For most people, the reasons for the sudden collapse of our economy still remain obscure. I.O.U. is the story of how we came to experience such a complete financial disaster, starting with the magical proliferation of credit that led to an explosion of lending on the global and local landscapes of banking and finance. Viewing the crisis through the lens of politics, culture, and contemporary history—from the invention and widespread misuse of financial instruments to the culpability of subprime mortgages—Lanchester deftly draws conclusions on the limitations of financial and governmental regulation, capitalism’s deepest flaw, and most important, on the plain and simple facts of human nature where cash is concerned. With newly updated, superbly written reportage, Lanchester delivers a shrewd perspective and a digestible, comprehensive analysis that connects the dots for expert and casual reader alike. Part economic primer, part fiscal and historical analysis, I.O.U. is an eye-opener of a book.

Hi, Hope you enjoy my horrid Whoops Apostrophe findings WHOOPS in the title for the humour; ! in the title as there are lots of other errors in here, shock! Apostrophe errors are my favourite horror, but I have snapped so many othersand have chaptered them, to file similar types of errors together. I suppose that you could say some spelling errors are more typesetting mistakesbut hey somebodys to blame in there, every time! Plenty more in my mobile phones memory, and every day I see and capture morefor posterity!? In shop windows, in cafes, in businesses, in pubs; on cars, vans, on the TVin Scotland, England, Ireland; in Amsterdam recently, and all over Europe (and Turkey!). Australia Thought long and hard about adding witty and / or informative captions under many of the images, especially as regards locations; but in the final analysis decided to let the visual nature of the humour speak for itself! And oh I know its our modern worlds fault really, really? Technology - texting, e-mails, Facebookleads to phonetic spellings and not bothering with Capital letters Mobile phones especially - Ive got to press at least 6 times to even get to an ! Apostrophes dont seem even to be taught anymore either, certainly not in any continuous form. Smile, and learn? MLP (March 13) (Read any of MLPs BOYLE-BREATH series of books yet?

Withdrawal of the mighty Hudson Bay Company from present-day Alberta and Saskatchewan created a lawless environment with new economic opportunities. A cross-border trading bond arose with growing steamboat mercantile center Fort Benton in Montana Territory. In 1870, Montana traders Johnny Healy and Al Hamilton moved across the Medicine Line and built Fort Whoop-Up. It established the two-hundred-mile Whoop-Up Trail from Fort Benton, through Blackfoot lands, to the Belly River near today's Lethbridge. Over the next decade, the buffalo robe trade flourished with the Blackfoot, as did violence. The turmoil forced the creation of Canada's North West Mounted Police, tasked with closing down the whiskey trade and evicting the Montana traders. Award-winning historian Ken Robison brings to life this dramatic story.
