The Bonds of Debt $13.7 "Man is born free and is everywhere in debt," declared the Economist in the summer of 2010, a cheeky admission that indebtedness and liberation are once again on the agenda across the globe. In this timely book, cultural critic Richard Dienst examines the current condition of indebtedness from a variety of angles, ranging from the financial crisis and global poverty to media politics and radical theory. Written in an engaging and forceful style, the book draws upon a surprising array of materials, including Obama's national security strategy, the architecture of Prada stores, press photos of Bono, and a fairy tale told by Karl Marx. Moving beyond the dominant pieties and widespread anxieties surrounding the topic, Dienst reconceives indebtedness as a social, economic, and political bond, where the crushing weight of objectified wealth comes face to face with new demands for equality and solidarity. |

The Debt $12.99 The national bestseller by the author of Defending the Spirit . In this powerful and controversial book, distinguished African-American political leader and thinker Randall Robinson argues for the restoration of the rich history that slavery and segregation severed. Drawing from research and personal experience, he shows that only by reclaiming their lost past and proud heritage can blacks lay the foundation for their future. And white Americans can make reparations for slavery and the century of racial discrimination that followed with monetary restitution, educational programs, and the kinds of equal opportunities that will ensure the social and economic success of all its citizens. In a book that is both an unflinching indictment of past wrongs and an impassioned call to our nation to educate all Americans about the history of Africa and its people, Robinson makes a persuasive case for the debt white America owes blacks, and the debt blacks owe themselves. |

The National Debt $6.99 What, exactly, is the National Debt--and to whom do we owe the money--two trillion dollars worth? That's a pile of one thousand dollar bills 134 miles high, and climbing. Just paying the interest costs is equivalent to the entire federal income tax collected west of the Mississippi.   How did we get into such a fix? This book explains why the government, politicians of both parties, and all the rest of us have delayed putting our house in order; how Reaganomics delivered something very different from what it promised; how one devoted but nevertheless unelected public servant, Chairman Paul Volcker of the Federal Reserve Board, has been left to mind the store; how we turned into a net debtor to the rest of the world; how our economic destiny is increasingly determined by foreigners, and how the world's financial system could shiver around us as a result.   What are the constraints this unimaginable debt imposes on our society, what is the threat it poses to our political stability, and what does it mean to the individual American--not to mention almost everyone else in the world? Debt is a dilemma that will not go away, despite Washington's attempts to persuade us otherwise. At some point something may snap, and this book suggests when that breaking point might come. Lawrence Malkin, one of our most respected economics journalists, has written an eloquent, witty, fact-filled, and provocative treatise on what is becoming the great dilemma of this decade. |

Developing Country Debt and the World Economy $30 For dozens of developing countries, the financial upheavals of the 1980s have set back economic development by a decade or more. Poverty in those countries have intensified as they struggle under the burden of an enormous external debt. In 1988, more than six years after the onset of the crisis, almost all the debtor countries were still unable to borrow in the international capital markets on normal terms. Moreover, the world financial system has been disrupted by the prospect of widespread defaults on those debts. Because of the urgency of the present crisis, and because similar crises have recurred intermittently for at least 175 years, it is important to understand the fundamental features of the international macroeconomy and global financial markets that have contributed to this repeated instability. Developing Country Debt and the World Economy contains nontechnical versions of papers prepared under the auspices of the project on developing country debt, sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research. The project focuses on the middle-income developing countries, particularly those in Latin America and East Asia, although many lessons of the study should apply as well to other, poorer debtor countries. The contributors analyze the crisis from two perspectives, that of the international financial system as a whole and that of individual debtor countries. Studies of eight countries—Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, the Philippines, South Korea, and Turkey—explore the question of why some countries succumbed to serious financial crises while other did not. Each study was prepared by a team of two authors—a U.S.-based research and an economist from the country under study. An additional eight papers approach the problem of developing country debt from a global or "systemic" perspective. The topics they cover include the history of international sovereign lending and previous debt crises, the political factors that contribute to poor economic policies in many debtor nations, the role of commercial banks and the International Monetary Fund during the current crisis, the links between debt in developing countries and economic policies in the industrialized nations, and possible new approaches to the global management of the crisis. |

Our National Debt: Now, That's Scary by Michael D. Hume, M.S.
They're Coming To Suck Your Wallet Dry
by Michael D. Hume, M.S.
I've been hearing a radio ad that's right on the money - literally. It depicts a little kid coming to the door for "trick-or-treat," dressed not as a vampire or a ghost, but as - that's right - the national debt.
"See all these IOUs I have stuck to me? Here's the trillion for China," the kid says. She says vampires and ghosts aren't real, but the national debt is, and it's much more scary.
She'll get no argument from me!
The Obama administration has racked up trillions of dollars in debt... more than all the other administrations in the 230-plus year history of America combined. The fact is, unless the policies of the ruling Democrats are reversed, the trick-or-treaters you see this weekend will live hard, short, poor lives for the first time in generations in the United States. Luckily, the electorate seems to get this. As dumb and unsophisticated as the erudite media would have us believe the voters are, they are set to send a message to Washington next week that should be hard even for this administration to ignore. Scarily, though, President Obama has given no indication he's paying attention to the great unwashed masses. High taxes and high government spending have gotten us into this mess, you say? His plan is to put his opponents in the back seat as he shoves the pedal to the metal in our proverbial national vehicle. As we all fly off the cliff together, you'll hear him exclaim "We just need to spend more! Don't you get it?"
Closer to home, I'm a big believer in taking charge of your own financial future. Even if you have a great job, start an internet business on the side as a hedge against the coming depression. Get yourself in shape so you don't have to rely as much on government health care. And get a financial education - a real financial education - to get smart about how you can be one of the few who will benefit from the coming global transfer of trillions in wealth.
And how about a constitutional amendment that would limit the government's ability to spend, once and for all? As difficult as it would be to acheive politically, probably nothing else will put a stake in the vampires' hearts.
In the meantime, be spooked. They are coming to suck us all dry.
