Exorbitant Privilege
AUTHOR: Barry Eichengreen
PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press
For more than half a century, the U.S. dollar has been not just America’s currency but the world’s. This dependence on dollars is a source of strength for the United States. It is, as a critic of U.S. policies once put it, America’s “exorbitant privilege.” But recent events have raised concerns that this soon may be a privilege lost. Some say the dollar may soon cease to be the standard-which would depress U.S. living standards and weaken the country’s international influence.

From the very first hand axe to the ubiquitous credit card, each item has a story to tell; together they relate the larger history of mankind - revealing who we are by looking at what we have made.
The Future of Us
AUTHOR: Jay Asher
PUBLISHER: Razorbill
It’s 1996, and Josh and Emma have been neighbors their whole lives. They’ve been best friends almost as long - at least, up until last November, when Josh did something that changed everything. But when Josh’s family gets a free AOL CD in the mail, his mom makes him bring it over so that Emma can install it on her new computer. When they sign on, they’re automatically logged onto their Facebook pages. But Facebook hasn’t been invented yet. And they’re looking at themselves fifteen years in the future. By refreshing their pages, they learn that making different decisions now will affect the outcome of their lives later. And as they grapple with the ups and downs of what their futures hold, they’re forced to confront what they’re doing right - and wrong - in the present.
