No one, from economists to bankers to politicians, has been able to quantify exactly how much of the world's assets are currently hidden - until now. Gabriel Zucman is the first economist to offer reliable insight into the actual extent of the world's money held in tax havens. And it's staggering. In The Hidden Wealth of Nations, Zucman offers an inventive and sophisticated approach to quantifying how big the problem is, how tax havens work and are organized, and how we can begin to approach a solution.

Brought to you by Penguin. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. The current financial crisis has only one parallel: the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and subsequent Great Depression of the 1930s, which crippled the future of an entire generation and set the stage for the horrors of the Second World War. Yet...

In this shocking exposé, former EHM John Perkins gives an insider view into the corrupt system that cheats and strong-arms countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars and ultimately causes staggering income inequality and ecological devastation. EHMs are highly paid professionals who use development loans to saddle countries with huge debts and force them to serve US interests. Now, a new EHM wave is infecting the world, and at the peak of the devastation sits China, a newly dominant economic power, with its own insidious version of the US EHM blueprint.

In 2010, pioneering sociologist Catherine Hakim shocked the world with a provocative new theory: In addition to the three recognized personal assets (economic, cultural, and social capital), each individual has a fourth asset - erotic capital - that he or she can, and should, use to advance within society. In this bold and controversial book, Hakim explores the applications and significance of erotic capital, challenging the disapproval meted out to women and men who use sex appeal to get ahead in life.

Why do so many of today’s debates seem impossible to resolve? Often it’s because we’re asking the wrong questions. Whether the subject is family, church, education, justice, economics, life, death, or the culture around us, our answers will only be as sound as the assumptions behind the questions we ask. Too often, those assumptions have been shaped more by the surrounding culture than by Scripture. In Think Again, Andrea Schwartz invites listeners to step back from familiar arguments and examine the hidden ideas that quietly influence how we think.

Wealth inequality is spiraling. The standard response —demand higher taxes, demonize billionaires, wait for politicians to act —has been failing for decades, and it will keep failing. The reason for this is simple: the ultra wealthy are the most powerful people in the world, and as long as they want to maximize wealth, their net worths will climb ever higher. The solution? Make them want something else.

High Noon, Kant, Bill Murray, the modern novel, van Gogh, and of course economics and the economy all come into play in an audiobook that can only be described as a monumental project and a life's work.
