Story
Inspired by How an Economy Grows and Why It Doesn't - a previously published book by the Schiffs' father Irwin, a widely published economist and activist - How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes incorporates the spirit of the original while tackling the latest economic issues. With wit and humor, the Schiffs explain the roots of economic growth, the uses of capital, the destructive nature of consumer credit, the source of inflation, the importance of trade, savings, and risk, and many other topical principles of economics.

In this extraordinary work, Beth Macy takes us into the epicenter of a national drama that has unfolded over two decades. From the labs and marketing departments of big pharma to local doctor's offices; wealthy suburbs to distressed small communities in Central Appalachia; from distant cities to once-idyllic farm towns; the spread of opioid addiction follows a tortuous trajectory that illustrates how this crisis has persisted for so long and become so firmly entrenched.

Story
In the nearly two years since Anthony Bourdain's death, no one else has come close to filling the void he left. His passion for and genuine curiosity about the people and cultures he visited made the world feel smaller and more connected. Despite his affable, confident, and trademark snarky TV persona, the real Tony was intensely private, deeply conflicted about his fame, and an enigma even to those close to him. Tony’s devoted crew knew him best, and no one else had a front-row seat for as long as his director and producer, Tom Vitale.

No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

August 1939: London is dismal under the weight of impending war with Germany as Hitler’s forces continue to sweep across Europe. Into this uncertain maelstrom steps Grace Bennett, young and ready for a fresh start in the bustling city streets she’s always dreamed of - and miles away from her troubled past in the countryside. With aspirations of working at a department store, Grace never imagined she’d wind up employed at Primrose Hill, an offbeat bookshop nestled in the heart of the city - after all, she’s never been much of a reader.

The Myth of Capitalism tells the story of how America has gone from an open, competitive marketplace to an economy where a few very powerful companies dominate key industries that affect our daily lives. Digital monopolies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon are gatekeepers to the digital world. Amazon is capturing almost all online shopping dollars. We have the illusion of choice, but for most critical decisions, we have only one or two companies when it comes to high speed internet, health insurance, medical care, mortgage title insurance, or even consumer goods like toothpaste.

Nineteen-year-old Greg Sestero met Tommy Wiseau at an acting school in San Francisco. Wiseau's scenes were rivetingly wrong, yet Sestero, hypnotized by such uninhibited acting, thought, "I have to do a scene with this guy." That impulse changed both of their lives. The Disaster Artist is Greg Sestero's laugh-out-loud funny account of how Tommy Wiseau defied every law of artistry, business, and friendship to make "the Citizen Kane of bad movies" ( Entertainment Weekly), which is now an international phenomenon.

Can't say no to fattening foods, carbs, or alcohol? You may be one of the millions of people who are sugar sensitive. Many people who suffer from sugar sensitivity don't even know it - and they continue to consume large quantities of sweets, breads, pasta, or alcohol. These foods can trigger exhaustion or low self-esteem, yet their biochemical impact makes those who are sugar sensitive crave them even more. Dr. Kathleen DesMaisons came up with the solution and published it in her revolutionary book, Potatoes Not Prozac.

Publisher's Summary
Russell Brand takes a deep, earnest, yet witty dive into the meaning of life, death, and the sacred space in between in this compelling Audible Original.
An Aussie woman living alone in a forest, at one with nature and technology. A former addict celebrating an anniversary in recovery with friends - all ex-addicts - at a humble community center in LA. A man, no stranger to personal tragedy, training others to swim in arctic waters. The mortality of a close friend, a beloved pet cat, and - ultimately - ourselves. Russell Brand finds the sacred in all these people, locations, and experiences and advocates for discovering and embracing the sacred that is in all that surrounds us. Not an easy task in a world filled with the distractingly profane and our culture’s high value of emptier qualities, like celebrity and wealth, often at the expense of kindness and connection. Unsparing of himself, and with insights that are sure to resonate with any listener, Revelation sets a context for our need for the sacred - especially now, given current societal fragmentation and the dearth of mitigating social and political ideas. This Audible Original will truly change your perspective and, in the process, your life.

Instant Classic.
I've come to the Russell party a little later than most. Was unaware of all he has been doing for quite some time. But I am glad to have found his books. I purchased all 5 hardcovers, and then the audible as soon as it was released. His writing is real, and elegant to say the least. This audible...takes his writings to new levels. It's actually the first audio book I've ever purchased, and can say I'm happy i did.
Honestly Russell, never stop. Your message has come across the world. I'm in.
sincerely,
Rye
Oh btw I'm in Canada.

Hyper Hyperbolic starts here...
THIS BOOK has changed my life!!!!! Recently I downloaded and listened to Mr Brands insightful musings around acceptance and evolution of self. Since then (24 whole hrs!!!) I have undergone a sincere and in-depth self examination, purged my soul and my psyche and re-evaluated my life goals going forward. Russell’s gentle and yet forceful guidance has upended my view of the world and my place in it - I find myself driven to make changes, to inspire good, to climb mountains, save elephants, to BE THE BEST ME I CAN BE!!!! ... Russell Brand is a font of wisdom who reads with the compassionate tones of a new age Buddha....and I am drinking in his sparkling nuggets of enlightenment and pansophy - you should too!!
*** reality break: This IS a thought provoking listen, Russell is a great narrator who captures your interest and holds it throughout the book. His insight is relevant and timely (especially given the opportunity for introspection that COVID has provided) ... this is a book to listen to multiple times..I will mull over the contents and shape it to my life and then go back and listen again - Russell never disappoints and I always feel like I have grown after listening to his work (emotionally not in height!!)

