Story of silver. How the white metal shaped america and the modern world

University Press Gro. Hardcover. Pp: 352. This is the story of silver's transformation from soft money during the nineteenth century to hard asset today, and how manipulations of the white metal by American president Franklin D. Roosevelt during the 1930s and by the richest man in the world, Texas oil baron Nelson Bunker Hunt, during the 1970s altered the course of American and world history. FDR pumped up the price of silver to help jump start the U.S. economy during the Great Depression, but this move weakened China, which was then on the silver standard, and facilitated Japan's rise to power before World War II. Bunker Hunt went on a silver-buying spree during the 1970s to protect himself against inflation and triggered a financial crisis that left him bankrupt. Silver has been the preferred shelter against government defaults, political instability, and inflation for most people in the world because it is cheaper than gold. The white metal has been the place to hide when conventional investments sour, but it has also seduced sophisticated investors throughout the ages like a siren. This book explains how powerful figures, up to and including Warren Buffett, have come under silver's thrall, and how its history guides economic and political decisions in the twenty-first century.

Ze krijgt ook te maken met achterbakse neven en nichten, hongerige pers, een knappe bodyguard en duizenden jaren aan tradities die ze als een gek moet leren.  Izzy zit al snel gevangen tussen twee werelden en twee versies van zichzelf.

Tokyo Ueno Station

Tilted Axis Press, 2019. Paperback. Pp: 168. As a work of post-tsunami literature and a protest against the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, this novel is of utmost importance to this moment, a powerful rebuke to the Imperial system and a sensitive, deeply felt depiction of the lives of Japan's most vulnerable people. Kazu is dead. Born in Fukushima in 1933, the same year as the Emperor, his life is tied by a series of coincidences to the Imperial family and has been shaped at every turn by modern Japanese history. But his life story is also marked by bad luck, and now, in death, he is unable to rest easily, haunting the park near Ueno Station. It is here that Kazu s life in Tokyo began and ended, having arrived there to work as a labourer in the run up to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics before ending his days living in the vast homeless villages in the park, traumatised by the destruction of the 2011 tsunami and enraged by the announcement of the 2020 Olympics.

Noda Tetsuya 野田哲也

Diary: Sept 3rd '99, in Seoul A.P.

Noda Tetsuya 野田哲也 (b. 1940). Diary: Sept 3rd '99, in Seoul a.p. Signed in pencil in the bottom margin with thumbprint. Color silkscreen and woodblock print depicting a pair of women's shoes next to a table with books, fruit, and a cup and saucer. Noda, a student of Tadashige Ono �野 忠�, combined photography and printmaking to create an award-winning technique that has become his signature. His work chronicles the personal and the everyday, as with this print, from his "Diary" series. This "artist's proof," like many of Noda's prints, has a wonderful pale coloration, an opacity of surface through which one glimpses a special world of the everyday as found art. A lady's shoes, a coffee cup, an English language Korean newspaper, fruit. A morning in Seoul, it seems. Bot whose shoes are those? An interesting work of a modern Master. .
