David McWilliams Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Predmet našich túžob. Motor našej geniality. Najväčší vynález sveta. Náš svet sa točí okolo peňazí, ale málokedy sa nad tým zamýšľame. Čo sú peniaze, odkiaľ sa berú a môžu sa minúť? Aká je to látka, ktorá poháňa obchod, revolúcie a objavy, inšpiruje umenie, filozofiu a vedu? V tejto poučnej, niekedy neúctivej a často prekvapivej ceste históriou peňazí mapuje ekonóm David McWilliams vzťah medzi ľuďmi a peniazmi – od sčítacieho kolíka v starovekej Afrike po mince v republikánskom Grécku, od matematiky v stredovekom arabskom svete po Francúzsku revolúciu a od vzniku amerického dolára až po dnešné kryptomeny. Na tejto výprave sa čitateľ stretáva s mnohými postavami, ktoré inovovali peniaze a menili život ľudského spoločenstva v rámci neustáleho menového vývoja, ktorý trvá už päťtisíc rokov. McWilliams odhaľuje tajomstvá a moc peňazí, vysvetľuje, prečo sú dôležité a ako formujú náš svet.

Renaissance Nation is a thrilling account of Ireland's vertiginous rise and a timely exploration of its conflicted present, where stark decisions await the next generation of would-be revolutionaries.

A forensic, entertaining polemic from the author of The Pope's Children, this work examines Ireland's dire economic situation, deeply in debt and reliant on the IMF, EU, and bond markets. With an economy frozen and years of austerity looming, the author argues that it didn't have to be this way. David McWilliams, who accurately predicted the dangers of the Irish property bubble, delves into the unusual economics behind Ireland's current crisis and proposes an alternative path. He highlights the impact of debt and austerity on everyday Irish citizens, asserting that austerity is ineffective. By drawing from historical examples, he suggests that recovery is possible if we remain open to innovative solutions. This book connects economics to the lives of ordinary people, similar to how The Pope's Children linked economics to the boom years. With a more urgent call for a new approach, it addresses the challenges of the bust era. McWilliams's ability to make complex economic narratives engaging and his humor set him apart. He is recognized as a leading popular economist and a columnist for major publications, advocating for fresh policies informed by established economic theory.

After tens years of a boom, Irish society has been turned on its head by a generation war.

Meet The Pope's Children, the beneficiaries of Wonderbra Economics. This is the special generation, the Irish baby boom of the 1970s that peaked nine months to the day after the Pope's visit. There are 620,000 of them, squeezed into the middle and lifted up by the Expectocracy. Ireland is blurring. Out of this haze has come the Full-on Nation, the most hedonisitic generation ever. David McWilliams' brilliant research and analysis of Ireland is a celebration of success. In an easy-to-read style, he takes us to Deckland, that suburban state of mind where you will find the Kells Angels, Breakfast Roll Man, Low GI Jane and RoboPaddy. Come face to face with the You're a Star generation, Billy Bunker, fair-trade Frank, Carrot Juice Contrarians and Bouncy Castle Brendan. We also meet the HiCos, Hibernian Cosmopolitans, the new elite whose distance from Deckland is measured by appreciations and cultivations that Deckland's rampant credit just can't buy. Entertaining and informative, The Pope's Children told of the vast surge of ambition, money, optimisim and hope in Ireland during the boom.
