Back to Work - President Bill Clinton - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Back to Work - President Bill Clinton - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

In Back to Work , Bill Clinton offers a plan to get America out of its economic crisis and "back into the future business." Clinton details how to lay a foundation for long-term prosperity, offering specific recommendations on how to boost employment rates, increase bank lending and corporate investment, and double exports. He emphasises that antigovernment sentiments in the public rarely contribute to a prosperous growth. Conflict between the government and the private sector has given the U.S. a weak economy, growing income inequality, and a decline in its competitive position. Cooperation, he stresses, is more conducive to success than conflict. To Clinton, America “at its core is an idea – the idea that no matter who you are or where you''re from, if you work hard and play by the rules, you''ll have the freedom and opportunity to pursue your own dreams.” Back to Work is an effort to rejuvenate the idea that is America.

The Torrents Of Spring - Ernest Hemingway - Bog - Cornerstone - Plusbog.dk

Subtitled ''A Romantic Novel in Honour of the Passing of a Great Race'', The Torrents of Spring - Hemingway''s second published work - wonderfully parodies the themes and styles of the ''great race'' of writers of his generation.Spring is coming to the small towns of Michigan, but the snow still covers the land when Scripps O''Neil sets of for Chicago, decides to stop a while in Petoskey, and meets up with Yogi Johnson. Their bizarre stories are a brilliant satire on conventional fiction. The characters they meet are absurd and yet strangely familiar. Short, fast-paced, funny, The Torrents of Spring throws light on Hemingway''s later work - and is a delight to read. Here we can see the developing talent of one of the great novelists of the twentieth century.
