Compilation of Selected Railroad,

Compilation of Selected Railroad, Pipeline, and Hazardous Materials Transportation Laws Vol 1

Railroad Regulation

Sales Track: HC and ebook over 5,000 copies less than a year after publication.
First trade book to synthesize the topic across a range of fields: Other works on privatization are academic or issue-specific.
Media Savvy author:&nbsp;In promotion of the hardcover, Donald Cohen was interviewed by dozens of outlets and podcasts, including Ralph Nader’s and Marianne Williamson’s, The Bulwark, Pitchfork Economics, NC Policy Watch; University of Wisconsin In Solidarity podcast; Dissent’s Belabored podcast; NEA News; Capital and Main; Public Seminar; Publishers Weekly and the Hewlett Foundation. He published op-eds in Marketwatch; Truthout; Grist, Washington Post’s Answer Sheet and the Miami Herald and Fresno Bee. Excerpts of the book were included in Jacobin; Lit Hub; Public Seminar; and In These Times. It was reviewed by Publishers Weekly, Kirkus Reviews, Washington Monthly, The Real News Network, Labor Notes, The New Republic, and The American Prospect. C-Span Book aired his Q and A with Miami-Dade County Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava.
Platform:&nbsp;In The Public Interest’s weekly email newsletter list has 8,500 subscribers, and works extensively with large national and state unions, grassroots organizations, policy makers and advocacy networks, including the AFL-CIO, SEIU, NEA, ACLU, Southern Poverty Law Center, Food and Water Watch, Community Change, Center for Popular Democracy, and Economic Policy Institute. These groups, and others, will help amplify news of the book.

NOW IN PAPERBACK&nbsp; The book the American Prospect calls “an essential resource for future reformers on how not to govern,” by America’s leading defender of the public interest and a bestselling historian
“An essential read for those who want to fight the assault on public goods and the commons.” —Naomi Klein
A sweeping exposé of the ways in which private interests strip public goods of their power and diminish democracy, the hardcover edition of The Privatization of Everything elicited a wide spectrum of praise: Kirkus Reviews hailed it as “a strong, economics-based argument for restoring the boundaries between public goods and private gains,” Literary Hub featured the book on a Best Nonfiction list, calling it “a far-reaching, comprehensible, and necessary book,” and Publishers Weekly dubbed it a “persuasive takedown of the idea that the private sector knows best.”
From Diane Ravitch (“an important new book about the dangers of privatization”) to Heather McGhee (“a well-researched call to action”), the rave reviews mirror the expansive nature of the book itself, covering the impact of privatization on every aspect of our lives, from water and trash collection to the justice system and the military. Cohen and Mikaelian also demonstrate how citizens can—and are—wresting back what is ours: A Montana city took back its water infrastructure after finding that they could do it better and cheaper. Colorado towns fought back well-funded campaigns to preserve telecom monopolies and hamstring public broadband. A motivated lawyer fought all the way to the Supreme Court after the state of Georgia erected privatized paywalls around its legal code.
“Enlightening and sobering” (Rosanne Cash), The Privatization of Everything connects the dots across a wide range of issues and offers what Cash calls “a progressive voice with a firm eye on justice [that] can carefully parse out complex issues for those of us who take pride in citizenship.”

How the Plunder of Public Goods Transformed America and How We Can Fight Back

NATIONAL BESTSELLER The definitive full-scale portrait of J. Pierpont Morgan's tumultuous life, both in and out of the public eye History has remembered him as a complex and contradictory figure, part robber baron and part patron saint. J. Pierpont Morgan earned his reputation as "the Napoleon of Wall Street" by reorganizing the nation's railroads and creating industrial giants such as General Electric and U.S. Steel. At a time when the country had no Federal Reserve system, he appointed himself a one-man central bank. He had two wives, three yachts, four children, six houses, mistresses, and one of the finest art collections in America. In this extraordinary book, drawing extensively on new material, award-winning biographer Jean Strouse vividly portrays the financial colossus, the avid patron of the arts, and the entirely human character behind all the myths. Praise for Morgan "Magnificent . . . the fullest and most revealing look at this remarkable, complex man that we are likely to get."-The Wall Street Journal "A masterpiece . . . No one else has told the tale of Pierpont Morgan in the detail, depth, and understanding of Jean Strouse."-Robert Heilbroner, Los Angeles Times Book Review "It is hard to imagine a biographer coming any closer to perfection."-St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Strouse is in full command of Pierpont Morgan's personal life, his financial operations, his collecting, and his benefactions, and presents a rich, vivid picture of the background against which they took place. . . . A magnificent biography."-The New York Review of Books "With uncommon intelligence, maturity, and psychological insight, Morgan: American Financier is that rare masterpiece biography that enables us to penetrate the soul of a complex human being."-The Philadelphia Inquirer

