How one of the greatest economic expansions in history sowed the seeds of its own collapse. In the 1990’s, yes, jobs were created, technology prospered, inflation fell, and poverty was reduced. But at the same time the foundation was laid for the economic problems we face today. This groundbreaking work by the Nobel Prize-winning economist argues that much of what we understood about the 90s’ prosperity is wrong, that the theories that have been used to guide world leaders and anchor key business decisions were fundamentally outdated.

From 1983 through 1992, almost 1,400 banks failed; more than twice the number that had failed in the previous 50 years. Holland examines the underlying structural causes of banking’s decade of turmoil and details the often misguided, often ineffectual efforts of legislators, regulators, and the industry to deal with the problems.

The hectic cultural and political upheavals occurring in the 1960s marked a divide between the relatively stable cultural environment of the previous decade and what is now regarded as the golden age of pop music and youth culture. The flourishing of alternative cultures in the latter part of the decade laid many of the foundations of later trends and subcultures. And this influence if nowhere more apparent than in record packaging, with classic graphic design and layouts reappearing again and again. ’Classic Album Covers of the 60s’ is a collection of over 200 of the very best (an

The committee also reviews strategies to protect blood supplies and to improve the quality of surveys used in AIDS research. "AIDS: The Second Decade" updates trends in AIDS cases and HIV infection among the homosexual community, intravenous drug users, women, minori
