This classic refutation of Keynesian monetary policy and radical prescription for balanced growth in today's private sector economy was written in 1935 by Dr. Harold G. Moulton, the first president of the Brookings Institution (1916-1952) in response to the unsound approach embodied in the New Deal. Its applicability to the present day is seen by the fact that speculative uses of money and credit, along with massive government and consumer debt, threaten to bankrupt families, companies, and nations alike. THE FORMATION OF CAPITAL shows how we can reform the financial system to foster more rapid rates of sustainable growth while reversing our mounting deficits and debt. Moulton's work offers a framework for monetary policy that can spread prosperity, power and freedom to every citizen. Moulton also raises a radical point: Economic progress and growth need not be limited to existing accumulations of savings. Furthermore, his findings prove that the economy grows faster when it is not dependent on past savings, and businesses can employ "future savings" to finance their economic growth.

Knute Rockne (1888 - 1931) was Head Coach at the University of Notre Dame. As Jim Crowley, one of the legendary "Four Horsemen," declared years after, "He has remained America's All American these many years, wielding by the very mention of his name and his achievement a good influence which has shaped the lives of a long parade of All Americans." THE FOUR WINNERS is "the Rock's" only novel. It embodies his philosophy of the role of sports and moral values in building character.

BY WHAT AUTHORITY? is Robert Hugh Benson's (1871-1914) first published historical novel. In it he portrays the story of the English Reformation in Elizabethan times from the Catholic point of view. This he achieved without the use of the stereotypes that characterized virtually all such productions in his day to the detriment of both sides of the question.

THE KING'S ACHIEVEMENT is an epic story set during the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII. It is Robert Hugh Benson's second in a series intended to relate the story of the English Reformation in fictional form from the Catholic point of view. Benson's sister Margaret thought it "beautifully written, a pleasure to read."

The King's Achievement

THE QUEEN'S TRAGEDY is Robert Hugh Benson's third in a series of novels designed to tell the story of the English Reformation from the Catholic point of view. Benson handles a difficult subject with skill and compassion, succeeding in breaking through centuries of prejudgment and propaganda about Mary Tudor, one of the least popular of England's rulers.

Lord of the World is a bitingly satiric science fiction novel of a secularized world state. As Rosa Mulholland, Lady Gilbert, declared, "It is a brilliant, beautiful, and terrible book," a judgment in which the public has fully concurred for nearly a century. Lord of the World is the only one of Benson's novels to remain continually in print from its first publication in 1907 down to the present day. Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914) enjoyed a career that lasted little over a decade. In addition to a great many non-fiction works, he authored a series of twenty novels and short story collections that combined a specific moral orientation with an astonishing popularity among the general public of the early twentieth century. As an Anglican and later a Catholic priest, Father Benson was in great demand as a speaker in both England and the United States. The most sensational English convert from the Anglican Communion to Catholicism since John Henry Newman, Benson was a son of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He wrote from a Catholic perspective, but with real understanding and sympathy for the Protestant position.

The Light Invisible presents a series of interconnected supernatural short stories by the celebrated and prolific English author Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914), a member of the famed Benson literary clan.  The author's brother Arthur remarked of this volume, "The Light Invisible always seemed to me a beautiful book .... It was the first book in which he spread his wings, and there is, I think, a fresh and ingenuous beauty about it, as of a delighted adventure among new faculties and powers."

THE SENTIMENTALISTS represents Robert Hugh Benson's first foray into "non-genre" fiction, as well as a significant and sensational switch from the historical novels by which he had achieved widespread popularity. This novel also marks Benson's change to an increasingly universal outlook, as well as to a more pointed form of satire, a quality that endeared him to Evelyn Waugh.
