After the Music Stopped

Summary of Alan S. Blinder's After the Music Stopped
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The 2008 financial crisis was a result of many financial manipulations that ordinary people did not understand, and in which they played no part. It cost millions of Americans their livelihoods and their homes, and bankrupted many businesses. #2 Americans’ well-justified anger is affecting our political discourse, and it is important to understand the why and the what of the financial crisis and its aftermath in order to better function as a democracy. #3 The U. S. financial system, which had grown too complex and too fragile for its own good, experienced a perfect storm in 2007–2009. When the once-copious flows of credit began to dry up, the economy nearly suffered cardiac arrest. #4 The United States avoided a complete meltdown of its best-in-class financial system, and a second Great Depression. However, American macroeconomic performance since the fall of 2008 has been the worst in post–World War II American history.

Advice and Dissent
A bestselling economist tells us what both politicians and economists must learn to fix America's failing economic policies American economic policy ranks as something between bad and disgraceful. As leading economist Alan S. Blinder argues, a crucial cultural divide separates economic and political civilizations. Economists and politicians often talk--and act--at cross purposes: politicians typically seek economists' "advice" only to support preconceived notions, not to learn what economists actually know or believe. Politicians naturally worry about keeping constituents happy and winning elections. Some are devoted to an ideology. Economists sometimes overlook the real human costs of what may seem to be the obviously best policy--to a calculating machine. In Advice and Dissent, Blinder shows how both sides can shrink the yawning gap between good politics and good economics and encourage the hardheaded but softhearted policies our country so desperately needs.

The Real Peaky Blinders
Stylish and dark, the BBC series the 'Peaky Blinders' is set in the backstreets of Birmingham after the First World War and tells of the rise to power of Thomas Shelby and his criminal gang. Yet the real stories behind these fictional characters are just as dramatic, bloody and compelling as the TV series. Thomas Shelby's arch enemy Billy Kimber was in real life a Brummie from Summer Lane. He was a feared fighter with an astute mind and magnetic personality which earned him the leadership of the Birmingham Gang that dominated the highly profitable protection rackets of the racecourses of England. The members of this gang had once been 'sloggers' or 'peaky blinders' and their rise to supremacy was attributable to their viciousness and to Kimber's shrewd alliances with other gangs. But they soon incurred the envy of the Sabini Gang of London who fought violently to oust Kimber and his men and take over their rackets. The Birmingham Gang battled back fiercely in the infamous and blood-stained racecourse wars of the 1920s. This Birmingham Gang led by Billy Kimber were the Real Peaky Blinders and this is their story.
