Book Synopsis The Forgotten Depression by : James Grant
Download or read book The Forgotten Depression written by James Grant and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By the publisher of the prestigious Grant's Interest Rate Observer, an account of the deep economic slump of 1920-21 that proposes, with respect to federal intervention, "less is more." This is a free-market rejoinder to the Keynesian stimulus applied by Bush and Obama to the 2007-09 recession, in whose aftereffects, Grant asserts, the nation still toils. James Grant tells the story of America's last governmentally-untreated depression; relatively brief and self-correcting, it gave way to the Roaring Twenties. His book appears in the fifth year of a lackluster recovery from the overmedicated downturn of 2007-2009. In 1920-21, Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding met a deep economic slump by seeming to ignore it, implementing policies that most twenty-first century economists would call backward. Confronted with plunging prices, wages, and employment, the government balanced the budget and, through the Federal Reserve, raised interest rates. No "stimulus" was administered, and a powerful, job-filled recovery was under way by late in 1921. In 1929, the economy once again slumped--and kept right on slumping as the Hoover administration adopted the very policies that Wilson and Harding had declined to put in place. Grant argues that well-intended federal intervention, notably the White House-led campaign to prop up industrial wages, helped to turn a bad recession into America's worst depression. He offers the experience of the earlier depression for lessons for today and the future. This is a powerful response to the prevailing notion of how to fight recession. The enterprise system is more resilient than even its friends give it credit for being, Grant demonstrates"--

Book Synopsis I Don't Want to Talk About It by : Terrence Real
Download or read book I Don't Want to Talk About It written by Terrence Real and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-03-11 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestseller for over 20 years, I Don’t Want to Talk About It is a groundbreaking and hopeful guide to understanding and destigmatizing male depression, essential not only for men who may be suffering but for the people who love them. Twenty years of experience treating men and their families has convinced psychotherapist Terrence Real that depression is a silent epidemic in men—that men hide their condition from family, friends, and themselves to avoid the stigma of depression’s “un-manliness.” Problems that we think of as typically male—difficulty with intimacy, workaholism, alcoholism, abusive behavior, and rage—are really attempts to escape depression. And these escape attempts only hurt the people men love and pass their condition on to their children. This groundbreaking book is the “pathway out of darkness” that these men and their families seek. Real reveals how men can unearth their pain, heal themselves, restore relationships, and break the legacy of abuse. He mixes penetrating analysis with compelling tales of his patients and even his own experiences with depression as the son of a violent, depressed father and the father of two young sons.

Book excerpt: 'I Had a Black Dog says with wit, insight, economy and complete understanding what other books take 300 pages to say. Brilliant and indispensable.' - Stephen Fry 'Finally, a book about depression that isn't a prescriptive self-help manual. Johnston's deftly expresses how lonely and isolating depression can be for sufferers. Poignant and humorous in equal measure.' Sunday Times There are many different breeds of Black Dog affecting millions of people from all walks of life. The Black Dog is an equal opportunity mongrel. It was Winston Churchill who popularized the phrase Black Dog to describe the bouts of depression he experienced for much of his life. Matthew Johnstone, a sufferer himself, has written and illustrated this moving and uplifting insight into what it is like to have a Black Dog as a companion and how he learned to tame it and bring it to heel.
Book Synopsis Ordinary Insanity by : Sarah Menkedick
Download or read book Ordinary Insanity written by Sarah Menkedick and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exposé and diagnosis of the silent epidemic of fear afflicting new mothers, and a candid, feminist deep dive into the culture, science, history, and psychology of contemporary motherhood Anxiety among mothers is a growing but largely unrecognized crisis. In the transition to motherhood and the years that follow, countless women suffer from overwhelming feelings of fear, grief, and obsession that do not fit neatly within the outmoded category of “postpartum depression.” These women soon discover that there is precious little support or time for their care, even as expectations about what mothers should do and be continue to rise. Many struggle to distinguish normal worry from crippling madness in a culture in which their anxiety is often ignored, normalized, or, most dangerously, seen as taboo. Drawing on extensive research, numerous interviews, and the raw particulars of her own experience with anxiety, writer and mother Sarah Menkedick gives us a comprehensive examination of the biology, psychology, history, and societal conditions surrounding the crushing and life-limiting fear that has become the norm for so many. Woven into the stories of women’s lives is an examination of the factors—such as the changing structure of the maternal brain, the ethically problematic ways risk is construed during pregnancy, and the marginalization of motherhood as an identity—that explore how motherhood came to be an experience so dominated by anxiety, and how mothers might reclaim it. Writing with profound empathy, visceral honesty, and deep understanding, Menkedick makes clear how critically we need to expand our awareness of, compassion for, and care for women’s lives.
Book Synopsis A Great Leap Forward by : Alexander J. Field
Download or read book A Great Leap Forward written by Alexander J. Field and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-26 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold re-examination of the history of U.S. economic growth is built around a novel claim, that productive capacity grew dramatically across the Depression years (1929-1941) and that this advance provided the foundation for the economic and military success of the United States during the Second World War as well as for the golden age (1948-1973) that followed.Alexander J. Field takes a fresh look at growth data and concludes that, behind a backdrop of double-digit unemployment, the 1930s actually experienced very high rates of technological and organizational innovation, fueled by the maturing of a privately funded research and development system and the government-funded build-out of the country's surface road infrastructure. This significant new volume in the Yale Series in Economic and Financial History invites new discussion of the causes and consequences of productivity growth over the last century and a half and on our current prospects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you have ever felt "kicked" to the point of feeling like everyone is against you ... like maybe someone was putting a "kick me" sign on your back, then you'll identify with the kick-me-girl named Kimi. But this is more than a story. With plainspoken boldness, Saralyn Smith McLean describes the often hidden and silent struggle of Christians depression. Not only has she personally experienced it firsthand, but she has done her homework and drawn on many sources to substantiate her message. This book is a mix of a short story, self-help guide to treatments, and inspirational treatise. May God grant that the silent struggle that you or a loved one may be going through no longer remain silent, that the struggle itself will cease to be the deep-seated problem that depression can be.

