![]() ![]() På min neste reise skal jeg imidlertid sende minst ett postkort – til meg selv. Det gjør ver-den mindre og inspirasjonen til å reise større – i tillegg til at man sparer pengene til porto. I dag er vi alle reiseskribenter, og det er kjempefint. Det er tross alt ganske mye kjappere å knipse et bilde av sine egne solbrune tær foran svømmebassenget og poste det på Instagram.ĭenne utgaven av 360 er en hyllest til alle som skriver om reisene sine, enten det er i romaner, reisereportasjer, kokebøker, på postkort eller i sosiale medier. Når sendte dU sist noen et postkort? når var forrige gang du gikk inn i en suvenirbutikk påįeriestedet ditt, valgte ut et motiv fra hylla, fant fram pennen og skrev noen velvalgte ord på det lille pappkortet, før du gikk på postkontoret, kjøpte frimerke og puttet det i nærmeste postkasse? For min del begynner det å bli en stund siden. ![]()

![]() She is about to have an operation to fix a club foot, the reason her mother called her “Nobbut a monster.” After surgery, she’ll be able to walk, to run, and - perhaps most importantly - ride a horse astride rather than sidesaddle, but the “corrected” foot will never match the other one. ![]() "The War I Finally Won" picks up shortly after the end of the earlier middle-grade novel, with 11-year-old Ada in the hospital.

A plea from her estranged twin sends her secretly back to Faerie, where things immediately come to a boil with Cardan (king, nemesis, love interest) and all the many political strands Jude has tugged on for the past two volumes.

The jump from history of money to insurance. Ferguson is jumping back and forth without reaching convincing conclusions in each part. George Soros get criticized, as a representative of Hedge Funds, but that is it. There is no "too big to fail", no critique of the big banks, no critique of how banks control American politics through donations. Allende is presented as a bad economist, a simple Marxist, nothing about US involvement in the coup. Maybe he should not have worked for Pinochet, but in the long run it was good, Ferguson concludes. ![]() Ferguson gives much time to one economist, Milton Friedman, but without much critique. You get the impression that all economic inventions (Smith, Law, Mattesson etc.) come from Scotland, which is at least somewhat of an exaggeration (Ferguson's home country) 2.
