Summary

In "A Publisher's Confession," Walter Hines Page provides an introspective exploration of the publishing industry during the early 20th century, presenting a candid examination of its intricacies and moral dilemmas. Page's literary style combines personal anecdotes with critical analysis, blending narrative storytelling with theoretical insights. This work reflects the evolving landscape of American literature in the post-Civil War era, where the tensions between artistic integrity and commercial imperatives are palpably felt. His reflections serve not only as a confessional but also as a manifesto on the responsibilities of publishers and their influence on cultural discourse. Walter Hines Page was a prominent publisher, author, and journalist whose career was marked by a passionate commitment to the written word. His experiences in the publishing world, including founding his own press, informed his insights on the ethical challenges faced by publishers. Throughout his life, Page was dedicated to promoting Southern literature and fostering a diverse range of voices in American writing, which ultimately shaped his perspective on the dynamics of publishing as both an art and a business. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the publishing field and the ethical complexities behind literary production will find Page'Äôs reflections invaluable. "A Publisher's Confession" is not merely a recollection of past experiences but a thought-provoking critique that challenges us to examine the intersection of literature and commerce in contemporary society.

    Accountability after Economic Crisis reconstructs the captivating story of how different nations responded to the 2008 economic crisis, one of the most challenging economic downturns in modern history. Why did some countries look for explanations of the economic failure and seek to hold those responsible to account, while others looked the other way? If so, were certain methods more effective than others? Is there, in fact, a best way? 
 
 
 
Iosif Kovras introduces an innovative framework to explain the varied political responses to an economic crisis, pushing the boundaries of traditional analysis by drawing on political economy, comparative politics, public administration, economic history, criminal law, and criminology. He identifies three distinct accountability mechanisms used by leaders: retribution—prosecuting those at fault; truth recovery—establishing commissions of inquiry to reveal the facts; official acknowledgment—issuing formal apologies. Zeroing in on each country in turn, he shows how these mechanisms were employed and with what effect. 
 
 
 
Featuring original observations from a survey in Iceland and experimental data from a conjoint experiment, Accountability after Economic Crisis provides a thorough and engaging examination of how countries manage accountability in the wake of an economic crisis.

    Paul Nathan, an expert on the gold standard, has written the definitive modern guide to returning to a gold standard that will work for global markets that are far different than those that existed in the 1970s when the U.S. moved off the gold standard. Written for beginning and professional readers, Nathan succinctly and clearly explains the nature of sound money, the causes and cures of inflation and deflation, the importance of fiscal responsibility within a sound monetary system, and the reasons for recessions and depressions. He then offers guidance on how we can lean toward a gold standard (that doesn't involve extremist positions of abolishing the Fed and the like) that will strengthen the dollar, reduce debt, and help stabilize the economy. Booms and busts can never be prevented but depressions and recessions can be avoided with a sustainable, stable monetary policy. Finally, Nathan presents strategies for investing in gold now and in the future. Readers will learn that the international run toward gold is not a fad but a world in monetary transition. Everyone needs to understand what this means for their investments and their spending and saving.

    One-third of our waking lives is spent at work. Work is where we make culture and come into contact with our world. Work is central to God's mission to redeem souls, systems, and structures. And God works through our work to bring hope to the brokenness and fallenness of our surrounding culture.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is good news for the world, and that includes the transformation of our ordinary work into a sacred calling. Ross Chapman and Ryan Tafilowski show how work is a way to love God, serve our neighbors, and demonstrate the gospel. With a broader understanding of God's work in the world, we are able to engage our daily work as part of how God makes all things new.
This guide invites you to reflect on the meaning and purpose of your life's work and to transform your work into service to those around you.
