In codependent relationships, deceitful games are played, and important Christian principles are often taken out of context and abused.

How important is luck in economic success? No question more reliably divides conservatives from liberals. As conservatives correctly observe, people who amass great fortunes are almost always talented and hardworking. But liberals are also correct to note that countless others have those same qualities yet never earn much. In recent years, social scientists have discovered that chance plays a much larger role in important life outcomes than most people imagine.

The rich have always been different from you and me, but this revealing and funny journey through Richistan entertainingly shows that they are more different than ever. Richistanis have 400-foot-yachts, 30,000-square-foot homes, house staffs of more than 100, and their own "arborists". They're also different from Old Money, and have torn down blue-blood institutions to build their own shining empire.

Who was the greater economist--Adam Smith or Charles Darwin? The question seems absurd. Darwin, after all, was a naturalist, not an economist. But Robert Frank, New York Times economics columnist and best-selling author of The Economic Naturalist, predicts that within the next century Darwin will unseat Smith as the intellectual founder of economics.

Society embraces regulations that limit physical harm to others, as when smoking restrictions are defended as protecting bystanders from secondhand smoke. But we have been slower to endorse parallel steps that discourage harmful social environments, as when regulators fail to note that the far greater harm caused when someone becomes a smoker is to make others more likely to smoke. In Under the Influence, Robert Frank attributes this regulatory asymmetry to the laudable belief that individuals should accept responsibility for their own behavior.

The rich are not only getting richer, they are becoming more dangerous. Starting in the early 1980s the top one percent broke away from the rest of us to become the most unstable force in the economy. An elite that had once been the flat line on the American income charts - models of financial propriety - suddenly set off on a wild ride of economic binges. Not only do they control more than a third of the country's wealth, their increasing vulnerability to the booms and busts of the stock market wreak havoc on our consumer economy, financial markets, communities, and government finances.

After too many long and bloody years working the mean streets of Los Angeles as narcotics cops, Detectives Bat Poe and Fran Gomez have decided to retire and move on to the quiet life. They’ve bought a couple of nice little suburban homes in Boulder City, Nevada and have gotten retirement gigs in the insurance industry. Theoretically, their daily commute to the office should be the most excitement they’ll ever face again. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t always give people what they want.

When it comes to good guys and bad guys, they don’t make ‘em like they used to. It’s 1974 Los Angeles, and two cops who never catch a break can feel a change coming. With a little luck and a lot of disregard for procedure, they’re not going to let anything stand in the way of finally getting ahead. Follow them for 67 hours, and gain a vision of how police work used to be done, back when the line between the good guys and the bad guys really meant something.

Detective Bat Poe has been a cop for a long time, and it would appear that there is nothing he can’t handle. But when he is rendered unfit for duty by a bump on the head during a routine drug bust, that illusion dissolves. Effectively put out to pasture, Bat finds himself at the tail end of his career spending his days on what he considers a useless endeavor: training a police dog. Just when it looks as if he’ll never be good for anything again, he teams up with another dishonored cop, and together they embark on what might be Bat’s greatest adventure.

A detective’s job is to learn the truth - but in 1983 Los Angeles, narcotics detectives Bat Poe and Fran Gomez are having a hard time even figuring out what’s real, much less true. After having one of their suspects disappear in a mysterious jailbreak, they find themselves cast into a world of espionage, and international intrigue that is a long way from an LA cop’s job description. Come along as they wager their careers, and lives, on the streets of the City of Angels, and the runways of LAX.

There comes a time in some investigations where a cop should do the smart thing and cut his losses. The problem Detectives Bat Poe and Fran Gomez have is that they’re many miles beyond that point, and never noticed when it passed. They’re stuck chasing a gang of drug dealers they’ve been after for years and have finally pushed things to the point where failure might cost them their careers and lives. Join them on the bad guys’ trail in the summer of 1978, as what should have been a routine case devolves into a study in vendetta and survival.
