Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An economic policy blueprint/prescription to support small businesses for the next global economic crisis.'We were in absolute crisis, and we were risking a major, major meltdown of financial conditions, economic conditions and health conditions simultaneously.'-Steven Mnuchin, Secretary of the US Treasury, September 2020'We packed months of legislative process into five days.'-US Senator Charles Schumer, March 2020'Be fast, have no regrets. You must be the first mover.The virus will always get you if you don't move quickly.'-Dr. Michael Ryan, World Health Organization/epidemiologist, March 2020____________________________________________In early 2020, the American economy was roaring. Unemployment was historically low, and small business optimism was on the rise. And then the coronavirus changed everything. Lockdowns, massive unemployment claims, and small business closures spread throughout the country. Those who could do so worked from their homes, virtually educating their children and trying to maintain some sense of normalcy for their families. All they could do was watch the news as the media reported that millions of Americans were infected with the virus, and that many would ultimately lose their lives to complications associated with the disease.Along Main Streets across the country, the dreams of countless entrepreneurs faced permanent ruin; their hopes hung in the balance in the halls of Congress and within the walls of the Oval Office. The CARES Act was passed and signed into law in March 2020, with a price tag of over $2 trillion. Small businesses and their workers relied on various programs, including the now famed Paycheck Protection Program, which ultimately sought to inject $800 billion into the US economy. This is the story of that time, and what the world learned about the resilience of the entrepreneur.In Plandemic, former US Small Business Administration Acting Administrator and White House Senior Policy Advisor Chris Pilkerton contends that when the next pandemic hits, policymakers must be prepared with a focused action plan to support the economic engine of the United States of America: small business.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The compelling inside story of how America abandoned Afghanistan.When America retreated from Kabul amid chaos in 2021, Lieutenant General Sami Sadat, the last commander of the army of the Afghan republic, was still fighting to the end. In this firsthand account, he reveals how his troops were starved of ammunition for two years before the final pullout, while America was glad-handing the Taliban. Although Sadat spent his early career fighting alongside the CIA to track down al-Qaeda in the mountains of the Hindu Kush, it was in conventional combat-leading from the front-that he made his name. In The Last Commander, he contends that Afghanistan could have won the war if support had continued. President Biden may have ended America's longest war, but the story does not end there. Now Sadat's birth country is plunged into barbarism, where women are beaten for showing their face and his former comrades are hunted down and killed. But Sadat is planning to fight back. It will not be easy, but this riveting personal account of combat shows that if anyone can do it, he can.Sadat's story was told in the Emmy Award-winning documentary Retrograde. Now he tells it for himself.…
