A map of the new normal : how inflation, war, and sanctions will change your world forever / Rubin, Jeff
"Bestselling author and economist Jeff Rubin looks ahead and warns that the inflation that took the world by surprise in 2021 is in fact the front of a perfect storm of war, supply-chain disruption, geopolitical realignment, domestic upheaval, and energy scarcity that will change everything. During the pandemic, the borrowing patterns of the Canadian government inflated a national deficit by a factor of ten in just two years -- and the time has come to pay for it. The ramifications of international COVID-19 spending could potentially last for decades, and inevitably one of the first manifestations of these consequences will be an unhooking of private lenders' interest rates from central banks. That is just the first symptom of a series of cascading upheavals. Supply-chain disruptions have already shown the vulnerability of the globalism model that has fueled growth for the past decades. War has not only shown the fragility of the status quo, but has revealed diplomatic and economic rifts that promise to shift trading patterns, which means access to markets and to resources. At the same time, the precarity of the US dollar underlines the life-or-death importance of those resources, energy in particular. And consolidation of a Eurasian bloc, from Russia to China, and encompassing old enemies like Iran and former US ally Saudi Arabia, hint that the upheaval of Covid was just the beginning. Tracking trade wars and kinetic wars, central banks and run on banks, pipelines blown up and startups knocked down, The New World Order gives us a glimpse of a near future that will look very different from the recent past. It reminds us that our mortgage rates and job security, our grocery bills and investments, are all tied to events set in motion by governments, corporations, and black swans around the world."--

Badvertising : polluting our minds and fuelling climate chaos / Simms, Andrew
"Advertising is selling us a dream, a lifestyle. It promises us fulfilment and tells us where to buy it -- from international flights to a vast array of goods we consume like there is no tomorrow. The truth is, if advertising succeeds in keeping us on our current trajectory, there may not be a tomorrow. In Badvertising, Andrew Simms and Leo Murray raise the alarm on an industry that is making us both unhealthy and unhappy, and that is driving the planet to the precipice of environmental collapse in the process. What is the psychological impact of being barraged by literally thousands of advertisements a day? How does the commercialisation of our public spaces weaken our sense of belonging? How are car manufacturers, airlines and oil companies lobbying to weaken climate action? Examining the devastating impact of advertising on our minds and on the planet, Badvertising also crucially explores what we can do to change things for the better"--

How to listen when markets speak : risks, myths, and investment opportunities in a radically reshaped economy / Mcdonald, Lawrence G.
"A New York Times bestselling author and leading expert on market risk argues that seismic shifts in the global economy will trigger a multi-trillion-dollar migration of wealth, tracing the fateful decisions that created this crisis -- and outlines new rules of investing for the forward-thinking. From Wall Street to the White House, the fantasy of an eventual "return to normal" is still alive and well, nurtured by dangerously outdated theories. But the economic world as we know it -- and the rules that govern it -- are over. In the coming decade, we'll witness sustained inflation, a series of sovereign and corporate debt crises, and a thundering of capital out of financial assets into hard assets -- and few are prepared. Lawrence McDonald got a real-world education in market risk when, as a Lehman Brothers VP, he watched the firm ignore flashing warning signs before its collapse. His analysis led him to identify twenty-one indicators for gauging the health of an economy and detecting early signals of opportunity and danger. In How to Listen When Markets Speak, McDonald unveils his unique predictive models, connecting surprising dots between past, present, and future and outlining actionable trading ideas. Rather than merely doomsaying, How to Listen When Markets Speak equips readers to make sense of our current moment, resist reactionary narratives and baseless analysis, and pounce on a new investing playbook"--

Keeping finance personal : ditch the "shoulds" and the shame and rewrite your money story / Fulmore, Ellyce
"Ellyce Fulmore's aha moment for her own financial health came when she realized that the reason she and so many others have struggled to pay off debt, find an apartment, or build savings has little to do with being "bad at money."

Now in Keep Finance Personal, Ellyce shares outside the box advice that will help readers find the financial security and confidence they crave. With chapters focusing on the importance of safe spaces when dealing with your finances, personal values, couple dynamics (for any couple), vices and coping mechanisms, this is not your typical financial advice book. Ellyce asks readers to engage with how their upbringing, gender identity, and mental health impact their decisions, and guides them through self-exploration exercises that will lead them to a financial plan tailored to work for them. This book is for the teenager who was kicked out for being gay, the lesbian couple searching for a place to rent, the neurodivergent person unable to keep their finances in order, the Black woman facing racism and sexism at her local bank-all the people that don't fit into the mold that traditional finance advice is aimed at. Filled with interviews and from a diverse range of voices, Keep Finance Personal provides a path to develop a healthy money mindset, develop key money management skills, and understand the intersectionality of money and identity so you can take control of your financial life in authentic, empowered way"--
