A detailed look at how economists shaped the world, and how the legacy continuesTrillion Dollar Economists explores the prize-winning ideas that have shaped business decisions, business models, and government policies, expanding the popular idea of the economist's role from one of forecaster to one of innovator. Written by the former Director of Economic Research at Bloomberg Government, the Kauffman Foundation and the Brookings Institution, this book describes the ways in which economists have helped shape the world – in some cases, dramatically enough to be recognized with a Nobel Prize or Clark Medal. Detailed discussion of how economists think about the world and the pace of future innovation leads to an examination of the role, importance, and limits of the market, and economists' contributions to business and policy in the past, present, and future.Few economists actually forecast the economy's performance.

Full of interviews with leading economists and industry leaders, Trillion Dollar Economists showcases the innovations that have built modern business and policy. Readers will:• Review the basics of economics and the innovation of economists, including market failures and the macro-micro distinction• Discover the true power of economic ideas when used directly in business, as exemplified by Priceline and Google• Learn how economists contributed to policy platforms in transportation, energy, telecommunication, and more• Explore the future of economics in business applications, and the policy ideas, challenges, and implicationsEconomists have helped firms launch new businesses, established new ways of making money, and shaped government policy to create new opportunities and a new landscape on which businesses compete. Trillion Dollar Economists provides a comprehensive exploration of these contributions, and a detailed look at innovation to come. Views: 17

This is the must-read anthology for anyone who believes his place is at the foot of a beautiful mistress, or loves the thought of having his kinky desires held up for ridicule in front of giggling young women.
It’s the females who are in control as they manipulate their weak-willed, drooling admirers into richly satisfying but intensely embarrassing predicaments. A comely co-ed dangles a high-heeled pump in pursuit of a better grade. An achingly beautiful babysitter has fun with her employer’s fetish for female feet. An indignant girlfriend lobbies for equal gender treatment in a chain lingerie store. A girl-next-door-turned-supermodel turns the journalist interviewing her into a shopping sycophant to the amusement of her friends. And a bank manager seeks a very special deposit as she uses her stocking-clad stems to teach an ogling colleague a lesson he won’t soon forget. These and other femmes fatales know just how to ensnare men in their treacherous webs, then expose their humiliating desires to a coterie of conspiratorial witnesses. Gray Fisher, a longtime contributor to Leg Show Magazine and BestLegShow.com, and among the top names in short fetish fiction, proffers a you-are-there style of writing that taps into the baser instincts of all men who yearn to be the playthings of beautiful women, goddesses who will only give them the time of day on their own cruel terms.

They made us. They broke us. Now they'll save us. Need Us is the final book in the Make or Break series. Featuring POVs from Royal, Channing and Rachel. **Author's note: This book starts with a bang and not everyone is happy. I know this might throw some readers off but bare with me. People grow and they change. It wouldn't be a good book if they are all happy living in La La land. In saying that, this book has a very happy ending. I promise. I love these characters and they deserve nothing less. Views: 17
