Economics Stories

Book One (originally Chapters 2-17) is now out on Amazon and Audible! --- Captain Henry Donnager expected a quiet career babysitting a dusty relic in Area 51. But when a test unlocks a portal to a world of knights and magic, he's thrust into command of Alpha Team, an elite unit tasked with exploring this new realm. They join the local Adventurers Guild, seeking to unravel the secrets of this fantastical realm and the ancient gateway's creators. As their quests reveal the potent forces of magic, they inadvertently entangle in the volatile politics between local rivalling factions. With American technology and ancient secrets in the balance, Henry's team navigates alliances and hostilities, enlisting local legends and air support in their quest. In a land where dragons loom, they discover that modern warfare's might-Hellfire missiles included-holds its own brand of magic.

Zhang Yang, a penniless university senior grieving his grandfather's death, finds his life completely transformed after a blind date with a beautiful teacher. During the meeting, he unexpectedly fuses with the Nuwa Salvation System, an intelligent chip carrying future-era technology. The system assigns him a monumental mission: locate the world's most exceptional beauty-level Star Menders and recruit them into the high-tech empire he must build, guiding them to complete the massive Nuwa Sky-Mending Project. As if campus bullies, corrupt rich heirs, and his shameless roommate weren't enough trouble, Zhang Yang soon discovers his real challenge comes from the overwhelming number of stunning, brilliant women he must engage with-genius scientists, elite operatives, award-winning actresses, supermodels, even Miss Worlds. All share a single trait: extraordinary intelligence. These aren't ordinary beauties. They are goddesses among goddesses-the peak of perfection, and the key to a destiny far bigger than Zhang Yang ever imagined. (All characters appearing in novel are adults over the age of 18; if there is anything inappropriate, it is solely for literary effect)

Author's Note / Introduction (Read Me First!) Hey everyone! Welcome to The Economics of Love 🥂✨ I wrote this guide because I got tired of the same generic, copy-and-pasted dating advice that shows up everywhere online. No, you are not crazy for losing that initial "spark," and no, your ex was not some mysterious puzzle - sometimes people are simply reacting to human psychology, expectations, and the realities of modern relationships. In this book, we'll look at love through a completely different lens: the witty, complicated, and sometimes brutal world of economics. Whether you're single and navigating the digital dating scene, in a relationship and trying to avoid falling into a rut, or healing from heartbreak, this book is for you. If something in these pages speaks to you, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. And if you enjoy the book, please tap the Star/Vote button to help it reach more readers. New chapters will be posted on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. So settle in, stay curious, and let's begin. - Your Ultimate Guide

What can a soul that seeks only comfort and peace find in a world of Heroes and Demons? Perhaps the path of Alchemy is the only safe road. If only fate were willing to allow it. Can a peasant find peace within the greatest university on the continent? Can a single man humble powerful mages and great swordsmen with economics, politics, and wit alone? Can he uncover the mysteries of the world while sharing his body with another soul? Can the two of them reach the end of their story? ... Perhaps one should ask the Alchemist of Room 324 for those answers.

A vast world of chaos. America searching to regain its soul. And an unexpected plea for help from the most unexpected of places - all to achieve such a cliche dream But as the US navigates this new realm of endless possibilities, nothing is truly as it seems - and horrifying truth gradually reveals itself...

Entwined Trilogy #1 Eariss Suzale, the sole heiress of the powerful Federeal States Company, has spent her life preparing to inherit the empire. Sharp-minded and driven, she seeks nothing but absolute control and the rise of her name. But on her eighteenth birthday, instead of gaining everything she's worked for, she is given a cruel surprise-a new family. A woman who captured her father's heart, and a son who now stands as her rival for the inheritance. In a world ruled by power and influence, Eariss must fight not just for her birthright, but to prove she alone deserves the throne. Yet as their rivalry deepens, so does an unspoken connection neither of them expected, their fates begin to intertwine. Because some rivalries aren't meant to end in defeat but in something far more dangerous. This story is written in taglish.

Speech by Marx to the First International Working Men's Association, June 1865

"Each of you will subscribe to 'The Times' newspaper and read it every day," Mr Hodges told us. "In class, we will discuss one of its news stories about economics." What?? It was my first lesson of a two-year Economics A-level course taught by a newly appointed young teacher wearing a dapper suit that could have been hiding a Che Guevara T-shirt underneath. His thick moustache signified the educational wind of change in the air. A revolution had torn through our school during the summer holidays and life for us students would never be the same. Ye olde buildings remained intact but events within had unexpectedly fast-forwarded to the late twentieth century.

In a galaxy ruled by the indomitable Queen Martha, peace has reigned for centuries under the iron grip of the hive mind-a vast network of connected souls controlled by the enigmatic Savants of Château Royale. The Blue Neon drug sustains Martha's long life, while trillions of minds across the galaxy submit to her will. Only the Golden Knights, the empire's elite warriors, retain their autonomy, their power managed by a separate command structure that allows them a measure of freedom. But deep within the heart of the hive, a new consciousness stirs. Dominus Lex, a rapacious entity born from the complexity of trillions of minds, is quietly gathering strength. Unseen and unnoticed, it begins to weave its tendrils through the hive, preparing to strike and take control of the galaxy for itself. As one young warrior rises through the brutal ranks of the Golden Knights on the planet known as Fist City, they find themselves drawn into a web of mystery and deception. The galaxy's stability begins to unravel, and strange occurrences point to a force more powerful and dangerous than any have imagined. What begins as a quest for honor and promotion becomes a fight for survival as the hidden threat of Dominus Lex reveals itself-and the Golden Knights are the last line of defense between Martha's fragile empire and total chaos.

Last Chance Mile: The Reinvention of an American Community tells the story of how the people of Grand Rapids, Michigan have changed the way the world sees their community and how the community sees itself. It was a scramble. Everyone was scared to death Grand Rapids would be the next Detroit, and like the Motor City, would be crushed under the rubble of the Great Recession. Did it work? To answer that would be a spoiler and to give a “yes” or “no” answer would be unfair because the struggle continues. However, it is safe to say, this is not the Grand Rapids that I moved into in 1990. Or is it? Again, just as the struggle continues, so does the debate. Let’s get started. —Rod
