When the bubble bursts : surviving the Canadian real estate crash / by MacBeth, Hilliard,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Starting in 2008, investors upset by the stock market collapse started to see real estate as a "safe haven" investment.

He argues that Canada is in the midst of a real estate bubble, and there will soon be a crash in house prices. What can Canadians do to prepare financially for retirement and take advantage of the "once in a lifetime" buying opportunity that will follow the bubble bursting? All these answers can be found in this newly updated edition of When the Bubble Bursts."--

Cuba on the verge : 12 writers on continuity and change in Havana and across the country / by Guerriero, Leila,1967-editor.;
As the US and Cuba move toward the normalization of diplomatic relations after an epic fifty-six-year standoff, we find ourselves face-to-face with one of the few places in the world that has been off limits to most Americans. Standing on both sides of the divide, twelve of our most celebrated writers investigate this period of momentous transition in Cuba on the Verge. These essays span the spectrum, from Carlos Manuel Álvarez's story of being among the last generation of Cubans to be raised under Fidel Castro to Patricia Engel's look at how Cuba's capital has changed through her years of riding across it with her taxi driver friend; from The New Yorker's Jon Lee Anderson (who traveled with President Obama on the first trip to Cuba by an American president since the twenties) on being a foreigner in Cuba during the Special Period to Francisco Goldman on the Tropicana, then and now, to Leonardo Padura on the religion that is Cuban baseball.

Great society : a new history / by Shlaes, Amity,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index." In the 1960s, Americans sought the same goals many seek now: an end to poverty, higher standards of living for the middle class, a better environment and more access to health care and education. Then, too, we debated socialism and capitalism, public sector reform versus private sector advancement. Time and again, whether under John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, or Richard Nixon, the country chose the public sector. Yet the targets of our idealism proved elusive. What's more, Johnson's and Nixon's programs shackled millions of families in permanent government dependence. Ironically, Shlaes argues, the costs of entitlement commitments made a half century ago preclude the very reforms that Americans will need in coming decades."--
