One of the things holding back the economic recovery recently has been slower-than-expected consumer spending growth. Apparently, consumer spending has been constrained by Americans' newfound unwillingness to borrow. I suspect, however, that this is an illusion created by a deeper problem. Consumers have the money - in fact, net worth has recovered to an all-time high - they just aren't borrowing and spending.
For the surname, see Sendak (surname). Maurice Bernard Sendak (/ËsÉndÃ¦k/; June 10, 1928 â May 8, 2012) was an American illustrator and writer of children's books. He became widely known for his book Where the Wild Things Are, first published in 1963.
James Joyce wrote some of the most influentialâand impenetrableâliterature of the 20th century. When he wasnât doing that, he wrote about cats. In 1936, Joyce mailed two stories to his grandson, Stephen. The tales would later be published as childrenâs books: The Cat and the Devil and The Cats of Copenhagen. The Cat and the Devil, a riff off a French fable, posthumously became Joyceâs first picture book in 1964.
