<div>“[The authors] argue that with more integration and cooperation between businesses, governments and communities, a more sustainable economy is possible.” —The Environmental Magazine We find ourselves between a rock and a hot place—compelled by the intertwined forces of peak oil and climate change to reinvent our economic life at a much more local and regional scale. The Resilience Imperative argues for a major SEE (social, ecological, economic) change as a prerequisite for replacing the paradigm of limitless economic growth with a more decentralized, cooperative, steady-state economy. The authors present a comprehensive series of strategic questions within the broad areas of:<ul><li>Energy sufficiency</li><li>Local food systems</li><li>Interest-free financing</li><li>Affordable housing and land reform</li><li>Sustainable community development</li></ul> Each section is complemented by case studies of pioneering community initiatives rounded out by a discussion of transition factors and resilience reflections. With a focus on securing and sustaining change, this provocative book challenges deeply embedded cultural assumptions. Profoundly hopeful and inspiring, The Resilience Imperative affirms the possibilities of positive change as it is shaped by individuals, communities, and institutions learning to live within our ecological limits. “Resilience is the watchword for our dawning era of economic and environmental instability . . . The Resilience Imperative is exactly what’s needed to get us moving in the right direction.” —Richard Heinberg, author of Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival “Exceptionally valuable—in vision, in strategic understanding, in concrete ways to build forward. A handbook for a morally meaningful and sustainable future!” —Gar Alperovitz, author of America Beyond Capitalism</div>

The Resilience Imperative

<div>A humorous and keen look at the roller-coaster boom and bust of the 1960s and 1970s by the New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of Business Adventures John Brooks blends humor and astute analysis in this tale of the staggering &ldquo;go-go&rdquo; growth of the 1960s stock market and the ensuing crashes of the 1970s. Swiftly rising stocks promised fast money to investors, and voracious cupidity drove the market. But the bull market couldn&rsquo;t last forever, and the fall was just as staggering as the ascent. Including the astounding story of H. Ross Perot&rsquo;s loss of $450 million in one day; the tale of America&rsquo;s &ldquo;Last Gatsby,&rdquo; Eddie Gilbert; and the account of financier Saul Steinberg&rsquo;s failed grab for Chemical Bank, this book is replete with hallmark financial acumen and vivid storytelling. A classic of business history, The Go-Go Years provides John Brooks&rsquo;s signature insight into the events of yesteryear and stands the test of time.</div>

The Go-Go Years

<div>Shame, the quintessential human emotion, received little attention during the years in which the central forces believed to be motivating us were identified as primitive instincts like sex and aggression. Now, redressing the balance, there is an explosion of interest in the self-conscious emotion. Much of our psychic lives involve the negotiation of shame, asserts Michael Lewis, internationally known developmental and clinical psychologist. Shame is normal, not pathological, though opposite reactions to shame underlie many conflicts among individuals and groups, and some styles of handling shame are clearly maladaptive. Illustrating his argument with examples from everyday life, Lewis draws on his own pathbreaking studies and the theory and research of many others to construct the first comprehensive and empirically based account of emotional development focused on shame. In this paperback edition, Michael Lewis adds a compelling new chapter on stigma in which he details the process in which stigmatization produces shame.</div>

Shame

<div>Six classic works on economics—with commentary from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Big Short and Liar’s Poker. In books like Liar’s Poker and Moneyball, Michael Lewis has given us an unprecedented look at what goes on behind the scenes on Wall Street. Now he takes us back across the centuries to explore the classics that created and defined not just Wall Street, but the entire economic system we live under today. Brought together with Lewis’s illuminating editorial commentary, they form an essential reference for any student of economics—in fact, for anyone who wants to understand the market forces and government policies that have shaped our world, and will continue to shape our future. Includes: The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith (1776) An Essay on the Principle of Population by Thomas Malthus (1798) Principles of Political Economy and Taxation by David Ricardo (1817) Selections from Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds by Charles Mackay (1841) The Theory of the Leisure Class: An Economic Study of Institutions by Thorstein Veblen (1899) The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money by John Maynard Keynes (1936)</div>
