Flat Broke in the Free Market: How Globalization Fleeced Working PeopleGrowing up in an African American working class family in the Midwest, Jon Jeter watched the jobs undergirding a community disappear.

Growing up in an African American working-class family in the Midwest, Jon Jeter watched the jobs undergirding a community disappear. As a journalist for the Washington Post (twice a Pulitzer Prize finalist), he reported on the freemarket reforms of the IMF and the World Bank, which in a single generation created a transnational underclass.Led by the United States, nations around the world stopped making things and starting buying them, imbibing a risky cocktail of deindustrialization, privatization, and anti-inflationary monetary policy. Jeter gives the consequences of abstract economic policies a human face, and shows how our chickens are coming home to roost in the form of the subprime mortgage scandal, the food crisis, and the fraying of traditional social bonds (marriage). From Rio de Janeiro to Shanghai to Soweto to Chicago s South Side and Washington, DC, Jeter shows us how the economic prescriptions of the Washington Consensus have only deepened poverty while countries like Chile and Venezuela have flouted the conventional wisdom and prospered."

Even a kitten has growing problems
Format: Hardcover
I loved this story 70 years ago and wanted to pass it on to my grandchildren who just got a new kitten. They are old enough to read it on their own, and they can see how even kittens can have problems, but all is well in the end .

Natural, Gentle, and Smells Great
Style: Most Popular
I picked these up to try something more natural, and I love them. They lather well, feel gentle on the skin, and leave it feeling clean without drying it out. The scents are really nice too. They feel like good quality bars.
