The Skyscraper Curse is Dr. Mark Thornton's definitive work on booms and busts, and it explains why only Austrian economists really understand them. It makes business cycle theory accessible to a whole new 21st-century audience. And they need it, especially those under 40. Many of the brilliant quants working on Wall Street and at the Fed barely remember the Crash of 2008, much less understand it. But Mark Thornton does, and his book is a warning about overheated equity markets, overinflated housing prices, and clueless central bankers.

The purpose of this audiobook is to present an overview of the key tenets of Austrian economics by synthesizing the insights from these thinkers in a set of eight topics that capture the core elements of Austrian economics.

Collected Essays is the first comprehensive English translation of Karl Kraus's short prose — the aphoristic firestorms, polemics, and satirical feuilletons that made him the most feared critic of the German-speaking world. Across essays written between 1900 and 1933, Kraus turns his apocalyptic gaze on everything journalism touched: a press that poisoned language and called it culture, a legal system that prosecuted prostitutes while sheltering corruption, a war machine fed by patriotic drivel, and a public so addicted to sensation that it mistook the end of the world for a headline. In ...

Everyone in the remote alpine village of Gletschberg am Brenner in the Austrian Tyrol seems to profit when Hitler becomes Chancellor in Germany, whilst its only hotel, the “Berghof”, celebrates with a massive firework display and an oompah-oompah band.

Berlin, the late 1920s. The inflation has eaten the Bernheim fortune. The nightclubs are full. The Republic is holding, more or less. And on the streets, the paramilitary organizations are growing. Paul Bernheim has returned from the war to find himself heir to a bank he doesn't understand, in a world he can't quite navigate. He is charming, educated, and entirely without direction — a man of the middle in every sense, caught between his German father's world and his Jewish mother's, between ambition and inertia, between a social order that is dissolving and whatever is coming to replace ...