Book Synopsis I Am Not Silent by : Gail Schmidkunz
Download or read book I Am Not Silent written by Gail Schmidkunz and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2012-07-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took a family tragedy of immeasurable proportions to bring author Gail Schmidkunz face-to-face with one thing he realized he had neglected to teach his childrenwhat to do if you are detained by the police. This left his son, Zach, unprepared for the horrible ordeal that awaited him while dealing with the side effects of abruptly ceasing a drug used for treating depression. It was an event that would change their lives forever. The Schmidkunzes, a Christian, middle-class family, were immensely proud of their son, Zach, as he headed off to college. Zach had always been an easygoing young man who had never displayed an outburst of anger. When his grades began to plummet during his freshman year, Zach returned home to begin a different path. But, as his father details, it was not long before Zachs personality changed. He became reclusive, withdrawn, and suicidal; he was eventually prescribed Zoloft, an antidepressant that everyone trusted to be safe. It is only when Zachs parents discovered a body behind their couch and no sign of Zach that they realized they were in the midst of a nightmare instigated by side effects of the very drug they thought would help their son. I Am Not Silent shares the true story of one familys faith-filled, life-changing journey through depression and the subsequent after-effects of a prescription antidepressant that sheds much-needed light on the frightening issue of drug-induced insanity.
Book Synopsis When Depression is Silent by : Julia Ann Coleman
Download or read book When Depression is Silent written by Julia Ann Coleman and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little girl living in the white house with the fence grows into an adult surrounded by a fence of violence, crime, and shame. Undetected and denied diagnosis A young girl growing up in a middle-class family appearing to have all things she needed in the eyes of others, but behind the walls of her mind lived depravity, isolation, and the lack of love and affection. Julia’s parents failed to recognize the depression growing up with their little girl. Julia isolated herself from others which would linger on into her adulthood and depression that was kept silent. The undetected diagnosis sends her down the road to destruction with relationships and finally into a life of crime. Purpose of the pain destroys the promise Looking for love develops a false reality of love, abuse, violence, and deceptive behaviors that would place Julia in prison and a life of depression and suicidal issues. With each trial she encounters, she becomes closer to experiences that could ultimately destroy her and her children. A woman surrounded by so-called friends would wake up abandoned, incarcerated with strangers, and a long list of broken promises. Blessed results In the midst of threats of deceitfulness, depression, and sorrow, Julia is able to share the results of faithfulness, blessings, and commitment for changing her lifestyle and overcoming obstacles associated with the labeled consequences society attached to her for the remainder of her life. Due to hard work, finding a place of faith and honesty helped her make it through the process to stay in the race of life, seeing things from a different perspective. God stepped in several times to rescue her when she threw in the towel and could not see a way out.

Book Synopsis Transfer Spending, Taxes, and the American Welfare State by : Wallace C. Peterson
Download or read book Transfer Spending, Taxes, and the American Welfare State written by Wallace C. Peterson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1990-12-31 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1989 the federal government spent $1197 billion, a mind-boggling sum that is almost impossible to visualize. Since there were 248. 8 million people living in the United States in that year, the government spent an average of $4811 for every man, woman, and child in the nation. For a hypothetical family of four, federal spending in 1989 amounted to an average of$19,244. To put this sum in perspective, the money income of an American family averaged $35,270 in the same year. To finance spending $1197 billion, the government collected taxes from American citizens and residents in an amount of $1047 billion. Because of a shortfall between what it spent and what it took in taxes, the government had to borrow $150 billion, partly from individuals, but mostly from banks, insurance companies, and foreigners. How, where, and on whom did the federal government spend all this money? Since federal spending in 1989 totaled 23 cents in comparison to every dollar spent for the buying of goods and services, finding an answer to this question is not a trivial matter. Spending by Washington reaches into every nook and cranny of the economy, touching the lives and fortunes of almost everyone in the nation. Thus, answers to these questions are of more than academic interest.
