freedom to make their own choices and decisions. A democracy is based on individual freedoms. Hayek is a powerful analysis of how the use of economic planning leads to the evils of totalitarianism when economic planning replaces the markets. ![]() ![]() ![]() Meticulously researched and scrupulously sourced, filled with headline-making revelations, Clinton Cash raises serious questions of judgment, of possible indebtedness to an array of foreign interests, and ultimately, of fitness for high public office. In this blockbuster exposé, Schweizer merely presents the troubling facts he’s uncovered. Schweizer reveals the Clinton’s troubling dealings in Kazakhstan, Colombia, Haiti, and other places at the “wild west” fringe of the global economy. In Clinton Cash, he follows the Clinton money trail, revealing the connection between their personal fortune, their “close personal friends,” the Clinton Foundation, foreign nations, and some of the highest ranks of government. In his New York Times bestselling books Extortion and Throw Them All Out, Schweizer detailed patterns of official corruption in Washington that led to congressional resignations and new ethics laws. Now, Peter Schweizer shows who is really behind those enormous payments. Where did the money come from?

It isn’t often that you read a book and do not want it to end. I was reminded of Janice Pariat’s Nine Chambered Heart which constructs a character through the eyes of those she interacts with, ultimately making us question ‘how well do we know a person?’ The titular character does not get a POV in the strict sense - she writes letters though - and we get glimpses into her through her interaction with her friends. Review of The Perfect World of Miwako Sumida Having loved Rainbirds by Clarissa Goenawan, I was eager to peep into the life of Miwako Sumida - her perfect world, no less. I love the surreal, languid style in Murakami’s The Wind up bird Chronicle, the soft urgency in Banana Yoshimoto’s writing ( The Kitchen is wonderful), the bloody, cosy mysteries of Seishi Yokomizo, and the darker thrillers of Keigo Higashino. A familiarity hiding in the books set there - no matter how different the writing style may be - that makes me feel attached. Even though I have never been to Japan, they feel familiar to me - a home I can visit through fiction. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the suggestions feel like mountains of difficulty made simple: but then that’s what manifestos are for. They should never tell their daughter not to do something “because she’s a girl” they shouldn’t encourage her to aim at getting married, as if it were an achievement in itself. ![]() She should share childcare equally, and not thank her husband for changing their daughter’s nappy – nor complain about the way he does it, either. Ijeawele must be a full person and not let motherhood alone define her she should go back to work if she wants to, and love “the confidence and self-fulfilment that come with doing and earning”. Her friend Ijeawele wrote to ask how she should bring her baby daughter up a feminist, and in response, after the right hesitations – “it felt like too huge a task” and “she will still turn out to be different from what you hoped, because sometimes life just does its thing” – Adichie made a list of 15 suggestions. ![]() I t would be difficult not to like this little book, which shines with all Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s characteristic warmth and sanity and forthrightness. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author.

The owner, Ephraim Lapham, no longer takes much interest in running the silversmith shop and so Johnny is left in charge, with authority over the other two apprentices, Dove and Dusty. Johnny Tremain is a 14 year old silversmith apprentice living in Boston during the 1770s. Working closely with Paul Revere and the revolutionists, Johnny must learn to overcome the obstacles in his path through his courage and determination and help prepare Boston for the battle ahead. ![]() Johnny Tremain tells of the times in Boston just before the American Revolution through the eyes of Johnny Tremain, a young silversmith who is drawn into the war after meeting Rab, a daring young member of the Sons of ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The ending leave the question of what the Time Tombs are open, and in that fashion it begs for a sequel, but with the tales of the pilgrims having so much weight in the story, that the book also works fine as a standalone. This is the stuff that leaves you thinking and wondering long after you have put down the book. His story is very interesting and he manages to weave philosophical and religious subjects into the story without making it stiff and stuffy. Simmons writes in a deep and full language that reads as a dream. Lets get one thing clear this novel is a masterpiece! I can fully understand why it won a Hugo Award. Most of the book consists of these tales. Along the way some of the pilgrims get to tell their tale, about why they where chosen to this mission and what the Tombs mean to them. A broad canvased, hugely imaginative and exciting SF epic, the books draw on the works of Keats and provide a uniquely intelligent and literary approach with cutting edge science, compelling characterisation and edge-of-your-seat. Hyperion is the tale of a bunch of pilgrims, on their way to the Time Tombs on remote planet of Hyperion. The Hyperion books are credited with single-handedly reinventing and reinvigorating SF in the 1990s. This is the first book that I've read by Dan Simmons, but definitely not the last - actually I've already started on the sequel. Hyperion is a science fiction novel by the author Dan Simmons. And on the planet of Hyperion, where the story first began, the final revelation will be delivered-an apocalyptic message that unlocks the secrets of existence and the fate of humankind in the galaxy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Little Blue Truck feels, well, blue when he delivers valentine after valentine but receives nary a one. The author’s note touches on climate change, the illegal ivory trade, and conservation efforts, but the highly emotive framing of the story through the memories of a bewildered baby elephant emphasizes the impact of lines such as “ ‘in Africa,’ I say softly, ‘there were bad people,’ ” without offering readers a nuanced understanding of the broader context that drives poaching. Applegate deftly tempers themes of grief and loss with compassion and humor as Ruby finds her place in the herd. Goofy, playful, and mischievous Ruby is fully dimensional, as she has shown her bravery during the many hardships of her young life. ![]() An elephant glossary and Castelao’s charming, illustrated guide to elephant body language help immerse readers in Ruby’s world. The unexpected arrival of someone from Ruby’s past life on the savanna revives memories both warmly nostalgic and deeply traumatic. ![]() Ruby was born in an unspecified part of Africa, later ending up on display in the mall, where she met Ivan, Bob, and Julia. Luckily, she can confide in her Uncle Ivan, who is next door in Gorilla World, and Uncle Bob, the dog who lives nearby with human friend Julia. She’s apprehensive about her Tuskday, a rite of passage for young elephants when she’ll give a speech in front of the rest of the herd. ![]() In this follow-up to 2020’s The One and Only Bob, Ruby the elephant is still living at Wildworld Zoological Park and Sanctuary. ![]() ![]() Although they all are wrapped up in their own problems, the stories are a great success. The three harness their individual talents, Oscar the writer, Win the illustrator and April publisher to create a series of zines.
