Although they make an unlikely team, they soon find themselves drawn to each other. She begrudgingly allows him to stay, but on one condition: he must join the hunt with her. But when Wes arrives at Welty Manor, he finds only Margaret. He's been fired from every apprenticeship he's landed, and his last chance hinges on Master Welty taking him in. While Margaret is the best sharpshooter in town, only teams of two can register, and she needs an alchemist. Whoever is able to kill the hala will earn fame and riches, and unlock an ancient magical secret. When Margaret Welty spots the legendary hala, the last living mythical creature, she knows the Halfmoon Hunt will soon follow.

But why? In Butts: A Backstory, reporter, essayist, and RadioLab contributing editor Heather Radke is determined to find out. A woman's butt, in particular, is forever being assessed, criticized, and objectified, from anxious self-examinations trying on jeans in department store dressing rooms to enduring crass remarks while walking down a street or high school hallways. It is a body part unique to humans, critical to our evolution and survival, and yet it has come to signify so much more: sex, desire, comedy, shame.

On one hand, if inflation is the only check on spending that tells us its time to rein it in or impose new taxes, we should really know what level we consider acceptable and have safeguards to protect against the most disastrous outcome of hyperinflation. I'm open to these arguments and consider them well-intentioned but I didn't find that this book really substantiated many of its points. Increasing taxes to pay for such things are not even necessary, since taxes don't fund spending and the alleged dangers of money printing are vastly overblown. If true, these arguments would mean that the government can and should be spending much more on improving society and that concerns about large deficits are entirely misguided. Taxes do not fund spending, MMT theorists argue, but are more like a release valve to reduce the total money supply and thereby cool off inflation. Modern Monetarist Theory (MMT) of which Kelton is a proponent argues that demand for national currency is created by the initial act of money issuance and a subsequent requirement imposed on citizens to pay taxes in that currency. This book begins from the seemingly radical premise that as long as a government can issue its own money it need not be concerned with running deficits and can spend as much as it deems fit until inflation starts signalling the need to slow down.

Since he hit the scene, his secrets have been his and his alone to keep. His entire life he’s been surrounded by the press as they dig for tidbits to see if his fairytale life is for real or all mirrors and social media lies. The hottest entrepreneur Chicago has ever known, he’s a man’s man with too much money to spend and too many women vying for his attention.

But, before she tells the story of how this "gallant slave" came to be in this region of the world, she will provide an account of the people, the natives with whom the British live in "perfect peace," and will give a highly detailed description of this wondrous place (1). While she will not bore her readers with all the details concerning this amazing noble hero, she will nevertheless tell them everything about him that she, and her group of curious European friends, found fascinating about this prince before and after he arrived in Surinam ("in the West-Indies"). Whatever she did not personally observe, she maintains, was given to her as firsthand accounts by others who were there.
