{"product_id":"9781912224623","title":"The Street-wise Guide To Getting The Best From Your Lawyer","description":"Driven by insatiable greed, modern economic practices have developed in a manner so that while some executives and bankers walk away with millions of compensation, others are driven out of their homes to the street. At the same time, governments who had freely incurred massive debts in the past with an eye on the next election and a fond hope that economies would continue to grow forever are now staring at mountains of debt. Nations that seek solace in a money printing press are producing inflation that is snatching bread from the poor man's table, while the rich laugh all the way to the bank and luxury destinations as inequalities hit the roof. Many national economies teeter on the verge of collapse. The ensuing outrage has given rise to phenomenon such as the occupy movement.\u003cp\u003eWhile highlighting problems that have crept into modern economies, the author has also suggested solutions. The entire discourse is in an informal style, free of scholarly notes and referencing so that it may be appreciated by ordinary readers, not just academics and scholars. This brief introduction to the economics of greed and exploitation will be fascinating reading for any concerned citizen of the world. This small book is a philosophical critique of modern economic practices with solutions suggested to overcome some of the most glaring weaknesses of modern capitalism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GOING FOR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039611666672,"sku":"9781912224623","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781912224623_p0.jpg?v=1769896653","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781912224623","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
