  • David Mcnally, Global Slump
    Praise for Global Slump “In this book, McNally confi rms—once again—his standing as one of the world’s leading Marxist scholars of capitalism. For a scholarly, in-depth analysis of our current crisis that never loses sight of its political implications (for them and for us), expressed in a language that leaves no reader behind, there is simply no better place to go.” —Bertell Ollman, professor, Department of Politics, NYU, and author of Dance of the Dialectic: Steps in Marx’s Method “David McNally’s tremendously timely book is packed with signif- icant theoretical and practical insights, and off ers actually existing examples of what is to be done. Global Slump urgently details how changes in the capitalist space-economy over the past 25 years, especially in the forms that money takes, have expanded wide- scale vulnerabilities for all kinds of people, and how people fi ght back. In a word, the problem isn’t neoliberalism—it’s capitalism.” —Ruth Wilson Gilmore, University of Southern California, and author, Golden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California “Standard accounts of the present crisis blame the excesses of the fi nancial sector, promising that all will be well when the proper fi nancial regulations are in place. McNally’s path-break- ing account goes far deeper. He documents in great detail how the roots of the crisis are found in the systematic failings of cap- italism. At this moment in world history the case for a radical alternative to the capitalist global order needs to be made as forcefully as possible.

Frobel, Village Attorney Linda Whitehead, and Village Clerk Susan Maggiotto CITIZENS: Twelve (12). PRESENTATION – 2014-2015 Village Audit Justin Wood, Nugent & Haeussler: I would like to begin by thanking Fran and Raf and Susan and Lori Mastroddi and Shelley Foxman and everybody for being so helpful and providing us with the information, and getting everything back to us in a timely manner so we can issue the audit. I want to start towards the back, on page 55. Page 55 represents the results of the general fund budget ended May 31, 2015, with an adjusted budget of $14,044,155. The revenues came in at almost $500,000 more than the adjusted budget amount, highlighting state and federal aid came in more, at $148,000. Fines and forfeitures through the justice court came in at about $100,000 more. On the expenditure side, the budget came in under by around $100,000, highlighted by the $59,000 under in public safety; $33,000 under in culture and recreation. The departmental income in the revenue also up, about $162,000. I believe this is directly related to the Rec Department and the growing Rec Department. It has been an excellent revenue stream.

  • The Malign Hand
    Staddon Preface The Malign Hand McGraw-Hill – 2012 (draft) i Staddon Preface To Lucinda ii Staddon Preface Acknowledgements I thank first, Duke University, for research support and for providing an atmosphere conducive to interdisciplinary research over many years. I am also grateful to York University, UK, for a research home during several summers. I thank libraries – The British Library, the University of York library, the City of York Public Library and, especially, the libraries of Duke University. The internet has been indispensable. Without it, getting up to speed in many areas of knowledge novel to me five years ago would have been nearly impossible. For comments on the manuscript and on talks I have given about this topic I thank Jérémie Jozefowiez, Armando Machado, Jessica Staddon and Knox Huston. I thank my agent, Don Fehr, for cutting my original draft down to a more focused form. I am grateful to NSF and NIH for research support over many years. As this book was going to press, I became aware of a couple of others, by writers more expert than I in the arcana of finance, making very many of the same points: British finance experts Kevin Dowd and Martin Hutchinson’s “Alchemists of Loss: How Modern Finance and Government Intervention Crashed the Financial System” (Wiley, 2010) and Australian economist Steve Keen’s “Debunking Economics - Revised and Expanded Edition: The Naked Emperor Dethroned?” (Zed Books, 2011). We differ to some extent on the cures, but the diagnoses are similar. iii Staddon Preface Table of Contents PREFACE INTRODUCTION Part One CHAPTER 1 The Malign Hand CHAPTER 2 Democracy, Fairness and the Tytler Dilemma CHAPTER 3 Value and Reason CHAPTER 4 Efficiency and Unpredictability CHAPTER 5 The Housing Bubble CHAPTER 6 Market Instability and the Myth of Comparative Statics CHAPTER 7 Growth and the Conservation of Money CHAPTER 8 Debt, Inflation and the Central Bank CHAPTER 9 J.
