Bad History, Worse Policy: How a False Narrative About the Financial Crisis Led to the Dodd-Frank Act
ISBN: 9780844772387 / Angielski / Twarda / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This timely study focuses on how the government-constructed narratives surrounding the collapse of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the 2008 financial crisis shaped the policymaking that led to the Dodd-Frank Act. The book shows that every major provision of the act can be traced directly to that narrative, which ignored the government's own role and focused entirely on the errors of the private sector. In the next Congress, whether or not the Republicans are in control of the House and Senate, there will be a concerted effort to make changes in--or even repeal--the Dodd-Frank Act. The essays...

Why Energy Conservation Fails
ISBN: 9781567205978 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Energy efficiency and energy conservation are often thought to be the same. They are not, according to Herbert Inhaber. Only when less total energy is consumed by all users will energy actually be saved. Energy efficiency schemes do not accomplish this goal of conservation: when one person or nation conserves energy, there is just more of it for others to use elsewhere. This is the first book to answer, comprehensively and objectively, the question: Do government energy conservation programs hinder or help the nation? Says Inhaber, the fact that billions of dollars have been spent on... Energy efficiency and energy conservation are often thought to be the same. They are not, according to Herbert Inhaber.
