Emily Arsenault (The Rose Notes) makes her YA debut with a “page-ripping whodunit” about Marnie Wells, who comes face-to-face with the occult when she discovers her ability to read tea leaves might help solve the mystery of a classmate's disappearance. Marnie Wells knows that she creeps people out. It’s not really her fault; her brother is always in trouble, and her grandmother, who’s been their guardian since Mom took off is . . . eccentric. So no one even bats an eye when Marnie finds an old book about reading tea leaves and starts telling fortunes. The ceremony and symbols are weirdly soothing, but she knows—and hopes everyone else does too—that none of it’s real. Then basketball star Matt Cotrell asks for a reading. He’s been getting emails from someone claiming to be his best friend, Andrea Quinley, who disappeared and is presumed dead. And while they’d always denied they were romantically involved, a cloud of suspicion now hangs over Matt. But Marnie sees a kindred spirit: someone who, like her, is damaged by association. Suddenly, the readings seem real. And, despite the fact that they’re telling Marnie things about Matt that make him seem increasingly dangerous, she can’t shake her initial attraction to him. In fact, it’s getting stronger. And that could turn out to be deadly.

""Wealthcraft: Essential Principles and Techniques for Building Long-Term Financial Security and Growing Personal Wealth"" offers a fresh perspective on achieving financial freedom. This comprehensive guide challenges conventional wisdom by presenting wealth creation as a craft that can be mastered through mindset transformation, strategic techniques, and sustainable management. The book argues that anyone can attain financial security by adopting a principle-based approach to money management, regardless of their starting point. Divided into three main sections, ""Wealthcraft"" progresses from developing a wealth-oriented psychology to practical asset-growing strategies and long-term wealth preservation. It draws upon economic research, case studies, and behavioral economics to support its arguments, making complex financial concepts accessible to a broad audience. The book's unique strength lies in its innovative framework, treating wealth-building as an adaptable skill rather than a fixed set of rules. By blending insights from psychology, systems thinking, and personal development, ""Wealthcraft"" provides readers with a holistic understanding of wealth dynamics. It emphasizes that true financial freedom encompasses not only monetary success but also personal fulfillment and positive societal impact. This approach equips readers with the critical thinking skills needed to navigate the complexities of modern finance while aligning their wealth-building strategies with their values and long-term goals.

The United States of America reigns as the most powerful economic nation on the planet. That’s because our incredible level of freedom has liberated our creative talents, empowering us to pursue work, innovation, and enterprise. Modern governments, however, have departed from this freedom-embracing principle – and far too many citizens are ready to exchange precious freedom for promised benefits that may or may not appear. In this book, the authors explore the economics of freedom, answering questions such as: • What policies will reduce our ability to maintain our world leadership position? • How are individual freedoms increasingly limited? • What can we do to protect the power, pleasure and benefits of freedom? The authors also delve into the birth of the nation, noting that it’s clear that America’s founders viewed government as an institution designed to promote life and liberty, not to interfere with it. This is in striking contrast to the view that citizens exist to support and provide government with the resources to do what it wants to do. Discover why capitalism is the soul of America and why we must grasp the impact economic policy has on freedom.

Description For more than 50 years the United States has attempted to destabilize and isolate the Castro regime in Cuba with the use of trade and financial sanctions, a policy that has fallen short of its objective. In this Policy Analysis, Gary Clyde Hufbauer and Barbara Kotschwar suggest that the sands of time may accomplish what economic pressure did not. Raúl Castro, president of Cuba since 2008, plans to step down at the end of 2018, implying a new regime in five years. Various forces are starting to emerge favoring economic normalization if Cuba appears ready to change its policies as well as its leadership. The authors caution, however, that a unilateral dismantling of US sanctions without insuring that proper institutions are in place in Cuba could squander a golden opportunity for US companies. They argue that a new US-Cuba relationship must entail a lifting of Cuba's barriers to trade and investment, liberalization of its economy, and the adoption of democratic institutions. They offer a roadmap for a future US-Cuba rapprochement.

When faced with material crises governments do not call upon historians, anthropologists, political scholars, or psychologists. They call on economists. These have developed the most coherent and convincing description of how society organizes itself through a system of accounting amenable to precise analysis. Mastering this analysis is the challenge of the apprentice economist. Learn to become a master from Filip Palda, who earned his Ph.D. in economics at the University of Chicago. Here is what Nobel Prize winners have said about Palda's previous books: "Interesting and well written." Gary S. Becker. Nobel Prize in economics 1992. "Palda offers a novel and interesting perspective." James M. Buchanan. Nobel Prize in economics 1987.
