Take a critical view of the institutions that affect our everyday lives with this extended essay. The most important of these is the modern-day corporation, which continues to resist social control despite an ability to adapt to the environment like no other entity in human history.

Corporations continue to explode with power, and religious, educational, and governmental organizations are looking to them as examples. An increasing number of entities are learning how to conduct themselves by looking at their corporate counterparts, and, as a result, they're no longer fulfilling their true purposes.

Author Francis X. Healy Jr. examines the implications of these disturbing developments. Discover why institutions continue to miss expectations, why society suffers as a result of corporate models, and how money and power interact in problematic ways.

The pursuit of money and power is stifling the true purposes of institutions with honorable objectives. Many groups that once carried at least a facade of being above it all are now stuck in the moneypower continuum; if something doesn't change soon, the consequences will be devastating.

The story of Tasmania's most controversial forestry giant, the corruption that gave it power and the forces that brought it down. At its peak, Gunns Ltd had a market value of $1 billion, was listed on the ASX 200, was the largest employer in the state of Tasmania and was its largest private landowner. Most of its profits came from woodchipping, mainly from clear-felled old-growth forests. A pulp mill in Tasmania's Tamar Valley was central to its expansion plans. Gunns' collapse in 2012 was a major national news story, as was the arrest of its CEO for insider trading. Quentin Beresford illuminates for the first time the dark corners of the Gunns empire and how it was embedded in an anti-democratic and corrupt system of power supported by both main parties, business and unions. Simmering opposition to Gunns and all it stood for ramped up into an environmental campaign not seen since the Franklin Dam protests. Fearless and forensic in its analysis, the book shows that Tasmania's decades-long quest to industrialise nature fails every time.

Why do we seem to have so little money? Why is our nation 17 trillion dollars in debt? How much IS $17,000,000,000,000? If that debt were to be divided equally among every U.S. citizen we would all pay more than $45,000 in debt To whom is this debt owed? Some of it is owed to China and other nations. The majority is owed to the Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy and President Lincoln both attempted to place the U.S. Congress in charge of our money. Both were assassinated. We seem to make no connection between their economic policies and their assassination. The U.S. Constitution states clearly that the government is to issue our money. Why does our money come to us in the form of a Federal Reserve Note? a debt the U.S. Government owes to the Federal Reserve Bank? A large part of our debt is war related. The two major World Wars in the last 100 years resulted in huge multinational central banks that control the economy of much of the world. The book looks at the social teachings of two Popes (Leo XIII and John Paul II). They both spoke strongly against exploitation of workers and unjust economic systems. Originally the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths all outlawed usury. Today only the Muslim faith continues to ban usury. The book looks at Native American philosophy which taught that no one may own the resources of the earth, they are a common WEALTH, They exist for the benefit of all the people. It mentions Estonia and Bolivia have passed legislation which states clearly that these elements are common WEALTH and must be used for the benefit of all. The book also looks at many groups of people who are working to make the world a little better for us all. It ends with a request for more people to help make the world a little better for us all.

2012 Reprint of Original 1951 Edition. Two Volumes bound in one. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The purpose of these volumes is to offer further evidence of the authors thesis that business leaders are the controlling element in economic development because they "determine its spirit and its strategy by making its major decisions." This volume and its predecessor are first rate history. Bank management, private banking, investment banking and competition in the money market, topics barely mentioned in other banking histories, are discussed with fine precision. The author has an unusual command of the foreign literature on money and banking and continually sees American practices against a world background. Not only for bankers, both theoretical and practical, but for all students of economic history, "The Molding of American Banking" is required history.

In Portland, Oregon, coffee is more than just a beverage, it is an essential part of the city's character. Under oft-gray skies, independent roasters and cafes flourish, providing a wide array of styles and tastes for discerning Portlanders to choose from. The celebrated Portland coffee culture attracts visitors from around the world, who come to explore the diverse options and find inspiration for bringing great coffee to their own cities. In Caffeinated PDX: How Portland became the Best Coffee City in America, author Will Hutchens tells the stories of the people and companies that pushed Portland to the forefront of the specialty coffee scene. He travels around the city, talking to a wide variety of coffee professionals and capturing their passion for roasting, selling, and brewing some of the finest coffees in the world. He attends cuppings, goes to barista school, and volunteers at barista competitions to better understand what's so special about specialty coffee. Using Portland as the model, Hutchens also explains the phenomenon known as third-wave coffee, a worldwide movement to improve coffee quality from origin to cup. Full of anecdotes and insights into the minds of Portland's coffee leaders, as well as some lesser-known personalities, Caffeinated PDX is an enjoyable read for people who love coffee, for people who love Portland, or for anyone who appreciates a good story.
