Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in Great Neck, a wealthy town on the north shore of Long Island. The riches here were not inherited, but earned. The town was a haven for newly rich Jews in the 1950s, and they were in love with the dream of WASP American elegance. #2 In Great Neck, the Great Neck of my childhood, there was one central difference. While other towns, and the TV shows that represented them, had families that went to church on Sundays, Great Neck had families that went to synagogue. #3 I grew up in Great Neck, a town with a majority Jewish population. I never felt any animosity toward Jews, and I always thought of myself as an American. The idea that my Jewishness might somehow prevent me from being fully American never occurred to me. #4 I was an American, through and through. I was raised in Great Neck, a suburb of New York, and I was raised as an American. I was called to faith in Jesus Christ, and I was unsure if it was a real religious conversion or just the final stage in the process of assimilation that had begun in my hometown so long ago.
Summary of Stuffocation by James Wallman
Discover how you can find more to life by having less. How often do we associate happiness with material possessions? Okay, maybe most of us understand that money can’t buy us happiness, but does that still deter us from wanting the latest model of that cool car, or the bigger house in the nicer neighborhood, or the latest television or cell phone? Our society has become ingrained into thinking that we need the newest models, some of us even believe success comes in the possessions that we hold. This has led to a destructive way of life which author James Wallman calls Stuffocation. As we accumulate material goods, we clutter our houses damaging our mental health and putting our lives in danger. Luckily, society is largely moving away from the consumerism of our past, but how can we become happier while still boosting our economy? Wallman has the solution to cure us of stuffocation while simultaneously contributing to the economy. Keep reading to find out how stuffocation can lead to serious mental illness, how we became so materialistic in the first place, and lastly, how to cure yourself and find a lifetime of peace and happiness.

Essential Microeconomics for Public Policy Analysis
Author: John M. Levy
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
Release Date: 1995-11-30
John Levy's text presents microeconomic theory for use in analyzing and formulating public policy. It couples a direct and non-intimidating approach to essential theory with a presentation that is sophisticated at the policy level. It does not attempt to cover the entire body of economic theory, but rather presents those elements of theory most relevant to courses in public economics and public policy in such programs as public administration, policy analysis, health planning, environmental management, urban affairs, and urban planning. The text is divided into two parts. The first introduces basic concepts with an emphasis on their philosophical underpinnings and policy uses; the second consists of six essays on policy-related subjects, selected to make use of concepts presented in the first part. Among the unusual features of the book are the discussion of the tax expenditure concept, benefit cost analysis with numerical example, substantial discussions of the origins and philosophical implications of economic man as a behavioral model, and an entire chapter devoted to public choice.
