At the tender age of five, Nitros young eyes witnessed his mom overdose on heroin. As luck would have it, his father was serving a life sentence. An orphan, nonetheless, his mothers mom was his only surviving relative, his true saving grace. Ms. Marry did her best to instill mannerism and respect. In doing so, she emphasized that dignity and integrity were the cardinal principles of life. On the contrary to her rearing, the mean, gritty streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, did not coincide. Bounded by fate, Trouble was Nitros right-hand man after Nitro stumbled onto a bathroom fight at school. Trouble was getting double-teamed by two local hotheads. Nitro intervened, and then the dynamic duo was created. Since that day, the two became inseparable, tackling all their business endeavors together and kept it one hundred with each other amid all the fuckery. They were homies in the truest sense of the word. Would their street shrewdness help them prevail?
The life of a major figure in twentieth‑century economic history whose impact has long been clouded by dubious allegations Although Harry Dexter White (1892–1948) was arguably the most important U.S. government economist of the twentieth century, he is remembered more for having been accused of being a Soviet agent. During the Second World War, he became chief advisor on international financial policy to Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, a role that would take him to Bretton Woods, where he would make a lasting impact on the architecture of postwar international finance. However, charges of espionage, followed by his dramatic testimony before the House Un‑American Activities Committee and death from a heart attack a few days later, obscured his importance in setting the terms for the modern global economy. In this book, James Boughton rehabilitates White, delving into his life and work and returning him to a central role as the architect of the world’s financial system.
