      1921: The Crash That Cured Itself

      James Grant’s exploration of America’s last governmentally untreated depression serves as a vital resource for conservative economists. This well-researched history simplifies complex economic concepts while intertwining significant events with engaging anecdotes. During the 1920-1921 economic slump, Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding seemingly ignored the crisis, opting for policies that modern economists might deem outdated. Faced with falling prices, wages, and employment, the government balanced the budget and raised interest rates through the Federal Reserve, without any stimulus measures. Remarkably, a robust recovery began by late 1921. However, by 1929, the economy deteriorated as the Hoover administration implemented the very policies that Wilson and Harding had rejected. Grant argues against federal intervention during downturns, asserting that the well-meaning efforts to sustain industrial wages exacerbated the recession, transforming it into the Great Depression. He provides valuable lessons from this earlier period that can inform current and future economic strategies. This compelling narrative challenges conventional wisdom on recession management and serves as a crucial reminder for lawmakers today.

      Second to None; A Military Romance, In Three Volumes
    • Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg war der Schotte Sir John Hepburn wohl der fähigste Anführer auf schwedischer Seite. Er war ein typischer Mann der Tat und einer der berühmtesten Soldaten, den die Welt je gesehen hat. Vom Führer eines kleinen Fähnleins von Pikenieren in der Leibgarde des Winterkönigs bei der Schlacht am Weißen Berg entwickelte er sich erst zum Führer der berühmten Grünen Brigade, dann zum Marschall von Frankreich und militärischen Berater Richelieus. Hepburn gilt als erster Kommandant der damals in französischen Diensten stehenden Eliteeinheit 'Royal Scots'. In seiner Begabung für die Befehlsführung vereinte er schnelle Entscheidungen mit verwegenem Mut. Ansehnlich im Aussehen und ehrwürdig in seiner Haltung überstrahlte er seine Kameraden in der Pracht seiner Rüstung - der einzige Makel, den der schlichte schwedische König Gustav Adolf an ihm fand. Sir John Hepburn war immer bei seinen Soldaten an vorderster Front, genoss deren Vertrauen und aufrichtige Zuneigung. Er starb wie er gelebt hatte: Bei der Belagerung Zaberns 1636 setzte in einer Mauerbresche eine Musketenkugel seinem jungen Dasein ein Ende. Die vorliegende illustrierte und kommentierte Übersetzung der Biografie 'Memoires and Adventures of Sir John Hepburn' von James Grant (1851) ist Teil der Reihe 'Zeitzeugen des 30-jährigen Krieges'.
