Synopsis

"Panama Canal" explores the history and economic significance of the world's most ambitious engineering projects and its profound influence on global trade. The book begins by examining the failed French attempt at construction, highlighting the devastating impact of disease, before detailing the successful American takeover. It emphasizes the canal's role as a strategic chokepoint in the global supply chain and examines how the canal transformed shipping routes, significantly lowering trade costs.

The book unfolds chronologically, beginning with pre-canal trade routes and early proposals for a trans-isthmian passage. It covers the French attempt, the American takeover, and the construction process, before analyzing its economic impact on regions like the United States, Latin America, and Asia.

The book stands out by combining historical narrative with economic analysis and geopolitical insights, offering a multifaceted analysis of the Panama Canal. The book presents archival documents, engineering reports, and economic data to support its claims, allowing readers to understand the dynamics of global trade and the complexities of international relations. It then addresses the transfer of the canal to Panamanian control and its expansion in the 21st century.

Ultimately, this work asserts the Panama Canal is more than just a waterway; it is a symbol of human ingenuity, a driver of global economic integration, and a strategic asset that continues to shape international relations.

Debacle - Obama's War on Jobs...

Anonyme

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama promised time after time "a net spending cut" to make government smaller in order to cut the deficit. But the huge increase in government spending and debt, and the resulting higher future taxes will make America a poorer country. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the deficits that President Obama proposes for the years from 2011 through 2020 come to a staggering $126,000 per family of four. That is on top of the $35,000 per family already chalked up under the first two years of Obama's administration. But has all the new government been worth it? Are Americans happier because the government has determined where this money should be spent? The answer is clearly no. Obama's economic policies have raised unemployment, slowed economic growth, dramatically raised the national debt, squandered taxpayer money through poor investments, and further damaged the housing market. The economy will eventually grow, though slowly. The No Tax Pledge will explain why Obama's policies on spending, taxes, regulation have all worked to harm the recovery, increased unemployment, and depressed housing prices. This debate is part of a broader debate over Keynesian economics most notably involving Paul Krugman in the New York Times. The authors plan on dissecting these arguments and explaining why Keynesianism represents more a way of transferring wealth to desired political constituencies than it provides a legitimate economic theory for how the economy operates.
