Post-Bubble Blues: How Japan Responded to Asset Price Collapse
What caused Asia’s largest economy, once the envy of the world, to lag behind many of the other industrial countries? And why did it take so long for Japan to recover from the bursting of its asset price bubble of the late1980s? In this volume, a team from the International Monetary Fund examines the causes of the lingering economic problems of Japan, the crisis in its banking system, the reasons for weak business investment, and the government’s efforts to kick-start the economy through a series of stimulus packages. This book presents a compelling story about Japan’s economy. Its message—that banking reform and corporate restructuring are central to any sustained revival of the economy—is backed up through detailed background research. This research provided the analytical framework for the IMF’s policy advice during a period of rapid change—a period during which macroeconomic policymaking moved into uncharted territory. The research papers were prepared by members of the Japan team in the IMF during 1998 and the first half of 1999..

Auschwitz and the Allies: A Devastating Account of How the Allies Responded to the News of Hitler's Mass Murder (An Owl Book)
When Hitler announced that the result of the war in Europe would be "the complete annihilation of the Jews," he did so in 1942, not only in public, but before an enormous crowd in Berlin. The Allies heard, but astonishingly, they did not listen. Why? In 1944, Allied reconnaissance pilots, searching out industrial targets in the area, repeatedly photographed Auschwitz. The pictures, apparently overlooked by the Allies, were routinely filed in government archives and not examined until 1979. Why? First-hand reports on the horrors of the death camps came to the West by 1944 in the person of two escaped Auschwitz prisoners. Their testimonies, and those of subsequent escapees, were either ignored or dismissed. Why? Despite the fact that, the same year, Churchill himself had ordered feasibility studies for air strikes on Auschwitz, the RAF not only did nothing, but eventually passed the buck to the Americans, who also did nothing. Why? .

This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A483993. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: At almost every level - local, state, and federal - policymakers have undertaken tremendous efforts to curb the growing global and domestic drug trade that profoundly affects the United States. Constituents and government leaders alike agree that drugs pose a serious threat to a well-ordered society. In response to the perceived effects of illicit drugs, mandatory prison sentences have been lengthened for drug-related offenses, and General Barry McCafftey, former head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, embarked upon an aggressive $1 billion nation-wide advertising campaign during his tenure aimed at curtailing drug use among America's youth. Yet, the topic of illicit drugs in America is not as simple as good versus evil, staunch prohibitionists opposed to drug peddlers and legalization advocates..