Anhand einer wissenschaftlichen Abhandlung von Erik Hornung (2015) wird eine Interpretation verschiedener Modellansätze zur Lösung der vorliegenden Endogenitätsproblematik aufgezeigt. Resultierend ergibt sich ein kausaler Effekt auf das jährliche Wachstum von 1 – 2 %.Verstärkt eingegangen wird auf die Mobilität von Produktionsfaktoren – insbesondere Arbeit.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Through a series of historical analyses, Friedman explores the relationship between the legal system and the development of modern science and technology. The scientific revolution produced major changes in culture; and these in turn led to changes in government and law. The book covers, among other topics, the transportation revolution; the camera and the entertainment industry; the “germ theory” and its influence on modern society; and the role of culture and technology in the sexual revolution.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

“Splendid. . . . haunting and beautifully written.” &nbsp;—&nbsp;Washington PostThe #1 New York Times bestselling Gilded Age chronicle of the rise and fall of a legendary American dynasty, from CNN anchor and journalist Anderson Cooper and historian and novelist Katherine Howe.One of the Washington Post's Notable Works of NonfictionWhen eleven-year-old Cornelius Vanderbilt began to work on his father’s small boat ferrying supplies in New York Harbor at the beginning of the nineteenth century, no one could have imagined that one day he would, through ruthlessness, cunning, and a pathological desire for money, build two empires—one in shipping and another in railroads—that would make him the richest man in America. His staggering fortune was fought over by his heirs after his death in 1877, sowing familial discord that would never fully heal. Though his son Billy doubled the money left by “the Commodore,” subsequent generations competed to find new and ever more extraordinary ways of spending it. By 2018, when the last Vanderbilt was forced out of The Breakers—the seventy-room summer estate in Newport, Rhode Island, that Cornelius’s grandson and namesake had built—the family would have been unrecognizable to the tycoon who started it all.Now, the Commodore’s great-great-great-grandson Anderson Cooper, joins with historian Katherine Howe to explore the riveting family saga of his legendary family and their outsized influence. Cooper and Howe breathe life into the ancestors who built the family’s empire, basked in the Commodore’s wealth, hosted lavish galas, and became synonymous with unfettered American capitalism and high society. Moving from the hardscrabble wharves of old Manhattan to the lavish drawing rooms of Gilded Age Fifth Avenue, from the ornate summer palaces of Newport to the courts of Europe, and all the way to modern-day New York, Cooper and Howe wryly recount the triumphs and tragedies of an American dynasty unlike any other.Written with a unique insider’s viewpoint, this compelling biography is a rollicking, quintessentially American history as remarkable as the family it so vividly captures.This riveting look at an American dynasty reveals:<ul><li>An American Dynasty's Rise and Fall: Follow Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt's ruthless journey from a small boat operator to the richest man in America, and witness how his heirs spent the staggering fortune into oblivion.</li><li>Old Money vs. New Money: From the hardscrabble wharves of Manhattan to lavish Fifth Avenue drawing rooms and Newport summer palaces, explore the world of America's original new-money arrivistes.</li><li>A Unique Insider's Viewpoint: Co-authored by Anderson Cooper, the Commodore's great-great-great-grandson, who brings a personal perspective to the triumphs and tragedies of his legendary family.</li><li>Iconic New York History: Discover the story behind legendary landmarks like The Breakers and Grand Central Terminal, and the outsized influence the Vanderbilts had on New York City and the nation.</li></ul>
