The for-adults collection of humorous comics by the award-winning children's book author--whom Maurice Sendak called a marvelous cartoonist --in a newly designed edition.

In this graphic novel, Aqualantics maintain a fragile peace with their "surface brothers"?as long as their world remains a myth. But when an actor who plays the character of the "indefensible Earthman," all cynicism and vulgarity, is gradually possessed by his role, a chain react...ion jeopardizes the entire kingdom and the uneasy peace between the two species. Giorgio Carpinteri's sheer graphic brilliance ? fusing aspects of Futurism, Cubism, Russian Constructivism, and German Expressionism with echoes of Bauhaus and distinct whims of Art Deco ? would be enough to carry this brilliant fantasy, but Aqualantic is also a lyrical, allegorical masterpiece exploring the relationship between the conscious and unconscious, the known and the unknown.

A Financial Times Best Economics Book of the Year A ProMarket Best Political Economy Book of the Year ?A timely and very useful guide?Boushey assimilates a great deal of recent economic research and argues that it amounts to a paradigm shift.? ?New Yorker ?In this outstanding boo...k, Heather Boushey?shows that, beyond a point, inequality damages the economy by limiting the quantity and quality of human capital and skills, blocking access to opportunity, underfunding public services, facilitating predatory rent-seeking, weakening aggregate demand, and increasing reliance on unsustainable credit.? ?Martin Wolf, Financial Times ?The strongest documentation I have seen for the many ways in which inequality is harmful to economic growth.? ?Jason Furman, former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers ?Think rising levels of inequality are just an inevitable outcome of our market-driven economy? Then you should read Boushey's well-argued, well-documented explanation of why you're wrong.? ?David Rotman, MIT Technology Review Do we have to choose between equality and prosperity?

Many think tackling inequality would require such heavy-handed interference that it would stifle economic growth. But a careful look at the data suggests nothing could be further from the truth?and that reducing inequality is in fact key to delivering future prosperity. Presenting cutting-edge economics with verve, Heather Boushey shows how rising inequality is a drain on talent, ideas, and innovation, leading to a concentration of capital and a damaging under-investment in schools, infrastructure, and other public goods. We know inequality is fueling social unrest. Boushey shows persuasively that it is also a serious drag on growth.
