130 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A Kentucky schoolteacher's century-old land deed. A 1944 hotel conference in New Hampshire. One argument connecting them both.The Broad Form Deed traces how Appalachian coal companies used elastic, one-time contracts to extract a mountain's wealth while leaving its communities the poorest in America - and argues the U.S. dollar's reserve-currency status works the same way, at the scale of the entire economy. Absentee owners profit. Local costs go uncompensated. And correction, when it finally comes, takes decades and something close to a revolt.Robert F. Geissler builds the case chapter by chapter, then devotes a full chapter to the strongest arguments against it - before asking what it would take to renegotiate a deed nobody remembers signing.
