It is 1702, and in the lawless Caribbean Sea, young Matthew Loftus captains his ship, the Cornelius, and vows to engage in honest trade rather than piracy and plunder. But his crew lusts after the spoils that their fast, well-armed vessel could win, and discontent begins to rumble. Meanwhile, Loftus is pursued by the English Navy on a false charge of mutiny. Matthew must evade the King’s ships and escape the attention of ruthless privateers. His only chance of pardon rests with a secret almanac that promises that elusive prize—to solve the Longitude Problem. But is the almanac what it seems? Through wild gales and fierce sea battles, uprisings and reversals of fortune, Matthew sails his beloved schooner towards victory.

Why our addiction to debt caused the global financial crisis and is the root of our financial woes Adair Turner became chairman of Britain's Financial Services Authority just as the global financial crisis struck in 2008, and he played a leading role in redesigning global financial regulation. In this eye-opening book, he sets the record straight about what really caused the crisis. It didn’t happen because banks are too big to fail—our addiction to private debt is to blame. Between Debt and the Devil challenges the belief that we need credit growth to fuel economic growth, and that rising debt is okay as long as inflation remains low. In fact, most credit is not needed for economic growth—but it drives real estate booms and busts and leads to financial crisis and depression. Turner explains why public policy needs to manage the growth and allocation of credit creation, and why debt needs to be taxed as a form of economic pollution. Banks need far more capital, real estate lending must be restricted, and we need to tackle inequality and mitigate the relentless rise of real estate prices. Turner also debunks the big myth about fiat money—the erroneous notion that printing money will lead to harmful inflation. To escape the mess created by past policy errors, we sometimes need to monetize government debt and finance fiscal deficits with central-bank money. Between Debt and the Devil shows why we need to reject the assumptions that private credit is essential to growth and fiat money is inevitably dangerous. Each has its advantages, and each creates risks that public policy must consciously balance.

The Description of the Young Pirate Captain by Author: Ken Moorehead The story is about a normal child growing up he is the son of the devil and is real true father is the devil. He is just a real young child and his father the devil is trying to protect him from the universe which seems mostly out to destroy the unknowing innocent child. He is just a normal average child growing up full of curiosity to learn, exploring with innocence unaware of the danger to himself from the entire universe part of that dangerous is the fear of centuries of the devil. The father knows of the danger about the harm what could occur so he opens the gates of hell to come forward into the universe of earth from hell he brings within a temporary home sort of similar to a summer rental. He brings full of full platoon of protectors of demons there also the Devil, Satan and Lucifer. There is also the angels from heaven, sometimes viewing even god sometimes views the child because this child may change the world in the future for the better. He is just a child normally slowly growing up the story is some about the child growing up what is occurring he seems momentarily innocent of the universe he does know about the place where he is the world and nothing about the universe. The devil knows some but seeming he does not know all but the danger of the universe for child he knows about this so at the time story he is trying to teach the very young child. He is trying to teach him before he goes away where he may leave the child forever and possibly eternity because his power is limited by restrictions that are even unknown to him in the universe of earth. The father the devil keeps trying to teach the child the young pirate captain before the time may run out forever but the demons, the child, the devil and even part of heaven are sometimes over whelmed by the beginning occurrences. There has been adversary that been there since the beginning of time mysteriously unknown which assisted in the creation of the earth and parts of the universe. This may even have partly created the devil himself which why he is even confused by it or lacking this knowledge he thinks he knows the rules about things but he is unsure what he is to do when it comes to this unkown thing. This thing is called nature but whom is also the punisher it is the fear of all hell, the devils and demons it is the fear in all of the universes. They travel and the devil fears mostly for his son’s life the young pirate captain or what may occur to him. This is just the beginning of the young child as he starts to come forward, to first appear as a child and just a few stories about some occurrences that have taken place so far. I think this is enjoyable short stories I hope you choose this story to read, and enjoy this bizarre short stories. I hope you like this creation of the beginning amateur work, I would like to get reviews back opinions what could be changed what it is you like or dislike and encourage hoping you will be able to write about the story. I tried to stay focused on one subject the very young pirate captain and the father the devil some about the beginning of the child growing up. I apologize in advance if the story is not interesting but I meant no offense by the writing in any way to anyone, place or persons it does not reflect the true nature of any it just is a story completely created it is just a limited fiction stories. The story: The Young Pirate Captain is trying to describe about life including the current time now. The page that follows is more about what the writer or I Author: Ken Moorehead occurrences or thought about the creation when writing. I hope life is good, moving forward and I most definitely would like it if others enjoyed my writing the: Pirate Captain or the very young child the Pirate Captain.
