An unconventionally accessible, story-driven look at the future of the global financial system

To predict our future, we must look to the extremes. So argues the economist Richard Davies, who takes readers to the margins of the modern economy and beyond in his globe-trotting book. From a prison in rural Louisiana where inmates purchase drugs with prepaid cash cards to the poorest major city on earth, where residents buy clean water in plastic bags, from the world’s first digital state to a prefecture in Japan whose population is the oldest in the world, how these extreme economies function—most often well outside any official oversight—offers a glimpse of the forces that underlie human resilience, drive societies to failure, and will come to shape our collective future.

While the people who inhabit these places have long been dismissed or ignored, Extreme Economies revives a foundational idea from medical science to turn the logic of modern economics on its head, arguing that the outlier economies are the place to learn about our own future. Whether following Punjabi migrants through the lawless Panamanian jungle or visiting a day-care for the elderly modeled after a casino, Davies brings a storyteller’s eye to places where the economy has been destroyed, distorted, and even turbocharged. In adapting to circumstances that would be unimaginable to most of us, the people he encounters along the way have helped to pioneer the economic infrastructure of the future.

At once personal and keenly analytical, Extreme Economies is an epic travelogue for the age of global turbulence, shedding light on today’s most pressing economic questions.

Too narrow at the toes, even for narrow feet
Size: 7, Color: Black Leather
Too narrow at the toe. I have narrow feet, but I could feel my toes being squished as soon as I stood up in these.. Bummer.

A chique set of sunglasses for any trendy woman
Color: Black/Dark Grey, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters, Color: Black/Dark Grey, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
I love these pair of sunglasses! I’ve never been really able to wear them before lasek. But it’s important to now and the glasses are a true 100% UV blocking. Packaging is really nice done and the green case complements the emerald piece in the glasses themselves. It came with a cleaning cloth which is nice to keep in your purse. The sunglasses have a dark tint. These pair frame my face nicely and I have a rounder face. It’s not uncomfortable on the nose bridge and the frame is quite durable. It’s lightweight and there’s no pressure on the ears. They are well made and are perfect to dress up an outfit. I prefer simple frames with a special touch and the green emerald piece take these up a notch . So excited for summer!

Wow! Quality glasses with a beautiful design.
Color: Black/Dark Grey, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
It seems like you're frequently given the option between fashion or quality in the sunglass marketplace. A lot of the fashion eyewear simply falls short on lens quality, durability, or comfort. These glasses have it all. The lens are fantastic and clear, the quality of the frame is very high end, and the comfort of wearing is incredible. Then there is the fashion aspect. These are true swarovski crystals and are every bit as gorgeous as you would expect from the name. I'm thrilled with these sunglasses!
