In America's Jubilee distinguished historian Andrew Burstein presents an engrossing narrative that takes us back to a pivotal year in American history, 1826, when the reins of democracy were being passed from the last Revolutionary War heroes to a new generation of leaders. Through brilliant sketches of selected individuals and events, Burstein creates an evocative portrait of the hopes and fears of Americans fifty years after the Revolution. We follow an aged Marquis de Lafayette on his triumphant tour of the country; and learn of the nearly simultaneous deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the 4th of July. We meet the ornery President John Quincy Adams, the controversial Secretary of State Henry Clay, and the notorious hot-tempered General Andrew Jackson. We also see the year through the eyes of a minister's wife, a romantic novelist, and even an intrepid wheel of cheese. Insightful and lively, America's Jubilee captures an unforgettable time in the republic’s history, when a generation embraced the legacy of its predecessors and sought to enlarge its role in America’s story.

David Knox Barker's Jubilee on Wall Street accurately predicted the events that have led to our current global financial and economic crisis-the deflationary debt collapse, crashing stock markets, the international banking disaster, political trends, and the crisis of capitalism. With his latest edition, Jubilee on Wall Street: An Optimistic Look at the Global Financial Crash, Barker provides an examination of economic and financial history and proves that the long wave theory, and its inherent seasons, is the most accurate forecaster we have-the roots of which date as far back as the insightful laws of Leviticus and the Year of Jubilee. Barker shows how we have the opportunity to create a better future for all, not based on global socialism or the creation of a redistributive world empire where the middle class bears all the burdens, but The Great Republic from which can rise a new form of genuine and lasting international free-market capitalism.
