Since the Financial Crisis of 2008, there has been and continues to
be a debate about the proper role of the free market in the United
States and beyond. On one side there are those who defend the free
market as a method to provide both wealth and democratic
legitimacy; while on the other side are thinkers who reject the
orthodoxy of the free market and call for a greater role of
government in society to correct its failures. But what is needed
in this debate is a return to the vantage point of the human
condition to better understand both the free market and our role in
it. The Free Market and the Human Condition explores what the human
condition can reveal to us about the free market its strengths, its
limits, and its weaknesses and, in turn, what the free market can
illuminate about the essence of the human condition. Because the
human condition is multifaceted, this book has adopted an
interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon the disciplines of
philosophy, theology, archeology, literature, sociology, political
science, criminal justice, and education. Since it is impossible
for one to know all aspects of the human condition, the book
consists of contributors who approach the topic from their
respective disciplines, thereby providing an accumulated picture of
the free market and the human condition. Although it does not claim
to provide a comprehensive account of the human condition as
situated in the free market, The Free Market and the Human
Condition transcends the current climate of debate about the free
market and provides a way forward in our understanding about the
role that free market plays in our society."

second chance story-from the series that delivers "both emotional
intensity and lush sensuality, and vivacious writing enhanced by
ample measures of wit." (Booklist, Starred Review) Society darling
Lady Georgiana Arlington spent years crafting her image as the
ideal wife, but since her husband's unexpected death, she has lived
mostly for herself while making desperately needed improvements to
the businesses she inherited --and gaining a mysterious enemy in
the process. With few people she can trust, Georgiana must rely on
Captain Henry Harris, a former fortune-hunter turned private
investigator who once claimed to love the woman beneath her
carefully polished veneer. Time and experience have left a heavy
mark on the dashing young officer she used to know, but she finds
herself even more drawn to the dark and complicated man he has
become. When Captain Harris left London eight years ago, he was
heartbroken and nearly penniless. Now he has returned as a
decorated naval hero with everything he could ever want. Everything
except Lady Georgiana... As a careless young woman, she once
shredded his heart when she married another man. But now she is as
alluring as ever, with a newfound tenacity he can't help but
admire. And the more he uncovers, the more nothing is as it seems,
especially the woman he once swore to hate forever.
Fans of Netflix's Bridgerton series will love this enchanting story
of a spy disguised as a charming rake who finds himself entangled
with the most intriguing bluestocking-from the series that delivers
"both emotional intensity and lush sensuality, and vivacious
writing enhanced by ample measures of wit". (Booklist, Starred
Review) Rafe Davies might seem like just another charming rake, but
in reality, he is one of the crown's most valuable agents. As
relentless as he is reckless, Rafe has never met a woman he
couldn't win or a mission he couldn't complete. And when he
encounters the intriguing yet prickly Miss Sylvia Sparrow, while on
assignment at a Scottish house party, he's determined to charm her.
Though most women would be thrilled to catch the eye of a tall,
dark, and dangerously handsome man, Sylvia is through with that
sort of adventure. She trusted the wrong man once and paid for it
dearly. The fiery bluestocking is resolved to avoid him, but a
chance encounter between them reveals the normally irreverent
Rafe's unexpected depths-and a palpable attraction that's
impossible to ignore.
In this irresistible historical romance debut, a seasoned spy sets
out to rescue the childhood friend he once loved from a
reputation-destroying rumor--only to discover that she is actually
the source. After enduring five interminable seasons, Lottie
Carlisle has had enough of shallow London society, her boring
little life, and her uncle Alfred's meddling. When he demands she
accept a proposal by the end of next season or else he will choose
a husband for her, she devises a plan: create a scandal shocking
enough to make her unmarriageable and spend her spinsterhood far
enough away in the countryside where no one will ever recognize
her. Alec Gresham hasn't seen Lottie since he left his childhood
friend without a word five years ago. So he's not surprised to find
her furious when he appears on her doorstep. Especially bearing the
news he brings: her uncle is dying, her blasted reputation is still
intact, and Lottie must return home. As they make the journey back
to her family estate, it becomes increasingly clear that the last
five years hasn't erased their history, nor their explosive
chemistry. Can Lottie look past her old heartache and trust Alec,
or will his secrets doom their relationship once again?
