At the dawn of World War I, a young academic named John Maynard Keynes hastily folded his long legs into the sidecar of his brother-in-law’s motorcycle for an odd, frantic journey that would change the course of history. Swept away from his placid home at Cambridge University by the currents of the conflict, Keynes found himself thrust into the halls of European treasuries to arrange emergency loans and packed off to America to negotiate the terms of economic combat. The terror and anxiety unleashed by the war would transform him from a comfortable obscurity into the most influential and controversial intellectual of his day—a man whose ideas still retain the power to shock in our own time.
Keynes was not only an economist but the preeminent anti-authoritarian thinker of the twentieth century, one who devoted his life to the belief that art and ideas could conquer war and deprivation. As a moral philosopher, political theorist, and statesman, Keynes led an extraordinary life that took him from intimate turn-of-the-century parties in London’s riotous Bloomsbury art scene to the fevered negotiations in Paris that shaped the Treaty of Versailles, from stock market crashes on two continents to diplomatic breakthroughs in the mountains of New Hampshire to wartime ballet openings at London’s extravagant Covent Garden.
Along the way, Keynes reinvented Enlightenment liberalism to meet the harrowing crises of the twentieth century. In the United States, his ideas became the foundation of a burgeoning economics profession, but they also became a flash point in the broader political struggle of the Cold War, as Keynesian acolytes faced off against conservatives in an intellectual battle for the future of the country—and the world. Though many Keynesian ideas survived the struggle, much of the project to which he devoted his life was lost.
In this riveting biography, veteran journalist Zachary D. Carter unearths the lost legacy of one of history’s most fascinating minds. The Price of Peace revives a forgotten set of ideas about democracy, money, and the good life with transformative implications for today’s debates over inequality and the power politics that shape the global order.

Dog didn’t like sound it makes
Color: Duck(Yellow)
I ordered the duck. It’s yellow and a good size for small to medium dogs. It is well made but as the information states this is for gentle chewers.
I have a yorkie poo who thinks he is a big dog and likes toys bigger than himself and this fit the bill until…he heard the sound it makes. He didn’t like it and now refuses to play with it. 🤷🏻♀️ So the 4 stars because he did like it and did play with it. Minus one because of the sound he doesn’t care for. I will need to cut it open if I want him to play with it again. As of right now he doesn’t want to get near it.

Not actually for aggressive chewers
Color: Alligator(Green)
*sigh* Yet ANOTHER toy that's marketed for aggressive chewers that doesn't live up to its claims. My 50-lb goldendoodle put a hole in the plush part of this alligator toy in under 3 minutes, and that was just from normal chewing and not the tooth gnashing with her molars that she usually does.
So why 5 stars still? Because after that initial hole was created, we've asked her to be gentle with it, and she's done a fairly good job, leading to a toy that is still intact that she absolutely LOVES. No kidding, this is her new favorite "baby," although I do suspect that the next new toy she gets will then become her new favorite. Kids, amirite?
Anyway, I suspect that she loves this toy so much (aside from the fact that it's the newest one) because it's kind of like 2 toys in 1. She has a large rope toy that she adores and only gets to play with when closely supervised because otherwise she uses her teeth to effectively cut through all of the individual rope strings in no time flat. This kind of mimics that texture, but she gets to play with this one to her heart's content and so far hasn't done any appreciable damage to it. She also loves the texture of plush toys, and this one is large enough that she can really grab it in her mouth, but not so big that it takes any effort to carry around.
The squeaker has somehow managed to remain alive, and I attribute that to her being asked to be more gentle with this toy, since usually, the reason why she's making holes in plushies is to dig that most cherished little plastic squeaker out of her toys' guts.
This is actually a pretty expensive dog toy, though the current coupon price brings it to just under $15, which seems more reasonable, but still kind of pricey for something that your dog may chew completely through in 10 minutes.
If you don't have an aggressive chewer, this is a pretty great toy. If you do, be prepared to pay for a toy that will become a pile of innards in pretty short order.

Well-Made Toy That My Dog Loves, Great Quality and Fun
Color: Alligator(Green), Color: Alligator(Green)
This dog toy has been a great addition to our pup’s collection. It’s well made and feels like solid quality that will stand up to regular play, which is exactly what you want rather than something that falls apart after a few uses.
My Havanese absolutely loves it. The size is just right for small to medium-sized dogs, and we’ve had a lot of fun with tug-of-war and gentle fetch sessions. The texture and feel give her something satisfying to bite and carry around.
Pros:
Well made and durable, feels like it will last through many play sessions.
Great size for small to medium dogs like my Havanese.
Encourages play and interaction, perfect for tug-of-war and light fetch.
Nice value for the quality and price.
Easy to grip for both dog and human hands.
Cons:
Not ideal for extreme chewers; if your dog loves to destroy toys quickly, you might need a super-heavy-duty option.
A bit simple in design, no squeaker, but that’s just personal preference.
Overall, this is a solid, fun toy that delivers on quality and performance, and my dog genuinely enjoys it. Highly recommend. Still gets 5 stars!

Didn't last 5 minutes

Didn't last 5 minutes with my 9 month old pomeranian. Do not recommend if you have an aggressive chewer.
