The 'new economy' boom is set to become the 'new economy' bust. The optimistic vision of the future has become the conventional wisdom. The internet economy is flourishing. We live in a transformed society where e-commerce ventures rule and both knowledge and wealth are just a click away. The internet age has delivered us to the Promised Land. But is this really the case? Cracks are beginning to appear in paradise as one dot com company after another is brought to its knees. Growth cannot be sustained forever. The bubble is set to burst and we face an internet depression. Caught up within all the hype and hearsay, the overriding factor fuelling the media panic is the fact that industry and investors do not seem to be prepared for it. The Coming Internet Depression sets the record straight and asks why the high-tech boom will go bust, how bad will it be, and how to prosper regardless. History shows that periods of great technological change are inevitably punctuated by deep downturns. The opportunities for wealth are so alluring that it becomes rational for even sober-sided businesses and investors to take big chances. In the rush to take advantage of the new opportunities, spending, stock valuations and debt race far ahead of that which the economy can support. As with railroads in the 1880s and the auto industry in the 1920s, the internet has eclipsed the rest of the economy. Companies and consumers keep borrowing and spending in the belief that tomorrow will bring an even-more prosperous society, but when sales finally peak and the only way is down, the economy will crash and we will be left facing an economic depression. One-time prophet of the new economy and award-winning journalist, Michael Mandel investigates the rise of the information revolution and illustrates how those who have staked their future on the illusion of excessive optimism should now prepare for its inevitable collapse. The Coming Internet Depression explains:why an internet depression is not only possible but increasingly likely in the next few years when the internet depression is likely to start how bad the crash is likely to be how investors, workers and businesses can navigate the coming depression. Prospering during a boom might be easy but it is the ability to make good decisions during the bad years that will determine who comes out a winner in the end. Michael Mandel shows you how individuals and businesses can not only ride the storm but also reap substantial rewards through smart financial strategies. Written for investors, policy makers, fund managers, management consultants, employees, and all those interested in their economic future, The Coming Internet Depression will help you prepare and prosper while others will be struggling to survive.

How America Gets Away with Murder: Illegal Wars, Collateral Damage and Crimes Against Humanity

"Exciting, original, and completely convincing . . . This book is essential reading for anybody who wants to understand how the law really works in international affairs, and it throws a great deal of light on those international affairs themselves." Edward S. Herman "This closely reasoned and carefully documented study is sad and grim, and necessary. Unless its lessons are heeded by citizens of the rich and powerful states, the fate of the world will be left to the whim of those with the guns and the faith to enforce their will." Noam Chomsky They call it "collateral damage," but legally and morally it is really mass murder. In Kosovo, America claimed its war was a "humanitarian intervention," in Afghanistan, "self-defense," and in Iraq, it claimed the authority of the Security Council of the United Nations. Yet each of these wars was illegal according to established rules of international law. According to these rules, illegal wars fall within the category of "supreme international crimes". So how come the war crimes tribunals never manage to turn their sights on America and always wind up putting America's enemies -- "the usual suspects" -- on trial? This new book by renowned scholar Michael Mandel offers a critical account of America's illegal wars and a war crimes system that has granted America's leaders an unjust and dangerous impunity, effectively encouraging their illegal wars and the war crimes that always flow from them.

The Jewish Hour tells the story of the author's quest to learn more about his late father's Yiddish radio show as described in the pages of a Toronto Yiddish newspaper, the Kanader Nayes (1936-1954). Many articles from the paper, translated into English for the first time, provide fresh and immediate accounts of a myriad of cultural events, political rallies and daily concerns within Toronto's Jewish community in the pivotal periods before, during and after the Second World War. The Jewish Hour introduces us to Max Mandel, Opatow-born star of the local Yiddish radio scene; Dorothy Dworkin, newspaper publisher, travel agent and co-founder of Mount Sinai Hospital; and a plethora of local performers, politicians, cantors and impresarios. Mandel's finely-researched tale also touches upon many renowned cultural and political visitors to Toronto including Molly Picon, Sholom Asch, Morris Schwartz, Emma Goldman, Chaim Weizmann and Golda Myerson (before she was Golda Meir). The Jewish Hour adds a significant new chapter to our knowledge of the history of Toronto's Jewish community. An appendix offers translated and transliterated lyrics of great Yiddish songs from the radio show and provides an internet link for free streaming and downloading.   Michael Mandel (1948-2013) was a law professor at Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto for almost 40 years as well as an author, activist and singer. This book was a labour of love which he completed in the final weeks of his life.
