Description

Boomerang: Travels in the New Third WorldIcelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish. Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly, sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency: oh, those foolish


Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish.

Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly, sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency: oh, those foolish foreigners. But when he turns a merciless eye on California and Washington, DC, we see that the narrative is a trap baited with humor, and we understand the reckoning that awaits the greatest and greediest of debtor nations.

These work
Size: 2 pairs black L
My husband loves these they help his very dry feet. As others have stated they are extremely difficult to walk in so have to be careful but they do work nicely.

Potential Fall Risk
Size: 2 pairs black L
While these socks do indeed help soften rough skin on your feet, there is a risk of falling while wearing them. Although they have treads on the bottom, which would indicate they’re safe to wear with nothing else, when you put moisturizer on and then wear them your foot can slip inside the sock . This causes you to lose your balance and fall, which happened to me. I’ve thrown them out.

I could be a foot model now!!!
Size: 1 pair black L
I wear work boots almost all of the time so I bought these to put on my feet with salycylic acid to moisturize and try to get rid of a stubborn corn on the ball of my foot. It helped drastically after a few nights of lounging in the house with them on.

Favorite treat
Flavor Name: Duck & Veggies, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog loves these treats the best, and the spoiled pooch has tried many! I love that these are super small sized, not messy, and low calorie which allows for lots of reinforcement while training. I also appreciate that the ingredients are very clean.

Buy these only if you love your dog
Flavor Name: Duck & Veggies, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was looking for a dog treat that didn’t have sugar. And let me tell you these training treats are not only delicious to the dogs, but I love that the ingredients do not include any sweetener. I don’t think it’s a good idea to give our dogs tons of sugar, unless we’re brushing their teeth every day like we do for our own teeth. So for the longevity of my puppies teeth, she’s gonna get these high-quality yummy Yum‘s. I love that I can break them apart and make more treats out of the treats they gave so the bag last for months, even with daily training.
