  This is an intement portrait of a future economic system that is geared to the everyday listener. It incorporates old economic principles established in a modern era. Some newer inclusions are the creating and deleting of money, inflation degradation, and supporting of a culture that can uphold and learn from the past inequities and problems that have plagued the prior attempts to create money. This economy works in the prevailing future in which an occupation is not a necessity but an option and freedom from a job is the commonplace. It is a system that would grant $3680 to a family of 4 without using taxation and can safely launch the United States and the world into the next generation of machines supplied by money creation and inflation negation.

  Delve into the intricate dance of free speech in the United States. "Walls of Words" is not just another book about the First Amendment; it is a deep dive into the intricate boundaries that define our freedom of expression. With a rich blend of history, jurisprudence, and real-world examples, this book paints a comprehensive picture of how speech has been shaped, celebrated, and suppressed since the founding of America. 
   
  Ever wondered about the intentions of the Founding Fathers when they penned the First Amendment? Or how landmark cases over the centuries have redefined its interpretation? From the early American media's struggles with censorship to the rise of digital platforms, discover the evolution of speech boundaries and the forces that have constantly sought to redraw them. 
   
  But it doesn't stop there. In today's digital age, speech boundaries are more complex than ever. Dive into the thorny issues of cyberbullying, doxing, and the rise of disinformation. Understand when speech crosses the line into crime, from threats and extortion to false advertising and copyright infringement. And for those moments when you find yourself walking on the eggshells of culturally sensitive speech, this book offers guidance on navigating those murky waters. 
   
  Moreover, in a world where the line between private censorship and public responsibility is increasingly blurred, "Walls of Words" challenges readers to reflect on the ethical implications of speech boundaries. How do we balance tolerance with limitation? What role do private entities play in shaping the discourse? And as technology continues to transform the landscape of expression, what challenges lie ahead for the future of free speech? 
   
  "Walls of Words" promises an enlightening journey through the ever-evolving wall of words that defines our collective responsibility to uphold the spirit of free speech.

  A 150-year history of the planning, construction, and development of all forms of mass transportation in Brooklyn, New York. 
   
  How We Got to Coney Island is the definitive history of mass transportation in Brooklyn. Covering 150 years of extraordinary growth, Cudahy tells the complete story of the trolleys, street cars, steamboats, and railways that helped create New York’s largest borough—and the remarkable system that grew to connect the world’s most famous seaside resort with Brooklyn, New York City across the river, and, ultimately, the rest of the world. Includes tables, charts, photographs, and maps. 
   
  Praise for How We Got to Coney Island 
   
  “This is an example of a familiar and decidedly old-fashioned genre of transport history. It is primarily an examination of the business politics of railway development and amalgamation in Brooklyn and adjoining districts since the mid-nineteenth century.” —The Journal of Transport History

  When Franklin Roosevelt was elected in 1932, the country was still reeling in the aftermath of the 1929 Stock Market Crash and ensuing Great Depression.  The American people were looking for help and direction. In his inaugural address delivered on March 4, 1933, Roosevelt spelled out a clear plan that called for swift, decisive action that would mobilize the power of the federal government to put people back to work and reminded the public that America had a proud history of exceptional accomplishments and an inherent collective strength that could (and would) prevail.  The speech is most famous for its declaration that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself”, but is also notable for his bold statement that   "I shall ask the Congress for the one remaining instrument to meet the crisis -- broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe." The address continues to stand as a model of decisive, bold action fused with stirring, patriotic fervor. This is leadership at its best.This audiobook contains a new reading of the text of Roosevelt’s address as well as a recording of the original.
