An Introduction to Capitalism

Embedded in an historical account of the development of U.S. capitalism up to the present day, this book gives the reader a thorough description of the major aspects of the U.S. economy, as well as a theoretical understanding of the overall economy. A particular focus of this book is how free markets work in capitalism and the interrelationship between markets and the government. Of particular interest in the current economic situation is the question of what can the government do to get the economy going again. Underlying the standard economics text today is the fundamental belief that leaving markets as free as possible will lead to the ideal economy. Directly opposing this approach, this book takes a critical stance toward free markets. Rather than viewing markets as the ideal solution to almost all economic problems, this book argues that markets are not always the answer. On the contrary, they are often the problem, and must be corrected by government action. Related to this critical stance, and in a further departure from current economics texts, this book takes an explicitly Keynesian approach to the macro-economy. Rejecting the free market approach which dominates both micro- and macro-economics today, this book offers a fresh perspective on economics and the economy today.

Paul and Yuko Swanson have done students of English and Japanese a remarkable good turn. Where other textbook authors have concentrated on making language-learning so complex that only a school curriculum can handle it, or so simple that you can teach yourself, the Swansons have given intelligent aid to an alternative model of education: learn-yourself-by-teaching-someone-else. Obviously, exchanging languages works. Bulletin boards and classified ads across the country carry messages just like the title of this book. For despite the best efforts of professionals to expropriate conversational skills for their own field of specialization, there is no denying the basic fact that we are all experts in the language we were born with. What the Swansons have done is to provide some basic organization to that native expertise, while maintaining the informal setting that makes exchanging languages so appealing. As a quick glance through these pages will show, the language-patterns and drills are based on ordinary conversation, and the helpful "Culture Notes" are drawn from everyday experience. There is nothing artificial or bookish about them. In this sense, it is the kind of book that only bi-lingual and bi-cultural folk like Paul and Yuko Swanson could have written. The Japan Publications Trading Company is to be congratulated for supporting this effort at helping students of language of all ages to do better what they are already doing well.

Dexter McCandless is a high school senior bestowed with far more gifts than the usual high school senior: an awe-inspiring, prodigious golf talent and a seemingly limitless future. But when a painful family trauma spills out in the most public of ways, Dexter's life on and off the course crumbles, leading him to Michael Owens, a reclusive English teacher whose shared passion for golf forms a bond between student and teacher. Together, the grown man and young boy journey towards a place where Dexter can learn to cope with the unfolding pain of his family's destruction. Yet even as he becomes more and more intertwined with Dexter's search for healing, Michael is taken back to a long abandoned past to confront his own hidden but unforgotten family secret. A heartwarming novel of golf and life, A Country Mile To Par is a tender story of a student, teacher, two fathers, a stray dog, and an arduous shared journey from pain to forgiveness, and, along the way, a miraculous and healing quest for a United States Amateur Golf Championship.
