James Grant’s story of America’s last governmentally untreated depression: A bible for conservative economists, this “carefully researched history…makes difficult economic concepts easy to understand, and it deftly mixes major events with interesting vignettes” (<i>The Wall Street Journal</i>). In 1920-1921, Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding met a deep economic slump by seeming to ignore it, implementing policies that most twenty-first century economists would call backward. Confronted with plunging prices, wages, and employment, the government balanced the budget and, through the Federal Reserve, raised interest rates. No “stimulus” was administered, and a powerful, job-filled recovery was under way by late 1921. Yet by 1929, the economy spiraled downward as the Hoover administration adopted the policies that Wilson and Harding had declined to put in place. In <i>The Forgotten Depression</i>, James Grant “makes a strong case against federal intervention during economic downturns” (<i>Pittsburgh Tribune Review</i>), arguing that the well-intended White House-led campaign to prop up industrial wages helped turn a bad recession into America’s worst depression. He offers examples like this, and many others, as important strategies we can learn from the earlier depression and apply today and to the future. This is a powerful response to the prevailing notion of how to fight recession, and “Mr. Grant’s history lesson is one that all lawmakers could take to heart” (<i>Washington Times</i>).
Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg war der Schotte Sir John Hepburn wohl der fähigste Anführer auf schwedischer Seite. Er war ein typischer Mann der Tat und einer der berühmtesten Soldaten, den die Welt je gesehen hat. Vom Führer eines kleinen Fähnleins von Pikenieren in der Leibgarde des Winterkönigs bei der Schlacht am Weißen Berg entwickelte er sich erst zum Führer der berühmten Grünen Brigade, dann zum Marschall von Frankreich und militärischen Berater Richelieus. Hepburn gilt als erster Kommandant der damals in französischen Diensten stehenden Eliteeinheit 'Royal Scots'. In seiner Begabung für die Befehlsführung vereinte er schnelle Entscheidungen mit verwegenem Mut. Ansehnlich im Aussehen und ehrwürdig in seiner Haltung überstrahlte er seine Kameraden in der Pracht seiner Rüstung - der einzige Makel, den der schlichte schwedische König Gustav Adolf an ihm fand. Sir John Hepburn war immer bei seinen Soldaten an vorderster Front, genoss deren Vertrauen und aufrichtige Zuneigung. Er starb wie er gelebt hatte: Bei der Belagerung Zaberns 1636 setzte in einer Mauerbresche eine Musketenkugel seinem jungen Dasein ein Ende. Die vorliegende illustrierte und kommentierte Übersetzung der Biografie 'Memoires and Adventures of Sir John Hepburn' von James Grant (1851) ist Teil der Reihe 'Zeitzeugen des 30-jährigen Krieges'.
