About this ebook

This is the story of Bob Lifton who was born in Brooklyn in 1928 to a working class Jewish family and grew up to lead a fascinating life in business and politics that connected him to remarkable people from artists and scientists to kings. With his business partner, a World War II war hero, Liftons entrepreneurial spirit led him to a broad range of business endeavors, including an Oscar winning movie score, ownership of the U S mens National Soccer Team, being landlord to Donald Trump in Atlantic City and buying the Navy aircraft carrier he served on. Their company was the first to integrate a hotel in the South. As President of the American Jewish Congress, and Co-Chair of the Middle East Project of the Council on Foreign Relations, Lifton interacted with Prime Ministers of Israel and heads of Arab nations with a focus on resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. His story will introduce the reader to the famous and infamous, describing his conversations with Presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter, winning the gratitude of President George H.W. Bush, meetings with Nelson Mandela and Yasser Arafat and fending off overtures from Jimmy Hoffa.

The Global Economy Is Fracturing. What Comes Next?: The world economy has experienced many shocks over the past few years: A pandemic. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Skyrocketing inflation. These are the stories that have dominated headlines — and for good reason. But they’ve also overshadowed a set of deeper, more fundamental shifts — the rise of China as an economic superpower, the fracturing of trade relations, the realities of the climate crisis — that are transforming the global economic order and prompting ambitious policy responses from leaders across the world. Martin Wolf is the chief economics commentator at The Financial Times, a former senior economist at the World Bank and the author, most recently, of “The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism.

Best Of: How the Fed Is ‘Shaking the Entire System’: On Monday, First Republic Bank folded before being sold by regulators to JPMorgan Chase. It was the 14th-largest bank in the United States and was the second-largest American bank by assets to collapse. The story of First Republic’s fall is similar to that of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature before it: The value of the bank’s assets began to plummet as the Fed raised interest rates to fight inflation, causing a crisis of confidence among investors and depositors. This is exactly the kind of situation that the economic historian Adam Tooze warned of when he came on the show in October 2022. He argued that the Fed’s interest rate hikes were “shaking the entire system” — putting pressure on every level of the global financial system, from regional banks to countries that borrow on the U.S. dollar. It would be only a matter of time, he predicted, before things started breaking. Well, things are certainly breaking now, and it’s ver
