![]() ![]() Ahmed continues that trend here as the longer stories have Miles breaking up a gang of mind-controlled kids turned supervillains and teaming up with a new vigilante who has it out for Tombstone. While I enjoyed the stories Bendis wrote which featured Miles Morales, it never really felt like he was doing anything other than plugging the character into the kind of stories we’d already seen Peter Parker in. There’s no mistaking Miles from being the kind of friendly neighborhood Spider-Man we all know and love, and that’s part of this first volume’s problem. Oh, and to try and balance his responsibilities with having an actual social life. He’s struggling to balance saving people in the city with trying to get enough sleep to make it through a regular schoolday. New writer Saladin Ahmed does a good enough job of putting the title character through the traditional Spider-paces. ![]() This is the first volume of Miles Morales’ solo adventures not to be written by Bendis! Those of you hoping for a dramatic departure from the kind of stories we got with the character before, however, should check their expectations. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() MMT, as Kelton shows, shifts the terrain from narrow budgetary questions to one of broader economic and social benefits. Kelton busts through the myths that prevent us from taking action: that the federal government should budget like a household, that deficits will harm the next generation, crowd out private investment, and undermine long-term growth, and that entitlements are propelling us toward a grave fiscal crisis. Any ambitious proposal, however, inevitably runs into the buzz saw of how to find the money to pay for it, rooted in myths about deficits that are hobbling us as a country. Stephanie Kelton's brilliant exploration of modern monetary theory (MMT) dramatically changes our understanding of how we can best deal with crucial issues ranging from poverty and inequality to creating jobs, expanding health care coverage, climate change, and building resilient infrastructure. The leading thinker and most visible public advocate of modern monetary theory - the freshest and most important idea about economics in decades - delivers a radically different, bold, new understanding for how to build a just and prosperous society. ![]() ![]() ![]() The letter is goading Hodges to kill himself (he already has thoughts of suicide) but all it does it perk his interest and his desire to catch the killer.
