  "Angrynomics" embarks on a critical examination of contemporary capitalism, identifying the systemic issues that have led to widespread economic insecurity and the manipulation of public sentiment by political figures. The authors draw from a rich tapestry of academic research, presenting a compelling narrative that weaves together history, psychology, and economic theory to diagnose the causes of societal anger and propose innovative solutions. 
  Through engaging dialogues and insightful analysis, Lonergan and Blyth articulate the pressing need for a systemic reboot of capitalism. They explore the concept of "good" anger as a force for societal change, contrasted with "bad" anger that stems from irrational and divisive impulses. The book presents a series of proposals aimed at redesigning contemporary capitalism to foster more equality, stability, and less societal anger, highlighting innovative ideas such as sovereign wealth funds and dual interest rates as means to achieve these goals. 
  If you're looking to understand the global atmosphere of anger, its economic underpinnings, and the potential pathways toward a more equitable and peaceful society, this audiobook summary offers a powerful and accessible overview. "Angrynomics" is an essential listen for news enthusiasts, activists, and anyone interested in the direction our world is taking, providing a roadmap for navigating the challenges of the present while laying the groundwork for a more hopeful future​

  “Hockey historians will appreciate the precision action shots taken of the first cohort of NHL stars . . . a record of how hockey has evolved.” —Winnipeg Free Press   The hockey stars of the 1950s and ’60s—Rocket Richard, Gordie Howe, Dave Keon, Bobby Hull, Jean Beliveau, Terry Sawchuk, Tim Horton, and others—were some of the most passionate players in National Hockey League history. These skillful and often colorful athletes played exhilarating hockey and were national heroes in a time when only six teams and fewer than 150 players battled for the Stanley Cup.  Hockey’s Original 6 celebrates the most dynamic players and exciting moments of the era in more than 120 photographs from the legendary Harold Barkley Archives, including a number of never—or rarely seen—images. From 1942 until the early ’70s, Barkley was the Toronto Star’s leading sports photographer. He pioneered the use of electronic flash to capture stop-action hockey, and his dramatic work—both black and white and vibrant color—define the pre-expansion period.   Two informative essays by Mike Leonetti—hockey historian, archivist, and prolific sportswriter—set Barkley and the photos in context, and short image captions illuminate the players and their feats. The late hockey legend Jean Béliveau provides a personal and insightful foreword.   “Will take your breath away . . . a collection that captures players’ grimaces, suture tracks, missing teeth and Brylcreem-lacquered hair; their primitive equipment, joy and considerable pain, even the depth of snow beneath their tubular-steel blades, the individual planks of lumber that were the arena boards, and the octagonal orange crests on the Tyer Rubber Co. pucks whose impact has smudged the fire-engine-red goalposts.” —The Montreal Gazette
