"Delivering juicy details with unrelenting speed and force" (Jonathan Allen), Swamp Monsters is the wild inside story of how Donald Trump made a star of Ron DeSantis and then set out to destroy him-a struggle for supremacy that has turned Florida into the crucible of the new GOP and of America’s future-by "one of the keenest and best-sourced observers of Florida’s political maelstrom" (Rick Wilson). Ron DeSantis was struggling through Florida’s political wilderness when, in late 2017, Donald Trump extended his hand. Ambitious but charmless, DeSantis was a relatively obscure figure even within his own state’s Republican party, and an unlikely pick for the GOP’s gubernatorial nomination. But when Trump took to Twitter and praised him as "a brilliant young leader" and "a true FIGHTER," everything changed-for DeSantis, for Florida, and for the country.

Cogs and Monsters What Economics Is, and What It Should Be


Free Download Cogs and Monsters: What Economics Is, and What It Should Be by Diane Coyle, Gina Rogers, Ascent Audio
B09HL4LJKQ | 2021 | ISBN: B09HL4LJKQ | Format: MP3 / Bitrate: 64 Kbps / 7 hours and 12 minutes | 198 Mb
Digital technology, big data, big tech, machine learning, and AI are revolutionizing both the tools of economics and the phenomena it seeks to measure, understand, and shape. In Cogs and Monsters, Diane Coyle explores the enormous problems – but also opportunities – facing economics today if it is to respond effectively to these dizzying changes and help policymakers solve the world’s crises.
Mainstream economics, Coyle says, still assumes people are "cogs" – self-interested, calculating, independent agents interacting in defined contexts. But the digital economy is much more characterized by "monsters" – untethered, snowballing, and socially influenced unknowns. What is worse, by treating people as cogs, economics is creating its own monsters, leaving itself without the tools to understand the new problems it faces. In response, Coyle asks whether economic individualism is still valid in the digital economy, whether we need to measure growth and progress in new ways, and whether economics can ever be objective, since it influences what it analyzes.
Filled with original insights, Cogs and Monsters offers a road map for how economics can adapt to the rewiring of society, including by digital technologies, and realize its potential to play a hugely positive role in the 21st century.