Very much enjoyed with lots of love and laughter
I almost didn’t choose this book because of some of the negative reviews I read. Within the first few chapters, I was satisfied for my C$15. If you are a playful, creative, loving person, you’ll have no problem enjoying this one! I would listen again just to enjoy those laughs I had. Pairing that with the caring for what’s happening in the world and each other’s life journeys, are the best most real stories I ever crave.

A beautiful book with impeccable timing.
I really love listening to Russell Brand - even though he uses big ass English words that require me to pair a dictionary with every encounter with him.
This book can not come at a better time, during this global pandemic where most of us are finding ourselves at mental crossroad. What is sacredness and how important is it to this human existence?
Wonderfully insightful and highly recommended.

Russell Brand has a one-of-a-kind ability to express his ideas in an intimate, hyper-intelligent, intuitive and inspiring way.
Powerful, playful and poetic, I laughed and cried and felt feelings and thought thoughts I have never felt or thought before.
Thank you Russell. I am biologically, chemically and atomically different since listening to your “audible original” :)

Just what I needed
I was very much spiraling in self-pitty and was quite gloomy when this book fell in my lap. I didn't know what I was looking for when I opened my Audible app, just anything that could shake me free from the apathy. I saw Russell Brand on the cover and figured I'd give it a go. I've always loved his work, so why not? It was exactly what I needed. It was like he was speaking right to me. Like he and I were on the phone having a good chat. It was familiar, engaging, upbeat and witty. His charm is in how he doesn't take himself too seriously, but isn't wasting my time trying to sell me anything (except his book 😉)
He genuinely just wants me to benefit from what he's discovered in his search for meaning. He is generous with sharing not only his his wisdom but also his humanity.
And I found this all on the very morning it was released. By accident. I thought it was strange that there weren't any reviews yet. It didn't occur to me that it was literally hot off the press.
Well Russell, you've done it again

I laughed, I cried.
Fresh from listening, I am finding it hard to find adequate words to describe this book. It is more feelings than thoughts. I have all of Russell’s audio offerings, as I delight in his spoken delivery of his thoughts. His authenticity and self-reflections are refreshing. His asides and witticisms cause explosive guffaws making it dangerous to drink beverages while listening. His use of the English language is marvelous. This is an audiobook that I will listen to more than once, which I rarely do. What a gift.

This century’s C.S. Lewis, only less prude
I’ve read Mere Christianity about 20 times and this feels like a similar soul, discovering similar truths about life, and how it cannot be lived without faith. Faith is essential. C.S. Lewis came to faith after being an atheist. He was a brilliant thinker. Additionally, both authors examine snd explain why faith need not be looked upon like some childish notion but, in fact, it can withstand intense scrutiny and study and not only survive and allow a fuller understanding of what it means to live fully but faith can be validated through a thorough examination. Thank you for this book! It would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall if only you and C.S. Lewis could sit down together and discuss life.

Meandering
Perhaps there is a coherence buried in this “audio”, festooned with aspirational vocabulary, as one sentence uninterrupted by punctuation, smears into another. Thought into thought, quotation into adage. A stream of hyper-consciousness, profound wisdom borrowed from another’s jaw, distilled into an infinitely repeatable, but self-effacing commentary on the commoditization of an addict’s journey to recovery....
You get the picture!
Glad it appears to be helping some people, but to me it listens like pseudo- intellectualism, and a self-indulgent and distracting use of flowery language.

if open, beyond discovery isinevitable
I'm only 2 chapters into this book and I know that What I have experienced in my life up to this point has just been validated To some point where I knew something needed to be done about how this world was being run but I never had all the points in dots to make sense of the picture or the experience to connect all of that and through this book Russell has accomplished that in a way that will allow us to see the truth And really start moving towards a real real solution that is the truth. I don't know if I will ever get to meet you or cross paths with you Russell, thank you, really with all that I am, thank you for writing this book. i appreciate you. #watia

I didn't like it too much. A lot of literary fluff
It was like he was bored and just thought of some interesting sounding words. Well written and performed, but no substance.

Re-listening already- WONDERFUL audiobook!!!
I've enjoyed every single one of Russell Brand's previous books, from early memoirs full of insight and humor to his profound work on Recovery and Mentorship. And while I love reading the books, there's always been a special quality to the audiobooks, an energy that comes through in his reading that is profound and important.
While most of my listening on Audible is at double speed, to consume the content as quickly as possible, this is a wholly different experience. Not only full of great content that you can immediately apply to your life, but a depth of feeling, humor, and an overall joy to listen to.
I've texted it to several people already urging them to listen and I urge you to do the same!

Thank you Russell for all the thoughtful work you put out and encouragement for others to put out into the world that is all of us! Cheers to a great awakening of the Good in the World.
