    Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Freaky Theories Don't , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 421min
    As the blockbuster best-seller Freakonomics demonstrated, economics can explain everything - from why people behave the way they do to how governments and businesses organize themselves. But are the basic assumptions and conclusions in Freakonomics true? Does the free market usually lead to unintended and negative consequences? Quite the opposite, says John Lott, who holds a Ph.D. in economics. In fact, says Lott, a wide range of fascinating and peculiar case studies prove the simple adage that if something is more costly, people will do less of it. And, in a refutation of Freakonomics' most controversial idea, Lott shows why legalized abortion leads to family breakdown, which leads to more crime. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    I'm often asked why I still do criminal defense. My response is because the stories are the best. Richard Stanley has proven adage to be true ten times over. This is a fascinating story told in masterful fashion that is riveting and entertaining. (Mark Geragos, American Criminal Defense Attorney) “It takes a lot of balls and/or stupidity to rob a bank. But it takes real grit to make it through prison and come out the other side with a better outlook on life and without a face tattoo. Richard Stanley is by far one of the most fascinating people I've ever interviewed. You'll love this book!” (Adam Carolla, Comedian, The Adam Carolla Show, The Man Show, Loveline) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Mike Dawson.

    Unwilling Warrior: A Novelette from World War II: Adventures of a Baby Boomer, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
    Patton's fast moving troops caused more trouble than just for the enemy. This novelette is about a young man just about to graduate from college, but is drafted into the United States Army and sent to the European theater and goes on a mission that gets caught up in the Fog of War. Part 2 is a true story about a murder trial that I was involved in and how it ended up having two juries, which was very strange. Part 3 is another true story about Sanctuary Cities and how I witnessed the first government-sanctioned city way back in 1977.

    Code v. Code: The Street Code Versus the Legal Code: Rethinking Your Business Transactions: An Empowerment Guide for Athletes, Entertainers and Entrepreneurs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 271min
    Code v. Code: The Street Code Versus the Legal Code presents the long-standing battle between cultural practices and legal policies when it comes to commercial dealings in sports, entertainment, and small businesses. From the unknown up-and-comer to the well-known public figure, mishandlings in contracts, trademark, copyright, and right of publicity has landed many entertainers, athletes, and entrepreneurs on the "I wish I would've known" conveyor belt. The adage "the players change, but the game remains the same" sums it up very well. If you are considering entering or currently are in any of these industries, educating yourself on the legal basics should not be an option. Attaining knowledge is potential power; doing something with the knowledge is power. This empowerment guide provides information to help you with the former and encourages you to do the latter. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ellakisha O'Kelley.
