Summary

Taxation Debates explores the multifaceted world of U.S. tax policy, specifically focusing on income and corporate taxes and their impact on economic growth, income inequality, and government revenue. It traces the historical evolution of tax laws, from the early 20th century to more recent reforms, providing context for current debates. The book uniquely balances economic incentives and distributional consequences, arguing that effective tax policy must promote both economic prosperity and social equity.

 
The book begins by introducing fundamental tax concepts, like progressive vs. regressive structures, before diving into specific debates such as optimal tax rates and the impact of tax incentives. The economic impact of corporate tax policy on business investment is a key area of focus. By relying on empirical evidence from government agencies and academic studies, Taxation Debates offers a non-partisan analysis suitable for students, policymakers, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the U.S. tax system.

 
The book progresses across three major parts, building from foundational concepts to specific debates and finally exploring future directions for U.S. tax policy. Case studies of past tax reforms are examined, and the book considers emerging challenges like globalization and technological change. Ultimately, the book aims to equip readers with the knowledge needed to participate meaningfully in discussions about tax reforms and their far-reaching effects.

    Keeping Family Secrets - Shame...

    All families have secrets but the facts requiring secrecy change with time. Nowadays a lesbian partnership, a "bastard" son, or a criminal grandfather might be of little or no consequence but could have unraveled a family at an earlier moment in history. Margaret K. Nelson is interested in how families keep secrets from each other and from outsiders when to do otherwise would risk eliciting not only embarrassment or discomfort, but profound shame and, in some cases, danger. Drawing on over 150 memoirs describing childhoods in the period between the aftermath of World War II and the 1960s, Nelson highlights the importance of history in creating family secrets and demonstrates the use of personal stories to understand how people make sense of themselves and their social worlds. 
 
 
 
Keeping Family Secrets uncovers hidden stories of same-sex attraction among boys, unwed pregnancies among teenage girls, the institutionalization of children with mental and physical disabilities, participation in left-wing political activities, adoption, and Jewish ancestry. The members of ordinary families kept these issues secret to hide the disconnect between the reality of their own family and the prevailing ideals of what a family should be. Keeping Family Secrets sheds light not only on decades-old secrets but pushes us to confront what secrets our families keep today.

    “A good boy like you deserves a treat.” A thin smile forms on Soren’s lips. 
Alric steps forward and collapses upon his knees. His eyes widen as he gazes up at the gold talisman in Soren’s hands, the heavy sapphire in the center shimmering seductively. The incubus closes his eyes, channeling some sort of dark energy into the artifact. 
Heart pounding, Alric watches as a vile monstrosity is released from the relic. This is his reward…his reward for committing perverse, wicked acts in his master’s name.

    The Thirty Years' War was one of the most horrific conflicts in history, and though it is widely viewed as a religious struggle, that was only part of the complicated war. Calvinists and Lutherans did not get along, and both persecuted some of the more radical Anabaptist sects. At the same time, one major motivation behind the war was Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II’s determination to rule all of the empire and not be just a figurehead. There were struggles between rulers and their estates over power, and Catholic France later entered the war on the side of the Protestants in order to counter the Habsburgs’ power.  
	The Battle of Breitenfeld, fought in September 1631, was the first major Protestant victory and widely considered the crowning achievement of Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus’ military career. Through his establishment of communication and supply lines at strategic points across the Baltic Sea, the securing of Protestant alliances, and his use of combined arms, amongst his other trademark techniques, the Swedish forces, against all odds, defeated their rivals. Such was the devastation inflicted upon their opponents that the Count of Tilly, the chief commander of the Catholic League's armies, had no other choice but to retreat. 6,000 or so Catholic soldiers were captured, many of them later incorporated into the Protestant forces. Whatever remained of the survivors vanished into the dark of the night.   
	Gustavus’s triumph at Breitenfeld was a great victory that permanently affected the war, and for a time the Swedes were the most powerful military force in Central Europe, but Gustavus’s life ended slightly more than a year after the battle. On November 16, 1632, the king led a Protestant army of Swedes and German allies against Wallenstein’s army near Lützen in Saxony, and during a hard-fought Protestant victory that forced Wallenstein to retreat, Gustavus was killed while leading a cavalry charge.

    James Henry Breasted (1865–1935) had a career that epitomizes our popular image of the archaeologist. Daring, handsome, and charismatic, he traveled on expeditions to remote and politically unstable corners of the Middle East, helped identify the tomb of King Tut, and was on the cover of Time magazine. But Breasted was more than an Indiana Jones—he was an accomplished scholar, academic entrepreneur, and talented author who brought ancient history to life not just for students but for such notables as Teddy Roosevelt and Sigmund Freud.In American Egyptologist, Jeffrey Abt weaves together the disparate strands of Breasted’s life, from his small-town origins following the Civil War to his evolution into the father of American Egyptology and the founder of the Oriental Institute in the early years of the University of Chicago. Abt explores the scholarly, philanthropic, diplomatic, and religious contexts of his ideas and projects, providing insight into the origins of America’s most prominent center for Near Eastern archaeology. An illuminating portrait of the nearly forgotten man who demystified ancient Egypt for the general public, American Egyptologist restores James Henry Breasted to the world and puts forward a brilliant case for his place as one of the most important scholars of modern times.
