From the legendary former Fed Chairman and the acclaimed Economist writer and historian, the full, epic story of America's evolution from a small patchwork of threadbare colonies to the most powerful engine of wealth and innovation the world has ever seen. Shortlisted for the 2018 Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award From even the start of his fabled career, Alan Greenspan was duly famous for his deep understanding of even the most arcane corners of the American economy, and his restless curiosity to know even more. To the extent possible, he has made a science of understanding how the US economy works almost as a living organism--how it grows and changes, surges and stalls. He has made a particular study of the question of productivity growth, at the heart of which is the riddle of innovation. Where does innovation come from, and how does it spread through a society? And why do some eras see the fruits of innovation spread more democratically, and others, including our own, see the opposite? In Capitalism in America, Greenspan distills a lifetime of grappling with these questions into a thrilling and profound master reckoning with the decisive drivers of the US economy over the course of its history. In partnership with the celebrated Economist journalist and historian Adrian Wooldridge, he unfolds a tale involving vast landscapes, titanic figures, triumphant breakthroughs, enlightenment ideals as well as terrible moral failings. Every crucial debate is here--from the role of slavery in the antebellum Southern economy to the real impact of FDR's New Deal to America's violent mood swings in its openness to global trade and its impact. But to read Capitalism in America is above all to be stirred deeply by the extraordinary productive energies unleashed by millions of ordinary Americans that have driven this country to unprecedented heights of power and prosperity. At heart, the authors argue, America's genius has been its unique tolerance for the effects of creative destruction, the ceaseless churn of the old giving way to the new, driven by new people and new ideas. Often messy and painful, creative destruction has also lifted almost all Americans to standards of living unimaginable to even the wealthiest citizens of the world a few generations past. A sense of justice and human decency demands that those who bear the brunt of the pain of change be protected, but America has always accepted more pain for more gain, and its vaunted rise cannot otherwise be understood, or its challenges faced, without recognizing this legacy. For now, in our time, productivity growth has stalled again, stirring up the populist furies. There's no better moment to apply the lessons of history to the most pressing question we face, that of whether the United States will preserve its preeminence, or see its leadership pass to other, inevitably less democratic powers.Binding Type: Paperback

Powerful Little Book
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this book so much that I have the kindle version and the paperback. Sometimes its hard to pray or I don’t know how to pray but I can grab this book and chose the topic I need in that moment. If I am out an about then I pull it up on the kindle app on the phone or iPad. It can be used daily to start your day. Lady’s she even includes a decree/prayer for energy and to keep our hormones balanced!!! It’s the very first decree/prayer in the book. For the end of the day there are decrees on restful sleep and visions and dreams from God. You can start your day with this book and end your day with it. Anything that pops up during the day that overwhelms you then this book probably has the decree you need in that very moment.
I really enjoy that it is written in such a way that I am not praying alone but praying in agreement with others. Where two or more agree on anything it will be done (paraphrased Matt 18-19) I can almost hear Brenda praying these with me sometimes. There is something very comforting knowing that you are not praying these alone.
This book has also helped/encouraged me to start writing my own scripture base decrees.

I highly recommend this book. If you aren't sure how to pray a PRAYER for a specific area in your life or a loved ones life. This is the book for you.
Format: Kindle
I rated it 5 stars because thru my whole life there have been situations PRAYER was needed. I didn't know how to word them. I would just say GOD please help or save my family members, pets, friends, neighbors and myself. From death, hurts, harms and from the enemy. I glorify and thank GOD for this book of decrees. There might be about 100 decrees. Each section is the title, the decree Brenda and others prayed for and are anointed by GOD, scripture from bible, then word of encouragement that gives you examples or what to do. In the word of encouragement it tells you how to decree it for yourself. So it's 2 decrees at the same time. The one Brenda an others prayed for and the one you decree yourself in JESUS name. AMEN. Remember where more than one pray for the same thing, believe it and it's ours. I will continue to read a few each day. It fills my soul with cheer and joy. GOD bless you. GOD is good. He created this decree book thru his servant for me and others who might need guidance in how to pray and decree.
