Slouching Towards Utopia: An Economic History of the Twentieth Century
by J. Bradford DeLongAn instant New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller from one of the world&’s leading economists, offering a grand narrative of the century that made us richer than ever, but left us unsatisfied &“A magisterial history.&”—Paul Krugman Named a Best Book of 2022 by Financial Times * Economist * Fast Company Before 1870, humanity lived in dire poverty, with a slow crawl of invention offset by a growing population. Then came a great shift: invention sprinted forward, doubling our technological capabilities each generation and utterly transforming the economy again and again. Our ancestors would have presumed we would have used such powers to build utopia. But it was not so. When 1870–2010 ended, the world instead saw global warming; economic depression, uncertainty, and inequality; and broad rejection of the status quo. Economist Brad DeLong&’s Slouching Towards Utopia tells the story of how this unprecedented explosion of material wealth occurred, how it transformed the globe, and why it failed to deliver us to utopia. Of remarkable breadth and ambition, it reveals the last century to have been less a march of progress than a slouch in the right direction.

Slumber
by Tamara BlakeA young girl is drawn into a decadent and deadly paranormal world in a modern-day fairy tale steeped in danger and suspense. When Ruby volunteers to take her mother’s housecleaning shift at the gothic Cottingley Heights mansion, she thinks it’s going to be business as usual. Clean out the fridge, scrub toilets, nothing too unusual. But nothing could prepare her for the wanton squalor she finds within: rich people with more money than sense trashing their beautiful clothes and home just because they can. After the handsome Tam discovers her cleaning up after him and his friends, Ruby has never felt more like a character from her sister’s book of fairy tales. Tam sees beyond Ruby’s job and ratty clothes, and sweeps her off her feet, treating her like a real princess, but Ruby is sure this beautiful boy is too good to be true. And as one tragedy after another befalls Ruby and her family, she painfully learns that magic is all too real—and it always comes with a price. “The fairy characters are faintly reminiscent of the group of vampires in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight books . . . Teen girls who are reluctant readers and enjoy watching shows such as True Blood will pick up this title.” —School Library Journal
