Synopsis

Consumer Spending Falls explores the drastic 40% drop in U.S. household expenditure during the Great Depression, arguing that this decline was a key driver of the economic crisis. It examines this period through consumer behavior, economic policy, and societal well-being. Uniquely, it highlights the bidirectional relationship between consumer sentiment and economic outcomes, demonstrating that consumer confidence actively shapes economic conditions. The book reveals intriguing insights, such as how fear of economic instability, coupled with inadequate government support, fueled a self-fulfilling prophecy of economic collapse. It further emphasizes how the dramatic decline in spending was not solely a consequence of unemployment but also a contributing factor to the Depression's severity.

The book adopts a multi-faceted approach, delving into the psychology of consumer confidence, the impact of government intervention, and the long-term consequences of austerity. It begins by setting the economic context of the late 1920s, emphasizing unsustainable debt levels, and then explores the unraveling of consumer confidence following bank failures and rising unemployment. Through archival research and econometric analysis, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the 1930s, particularly focusing on recession prevention. Finally, it draws parallels between historical spending patterns and modern economic challenges, offering policy recommendations for fostering consumer confidence and sustainable economic growth.

Belisarius & Antonina - Love and...

David Alan Parnell

Belisarius and Antonina were titans in the Roman world some 1,500 years ago. Belisarius was the most well-known general of his age, victor over the Persians, conqueror of the Vandals and the Goths, and as if this were not enough, wealthy beyond imagination. She made a name for herself by traveling with Belisarius on his military campaigns, deposing a pope, and scheming to disgrace important Roman officials. This unadulterated power and wealth did not mean that Belisarius and Antonina were universally successful in all that they undertook. These failures knock them from their lofty perch, humanize them, and make them even more relatable and intriguing to us today. 
 
 
 
Belisarius & Antonina is the first modern portrait of this unique partnership. They were not merely husband and wife but also partners in power. This is a paradigm which might seem strange to us, as we reflexively imagine that marriages in the ancient world were staunchly traditional, relegating wives to the domestic sphere only. Their private and public lives blended as they traveled together, sometimes bringing their children, and worked side-by-side. Theirs was without a doubt the most important nonroyal marriage of the late Roman world, and one of the very few from all of antiquity that speaks directly to contemporary listeners.

Henry David Thoreau: On The Duty...

Henry David Thoreau

"That government is best which governs least" is the famous opening line of this essay. The slavery crisis inflamed New England in the 1840s and 1850s. The environment became especially tense after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. A lifelong abolitionist, Thoreau delivered an impassioned speech which would later become Civil Disobedience in 1848, just months after leaving Walden Pond. The speech dealt with slavery, but at the same time excoriated American imperialism, particularly the Mexican–American War. Thoreau asserts that because governments are typically more harmful than helpful, they therefore cannot be justified. Democracy is no cure for this, as majorities simply by virtue of being majorities do not also gain the virtues of wisdom and justice. The judgment of an individual's conscience is not necessarily inferior to the decisions of a political body or majority, and so "[i]t is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right.... Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice." He adds, "I cannot for an instant recognize as my government [that] which is the slave's government also.
