瑞斯曼(George Reisman)的巨著《资本主义》(Capitalism，1998年出版)指出，政府诱导货币及信用扩张的情形，好几世纪之前便已存在。瑞斯曼在书中指出，好几个世纪以来，“政府……本着扩张银行信用……能够创造真正的资本财富，进而创造繁荣的理念行事……生意人因为想要获得低利率，也就是他们所谓的‘容易钱’，因此会敦促政府这么做；当政府这么做时，企业界便报以热烈的掌声，但这么做带来的后果并非繁荣，而是景气起伏循环。”
因应景气循环的激进措施，绝对令一般读者目瞪口呆，在专业的经济学家中也一样不受欢迎。瑞斯曼的主张是采取百分之百的金本位或银本位制，也就是说，中央银行发行的所有钞票及存单，都必须存放百分之百等值黄金或白银。瑞斯曼解释，通过政府完全不加以干预的自由金融政策，这项制度将可长可久。
是的，传统的经济学理论认为中央银行之所以成立，是因为没有加以管制的自由银行体系会导致不稳定；但这样的银行体系从来不被允许存在过。
这里要理解的问题是，为什么真正自由的银行体系可以行得通？瑞斯曼的观察是，人为的信用扩张仍是合法且有可能的，但“它所有希望达到的目的都不会实现。”有关此看法以及其他相关的论点，主要是在《金钱与花钱》及《黄金 vs 通膨》两章里进行探讨，这两章几乎已经是正常情况下一本书的长度。
这本书被称为是经济学著作中的《战争与和平》，任何对经济学可能会遇到的问题，你都可以在这本书里找到答案。

A major work in the development of critical theory in the late twentieth century, Anti-Oedipus is an essential text for feminists, literary theorists, social scientists, philosophers, and others interested in the problems of contemporary Western culture.
In his preface, Michel Foucault calls Anti-Oedipus an introduction to non-fascist life, referring not just to political fascism but to the fascism within us--- the desire to be led. To address that problem, Deleuze and Guattari propose a political analysis of desire as it is expressed or repressed in Western culture. They find the seeds of society's sickness in contemporary psychoanalysis, especially in the powerful figure of Oedipus.

The most important book yet from the author of the international bestseller The Shock Doctrine, a brilliant explanation of why the climate crisis challenges us to abandon the core “free market” ideology of our time, restructure the global economy, and remake our political systems.
In short, either we embrace radical change ourselves or radical changes will be visited upon our physical world. The status quo is no longer an option.
In This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn’t just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It’s an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies. She exposes the ideological desperation of the climate-change deniers, the messianic delusions of the would-be geoengineers, and the tragic defeatism of too many mainstream green initiatives. And she demonstrates precisely why the market has not—and cannot—fix the climate crisis but will instead make things worse, with ever more extreme and ecologically damaging extraction methods, accompanied by rampant disaster capitalism.
Klein argues that the changes to our relationship with nature and one another that are required to respond to the climate crisis humanely should not be viewed as grim penance, but rather as a kind of gift—a catalyst to transform broken economic and cultural priorities and to heal long-festering historical wounds. And she documents the inspiring movements that have already begun this process: communities that are not just refusing to be sites of further fossil fuel extraction but are building the next, regeneration-based economies right now.
Can we pull off these changes in time? Nothing is certain. Nothing except that climate change changes everything. And for a very brief time, the nature of that change is still up to us.

First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be read as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today. What The Power Elite informed readers of in 1956 was how much the organization of power in America had changed during their lifetimes, and Alan Wolfe's astute afterword to this new edition brings us up to date, illustrating how much more has changed since then. Wolfe sorts out what is helpful in Mills book and which of his predictions have not come to bear, laying out the radical changes in American capitalism, from intense global competition and the collapse of communism to rapid technological transformations and ever changing consumer tastes. The Power Elite has stimulated generations of readers to think about the kind of society they have and the kind of society they might want, and deserves to be read by every new generation.
