Andrew Mellon, one of the most accomplished businessmen of his era, is almost unknown today. To this shy, diffident (but brilliant) man fell the daunting task of collecting the war debts from European governments still devastated by WWI and struggling to recover economically. Dealing with the US Congress and the heads of foreign governments on the world stage became one of the great adventures of his life. Mellon vs. Churchill presents Winston Churchill through a different lens, focusing on his service as Chancellor of the Exchequer when Great Britain was the largest debtor to the US.

Empire in Denial: The Slow Collapse of American Capitalism is a searing, unsparing account of how the United States traded real prosperity for a delusion—and how that delusion is now collapsing in plain sight. For decades, Americans were told a story: work hard, play by the rules, and the rewards would follow. But since the 1970s, wages have stagnated while costs exploded. Debt replaced income. Consumption masked inequality. Institutions—once the foundation of civic trust—were sold off, hollowed out, or captured by corporate interests. The result is an economy that functions perfectly...
