Chesterton G: Utopia of Usurers

Utopia of Usurers

And Other Essays

Against Landlords overturns the stale assumptions and YIMBY delusions as to why housing in the UK is so poor, and why rent is so high. Bano lays the blame squarely at the feet of landlordism, which boosts house prices and makes tenancy unaffordable. Furthermore, building more housing is not the solution. It is firstly a problem of the law, and legal reforms must sweep away the rot at the heart of the housing crisis and British political life.

The controversial case for why building more housing will not solve the housing problem

How to Solve the Housing Crisis

Against Landlords

"Say Yes to the Dress meets Rosemary's Baby" (Margie Sarsfield) in this fresh, darkly funny horror novel in which a woman finally agrees to marry the man of her mother’s dreams. . . only to discover that wedding planning will eat you alive.&nbsp; If Ophelia Cohen learned one thing from her parents, it’s that getting married is a bad idea.&nbsp;But if she’s learning anything from her widowed mother’s dementia, it’s that dying alone is worse. So when she meets Luke—the man of her mother’s dreams—marriage suddenly doesn’t seem so crazy. But none of Ophelia’s obsessive scrolling on wedding forums can prepare her for the nightmare of planning her own. Why is her mother-in-law going crazy over every detail? Why is Luke’s family so eager to host the wedding in their vineyard’s ancient chapel? And what exactly will Ophelia have to sacrifice if she and her mother both hope to survive her special day? Shot through with wicked humor, pitch-black horror, and unexpected romance,&nbsp;Until Death&nbsp;is a deliciously dark and funny send-up of the wedding industrial complex—and a mother-daughter story unlike any you’ve read before. "Recognizes the Gothic horror inherent to planning a wedding and creates from it a painfully incisive and genuinely haunting fever dream.” —Kay Chronister, author of The Bog Wife&nbsp; “Completely unique, deeply unnerving, and deviously funny.” —Samantha Allen, author of Patricia Wants to Cuddle “Grabbed me like a creeping vine and wouldn't let go." —Kerry Cullen, author of House of Beth “Glistens with humor and horror. An electrifying and affecting debut.” —Samantha Hunt, author of The Seas

One can't help but be moved by this story of upheaval and transformation' SADIQ KHANAn extraordinary family memoir from acclaimed newsreader and journalist, Mishal Husain, uncovering the story of her grandparents' lives amidst empire, political upheaval and partition.¿'I witnessed the dwindling glow of the British Empire. I saw small men entrusted with great jobs, playing with the destiny of millions'¿The lives of Mishal Husain's grandparents changed forever in 1947, as the new nation states of India and Pakistan were born.

Broken Threads

A transformative guide to experiencing the fullness of God's promises through the power of minimalism, from the bestselling author of The More of Less and The Minimalist Home Rooted in the teachings of Jesus, Uncluttered Faith argues that true spiritual fulfilment and abundant life are found not in accumulation but in simplicity and generosity. Weaving together personal stories, biblical teachings and practical advice, Becker shows how worldly treasures can hinder your relationship with God and your potential in His Kingdom. He shares his journey towards minimalism, a path he began nearly two decades ago that has since revealed numerous spiritual promises, emphasising that Jesus's teaching to give away possessions is not about deprivation, but rather the formula to experience purpose, passion, fulfilment and meaning, in this life. Uncluttered Faith is more than a guide for your personal growth; it casts a bold vision for the Church to collectively embrace minimalism and reach its full potential, ultimately leading to a life that is not only personally fulfilling but also impactful for eternity.

A revelatory history of how the Federal Reserve finances American power. Central banks, we are told, are economic superpowers that must remain independent of modern democratic governments. The US Federal Reserve's presumed insulation from politics affords it autonomy and credibility to control inflation and promote economic stability--or so the story goes. In The Fiscal Fed, Will Bateman offers a deeply sourced, empirical history that shows the Fed's primary function is actually, and has always been, fiscal--sustaining the market for Treasury borrowing that makes up the difference between federal spending and federal revenue. Bateman combs Fed meeting transcripts, staff notes, financial accounts, and legal documents to trace loans and public-debt purchases since the central bank's founding. The result is a milestone work that reveals how, for most of the Fed's history, its transactions were aimed at government financing--either by providing cheap credit to close budget gaps or by manipulating yields on government debt. The Fed's support for government finance is a feature, not a bug, of American economic institutions.

A Journal

A Prayer a Day

A vivid history of how Protestantism was spread across the globe, from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century &nbsp; "Mr. Ryrie has produced the rare book that deserves attention from both believers and skeptics."-D.G. Hart, Wall Street Journal &nbsp; Protestantism revolutionised early modern Europe. Radical theologians transformed the lives of thousands across the continent, irrevocably changing politics and society. But what about beyond Europe's borders? Was global Christianity just a Catholic endeavour? &nbsp; Alec Ryrie explores the untold history of how Protestants tried to spread their religion abroad, from Lapland to Chile and Barbados to Taiwan. At the story's heart are the non-Christian people whom Protestants met more often than any others during this period: those they had enslaved in the Americas, Africa, and eastern Asia. We see how Protestants dealt with, or evaded, the moral failure of the slave trade, and how their missionary efforts were disappointments at best, utter fiascos at worst. &nbsp; Their world Reformation, its failures, and its consequences for both good and ill, has largely been forgotten. This fascinating history makes the case for why it is worth remembering.

"A COMPELLING HISTORY OF A POWERFUL IDEA" - Jacob Goldstein, author of MoneyFrom veteran Financial Times journalist Robin Wigglesworth, an epic history of the debt that built the modern world.Long considered the "boring" corner of finance, bonds are anything but. They are bigger than the stock market and rival even the global banking system in influence. But they are also misunderstood - treated as mere debt, when in fact their impact is radically different.From medieval Venice to modern Wall Street, Robin Wigglesworth uncovers the sweeping, unveiling story of the bond market. With clarity and wit, this is a people's history of finance: rich in drama, full of colourful characters, and bursting with insights.Bonds have funded everything from the Crusades to climate tech, Netflix series to AI data centres. Pooling capital from citizens and merchants at an unmatched scale, they have been the hidden force behind some of humanity's highest achievements and greatest calamities. This isn't just a book about the past. It's a guide to the future of finance, and a love letter to the engine that keeps it running.
