Dissident Doctor
How often do you hear a doctor saying doctors need to be more accountable, Medicare needs more support and family medicine deserves more respect? Dissident Doctor bristles with refreshingly frank criticisms from inside the health sector, and its author is not just any doctor but a distinguished scientific researcher, veteran medical administrator, Professor Emeritus, recipient of the Order of Canada and lifelong gadfly. In Dissident Doctor, Michael C. Klein intersperses fascinating tales of individual cases with formative elements of his personal life. As the son of American left-wing activists, he grew up singing folk songs about justice and racial equality; as a young doctor his refusal to...

Summary of Matthew C. Klein & Michael Pettis's Trade Wars Are Class Wars
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Before we can understand how to fix trade, we need to understand what trade is. I. What Is Trade. -> Before we can understand how to fix trade, we must first understand what trade is. Trade today looks nothing like it did before. Companies spread complex manufacturing supply chains across multiple countries to minimize taxes. #2 People get more done when they specialize. International trade is simply an extension of this process across national borders. #3 International trade is simply the extension of specialization, which was first described by the Italian merchant and economist Bartolomeo Visconti in 1277. Specialization is good for both Portuguese and English capitalists, but only if they can trade cloth for wine with each other. #4 International trade is simply the extension of specialization, which was first described by the Italian merchant and economist Bartolomeo Visconti in 1277.

When I Was a Twin
"There is no other Michael Klein. There is no other writer adept, in Michael Klein's particular way, with the all-but-incomprehensible intertwining of absurdity, sorrow, humor, mystery, and mortality that is the world as we know it. He's a living treasure." - Michael Cunningham
How Reason Almost Lost Its Mind
In the United States at the height of the Cold War, roughly between the end of World War II and the early 1980s, a new project of redefining rationality commanded the attention of sharp minds, powerful politicians, wealthy foundations, and top military brass. Its home was the human sciences—psychology, sociology, political science, and economics, among others—and its participants enlisted in an intellectual campaign to figure out what rationality should mean and how it could be deployed. How Reason Almost Lost Its Mind brings to life the people—Herbert Simon, Oskar Morgenstern, Herman Kahn, Anatol Rapoport, Thomas Schelling, and many others—and places, including the RAND Corporation,...

Trapped in the Family Business

Music and the Crises of the Modern Subject
Departing from the traditional German school of music theorists, Michael Klein injects a unique French critical theory perspective into the framework of music and meaning. Using primarily Lacanian notions of the symptom, that unnamable jouissance located in the unconscious, and the registers of subjectivity (the Imaginary, the Symbolic Order, and the Real), Klein explores how we understand music as both an artistic form created by "the subject" and an artistic expression of a culture that imposes its history on this modern subject. By creatively navigating from critical theory to music, film, fiction, and back to music, Klein distills the kinds of meaning that we have been missing when we perform, listen to, think about, and write about music without the insights of Lacan and others into formulations of modern subjectivity.
Exchange Rate Regimes in the Modern Era
An analysis of the operation and consequences of exchange rate regimes in an era of increasing international interdependence. The exchange rate is sometimes called the most important price in a highly globalized world. A country's choice of its exchange rate regime, between government-managed fixed rates and market-determined floating rates has significant implications for monetary policy, trade, and macroeconomic outcomes, and is the subject of both academic and policy debate. In this book, two leading economists examine the operation and consequences of exchange rate regimes in an era of increasing international interdependence. Michael Klein and Jay Shambaugh focus on the evolution of exchange rate regimes in the modern era, the period since 1973, which followed the Bretton Woods era of 1945–72 and the pre-World War I gold standard era. Klein and Shambaugh offer a comprehensive, integrated treatment of the characteristics of exchange rate regimes and their effects. The book draws on and synthesizes data from the recent wave of empirical research on this topic, and includes new findings that challenge preconceived notions.
