It's no wonder they've been a staple in Central American diets since the Aztecs, and are once again growing in popularity. Chia is truly a superfood, both nutritious and versatile. Both the seeds and sprouts are edible, but there's so much more to chia than that!

Systems of highly elastic and constantly expanding money are not only unnecessary, even for growing economies, they are always extremely destabilizing.

Financial Markets, Banking, and Monetary Policy Thomas D. Simpson 9781118872239, 1118872231 Pub Date: 7/28/14 $95.00/$105.00 Can. 480 pages Hardback Business & Economics / Finance


Summary: The current financial model has focused on money as a unique asset that is produced exclusively by commercial banks, and regulated by central banks to achieve their macroeconomic goals. However, as financial systems have evolved in the United States and elsewhere around the globe, what constitutes money has become blurred and such monetary aggregates have become highly unreliable and discarded guides to policy. As a result, central banks have had to turn to a very different approach for achieving macroeconomic goals. This approach instead focuses on influencing the prices of a broad spectrum of financial assets, and thereby the spending behavior of businesses and consumers.

The Choudhry Anthology, + Website : Past, Present and Future Principles of Bank Risk Management Moorad Choudhry 9781118779736, 1118779738 Pub Date: 8/25/14 $90.00/$108.00 Can. 600 pages Hardback Business & Economics / Insurance / Risk Assessment & Management

Summary: One of the key lessons of the 2007-2008 financial market crash was that “traditional” principles of risk management in banking needed to be re-learnt, and maintained even during a bull market so that banks did not suffer as they did in the crash. These traditional principles were conservative beliefs about capital, funding and operating model guidelines that had served banks well since the city-state banks of the 16th century, but had been ignored by many small and large banks in the run-up to 2007.

In the post-crash era, banks, regulators and investors have to “re-learn” these traditional principles so that they can apply them in their daily disciplines.
