    Bring on the Crash!: A 3-Step Practical Survival Guide: Prepare for Economic Collapse and Come Out Wealthier , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 344min
    The U.S. dollar wobbles on the brink of catastrophe. For the first time in history, the debt of the most powerful government on Earth, leading the world’s largest economy, has been downgraded by Standard & Poor’s to Double AA from a perfect Triple AAA. The political grandstanding of the Republicans and Democrats over the debt ceiling made many Americans and others around the world doubt our leadership. And many feel the final deal doesn’t go far enough to reduce US government spending. US government debt now exceeds the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The 2007-2009 financial crisis appears to have been the first step toward a deflationary depression that could destroy the savings of three generations of Americans. We’ve technically been “recovering” since March 2009, but despite all government and Fed actions to stimulate the US economy, unemployment stubbornly remains over 9%. That is, unless the government’s massive cash creation unleashes a wave of hyperinflation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Larry Robert Jones.

    Outside the Box, Hörbuch, Digital, 50min, (USK 18)
    Revving with verve and theatrics, Renée Santos gives you a little bit of everything: funny voices, wordplay, musical comedy, rapturous storytelling. In her debut album, Outside the Box, Renée Santos is a multidimensional, multi-talented, capital-e Entertainer. She endears through natural showmanship, genuineness, and artistic integrity - swearing like a sailor and pulling no punches. She endures personal tragedy, like family drama, pregnancy, and sobriety, through a liberal, lesbian lens, with nuance, passion, intelligence, and forthright humor. The comedian has lived a full life and isn’t afraid to relay it in bold, proud, salty, vibrant, meticulous detail. Renée Santos is playful to the punch, sarcastic to the swerve, funny to the core, and impactful to the soul.In 2018, after decades of fighting against cultural attitudes, repressive political policies, and violence, on the shoulders of trailblazing comedy legends, LGBTQ+ performers are having a moment, a moment Renée takes, a moment Renée makes her own. Renée Santos is on the vanguard of emergent new voices speaking truth to power by being true to life. Her down-to-earth stories and upbeat energy are equally accessible and defiant. Her comedy is powerful, not from fiery, overt, socio-political grandstanding, but because she doesn’t have to. Renée Santos’ power comes from purely being her talented, goofy, sharp, and charming self. Outside the Box is a revolution, revelation, a nice gust of fresh air. Language: English. Narrator: Renee Santos. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/pf/roar/000696/pf_roar_000696_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    The Gilded Rage: A Wild Ride Through Donald Trump's America , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 267min
    Selected as one of Publishers Weekly's Top Ten picks for Politics & Current Events of Fall 2016 2016 continues to be the most surreal and unpredictable election year in recent memory and this is due in large part to one Donald J. Trump and the millions of Americans who made him this year's Republican nominee for president. As Trump continues to succeed despite behavior that would cripple any other politician, whether it is questioning the patriotism of the Gold Star Khan family or banishing a baby from one of his press conferences, it is imperative to understand why so many continue to support him. And this is what makes The Gilded Rage so important; it provides insight into the forgotten Americans that continue to befuddle pundits and "experts" on CNN and Fox News alike. This grippingly intimate and heartbreaking book provides a portrait of the walking wounded who make up the base of the Trump movement. Desperate and angry, these are the Americans of the vanishing industrial heartland, depressed Appalachian coal country, and the no-man's land along the Southwestern border. These are coal miners, out-of-work construction workers, and small business owners who have watched their fortunes dwindle with each passing year. They have no illusions about the grandstanding billionaire and his glaring flaws. But these men and women feel forgotten and screwed over by political, corporate and media elites...and they feel that Donald Trump, despite his flamboyant demagoguery, might well be their last chance for salvation. Reminiscent of Studs Terkel's Working, with a dash of Hunter S. Thompson, Alexander Zaitchik in this important book takes us deeper into the ravaged soul of America than any other chronicler of our times. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Todd McLaren.

    The Battle of the Little Bighorn: The History and Controversy of Custer's Last Stand , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 99min
    Since the Battle of the Little Bighorn, George Armstrong Custer has possessed one of the most unique places in American history. Although he was a capable cavalry officer who served honorably during the Civil War, he remains one of the most instantly identifiable and famous military men in American history due to the fact he was killed during one of the country's most well-known and ignominious defeats: the Battle of Little Bighorn. At the same time, this one relatively insignificant battle during America's Indian Wars has become one of the country's most mythologized events and continues to fascinate Americans nearly 140 years later. On the morning of June 25, Custer's scouts discovered a Native American village about 15 miles away, in the valley of the Little Bighorn River. Choosing to disregard his superiors' orders to wait for a concerted effort, the grandstanding Custer intended to deliver his own decisive victory by dividing his command into three units - an extremely bold tactic when done in the face of a much larger force. Due to their belief in the inferiority of the Plains Indians, and mindful of previous Indian tactics that sought to avoid pitched battle, Custer and his men were most concerned with forcing the action and failed to understand the true nature of the situation they had entered. The Native American gathering, centered around the famous Sioux chief Sitting Bull, numbered roughly 8,000 individuals, and about 2,000 of them were warriors. Custer's forces amounted to a mere 31 officers, 566 troopers, and 50 scouts and civilians, and they had been split into three columns in order to stop a possible retreat. ungekürzt.
