The 1980s witnessed a lemming-like rush into the sea of debt on the part of the American industrial and financial communities, with consequences we are only beginning to appreciate. But the speculative frenzy of the eighties didn't just happen. It was the culmination of a long cycle of slow relaxation of credit practices--the subject of James Grant's brilliant, clear-eyed history of American finance. Two long-running trends converged in the 1980s to create one of our greatest speculative booms: the democratization of credit and the socialization of risk. At the turn of the century, it was almost impossible for the average working person to get a loan. In the 1980s, it was almost impossible to refuse one. As the pace of lending grew, the government undertook to bear more and more of the creditors' risk--a pattern, begun in the Progressive era, which reached full flower in the "conservative" administration of Ronald Reagan. Based on original scholarship as well as firsthand observation, Grant's book puts our recent love affair with debt in an entirely fresh, often chilling, perspective. The result is required--and wickedly entertaining--reading for everyone who wants or needs to understand how the world really works.
"A brilliantly eccentric, kaleidoscopic tour of our credit lunacy. . . . A splendid, tooth-gnashing saga that should be savored for its ghoulish humor and passionately debated for its iconoclastic analysis. It is a fitting epitaph to the credit binge of the '80s."--Ron Chernow, The Wall Street Journal.

Goes great with pressed powder foundation!
Size: 0.4 fl oz (Pack of 1)
I purchased the mini size of this product to keep in my purse. I use the mist with my Jane Iredell pressed powder foundation. I use one spray after the application of Powder and then I use again in the afternoon just for a refresh. It makes my skin glow. It’s lightweight and the application is easy. It doesn’t make the powder feel heavy on my face. highly recommend.

an amazing primer
Style: Brightening
This is an amazing primer. I only use it when I'm dressing up since it is expensive. It has always helped minimize my pores and helped smooth the appearance of my makeup. I've been using this primer for years. I first learned about this makeup brand from my dermatologist. I am acne prone and none of their products break me out.

Best Foundation Primer
Style: Brightening
Works incredibly well as a foundation primer. Once I found this ( a sample given to me) I will never use moisturizer underneath my foundation. This product is amazing at creating the perfect surface for one of my two foundation products - Clinique or Laura Mercier (Depends on the season for me as to which I use!) No pilling of my foundation, which always happened to me even if I used expensive moisturizer! This is so much better. Apply, then give yourself a minute before applying foundation.

LOVE THIS MAKEUP PRIMER
Style: Brightening
I have been using this PRIMER for several months. The makeup goes on much smoother, the age spots are a lot less noticeable, and my makeup last throughout the day. Using Jane Iredale Facial Primer and Brightener is now part of my makeup routine.

Finally, a clean, sheer non-greasy primer and brightener!
Style: Brightening
I fortunately discovered this product several years ago, and have since enjoyed using it daily along with the lightweight tinted moisturizer and other items. I do not look "caked", shiny or oily. Perfect make-up for a natural, healthy appearance. Also, I've noticed benefits to my overall skin condition. I highly recommend Jane Iredale makeup, and coming from a 78 year old lady who likes to look good, that is indeed a compliment.
