Statue of limitations / by Collins, Kate,1951-;
After her divorce, Athena has returned to coastal Michigan to work in her family's garden center and raise her son, while also caring for a mischievous wild raccoon and fending off her family's annoying talent for nagging. Working alone at the garden center one night, Athena is startled by a handsome stranger who claims to be the rightful owner of a valuable statue her grandfather purchased at a recent estate sale. But she has even bigger problems on her plate. The powerful Talbot family from whom her pappoús bought the statue is threatening to raze the shops on Greene Street's "Little Greece" to make way for a condo. The recent death of the family's patriarch already seemed suspicious, but now it's clear that a murderer is in their midst. Athena will have to live up to her warrior goddess namesake to protect her family from a killer and save their community from ruin.

Finding the Money. by Poitras, Maren,film director.; Giant Pictures (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by Giant Pictures in 2023.We all use money, and yet the questions of what is money, and where does money come from remain elusive.FINDING THE MONEY follows Stephanie Kelton on a journey through the controversial Modern Money Theory or “MMT.” Kelton provocatively asserts the National Debt Clock that ticks ominously upwards in New York City is not actually a debt for us taxpayers at all, nor a burden for our grandchildren to pay back. Instead, Kelton describes the national debt as simply a historical record of the number of dollars created by the US federal government currently being held in pockets, as assets, by the rest of us.MMT bursts into the mainstream media, with journalists asking, “Have we been thinking about how the government spends money, all wrong?”But top economists and politicians from across the political spectrum condemn the theory as “voodoo economics”, “crazy” and “a crackpot theory.”FINDING THE MONEY traces the conflict all the way back to the story we tell about money, injecting new hope and empowering democracies around the world to tackle the biggest challenges of the 21st century: from climate change to inequality.Mode of access: World Wide Web.
