"Spending is not the depletion of wealth, it is the transfer of ownership of money. And that transfer of ownership of money activates the economic activity that creates and maintains wealth."........... The classic work on Macroeconomics by John Maynard Keynes called "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" is notoriously difficult to read. It was my initial goal to attempt to read and fully understand Keynes' work and then to produce a study guide of sorts, in order to make his concepts more accessible. This attempt turned into a major project that took years to accomplish. I believe the result of that effort, this book, captures the essence of the most important concepts Keynes discovered. However, in the process I discovered that, in order to properly understand those concepts, new definitions for currently used terms and new ways of organizing macroeconomic models are necessary. One might think that attempts to do so would just make everything more complicated and difficult to… Read More

Jitsu. Once the center of human expansion into distant space, this world was isolated for the better part of a century, a theocratic government rising to fill the void left by its former corporate owners. Now, as Jitsu begins to open itself to the rest of humanity, Brando D'Angelo di Makomo accepts a teaching position on the arid planet. He finds himself drawn to controversial architect Tenshi Koroma and her religious reform movement. As he learns more about Tenshi's faith—The Path—Brando decides to accept its tenets, to shatter his identity and rebuild himself so that he can be worthy of a soul.But the dogmatic struggles on Jitsu are a mask for the machinations of a diabolical mind, and the professor's life will be forever altered by the cruelty of Tenshi's enemies. In the aftermath, Brando will find a deadly new Way along The Path. And his steps will echo throughout history.

David Dephy's exuberant poems shout from the streets of Georgia to New York City. His work is honest and returns again and again to the idea of eternal hope, and freedom, despite the circumstances. When he writes, "The trust is the heart of prescience," the reader is reminded that there is something eternal for Dephy and at the heart of everything, there must be acceptance. - Gloria Monaghan is an award-winning poet, author of the poetry books Flawed (Finishing Line Press, 2011) The Garden (Flutter Press, 2015) False Spring (Adelaide Books, 2019) Hydrangea (Kelsay Press, 2020)

I was thinking about writing a medical story book with a lot of visual arts on the most challenging human diseases, the heart- or brain-attack and the presumed vascular culprit: the platelet thrombus from its initiation, rapid maturation, migration, lodging in the critical, narrowing arteries of heart or brain, choking these hard-working organs to death by blocking the blood supply of vital oxygen and other nutrients. When they are healthy, the proteins, the cells of blood and the composite structure of artery do a great job in maintaining the vascular sanity, called homeostasis. For a variety of reasons from our inherent genetics and our unhealthy lifestyles, the endothelial cells of the inner wall of artery become unhappy, inflamed and become sticky to the white cells of blood, called the monocytes. They open their tightly interlocked junctions and invite the monocytes and let them stay put. However, these monocytes have their own plan and imbibe more protein-cholesterol particles, called… Read More

"… Stefano Ferro rappresentava la perfetta incarnazione del Lupo Cattivo, e unincontro con lui era quanto di meno auspicabile per una provetta Cappuccetto Rosso come me..."La rispettabilità, l'etica, la morale… Per Stella possono andare a farsi benedire al cospetto del torace definito, delle gambe possenti e degli occhi neri, come il peccato, di Stefano Ferro. Ma Stefano non si limita ad essere solo bello e straordinariamente seducente; lui è la quintessenza di tutto ciò a cui un'ingenua ragazza di provincia, come lei, non dovrebbe mai avvicinarsi: è arrogante, pieno di sé, incredibilmente st…olto... Ed è sposato. Resta il fatto, però, che a un uomo così sia impossibile resistere. E, comunque, lei non ne ha mai avuto l'intenzione.
