Free Download Fred Harrison, "Boom Bust: House Prices, Banking and the Depression of 2010"
English | 2010 | pages: 305 | ISBN: 0856832545, 0856831891 | PDF | 1,0 mb
Using the United Kingdom as a case study, this well-researched account shows how, for more than 200 years, a remarkably regular 18-year cycle of boom and bust can be traced to the peaks and troughs in land prices. This exploration reveals how governments, during the upswing of the cycle, are complicit in encouraging a belief that property prices will continue upwards indefinitely because of their skilled management of the economy and attributes the current crises to public policy on both sides of the Atlantic. An alternative plan to neutralize the next boom-one that would lead to a more stable and environmentally friendly economy with a more equitable distribution of wealth-is also presented.

Cinema is full of neurotic personalities, but few things are more transfixing than a woman losing her mind onscreen. Horror as a genre provides the most welcoming platform for these histrionics: crippling paranoia, desperate loneliness, masochistic death-wishes, dangerous obsessiveness, apocalyptic hysteria. Unlike her male counterpart-the eccentric’-the female neurotic lives a shamed existence, making these films those rare places where her destructive emotions get to play.
