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.

Bad fit
Style: C20 Parts * 19pcs
The dust bags do not fit properly. You can get the base to acknowledge them if you place them just right, but any little movement can move them out of place. I have to constantly reseat them because the base thinks there is no bag. The stock bags do not have this problem. Edit: It has gotten to the point where it is constantly flipping between registering and not registering the bag. Changing to 1 star because they are unusable. If I'm not there to fix it, the task fails every time.

Not compatible with eufy Omni C20.
Style: C20 Parts * 19pcs
The filters are too small. To avoid dust laden air from just going around them I put pieces of paper around the edges as spacers. But they're also shorter too. No chance of a reasonable seal. Then the vacuum bags are the wrong size too. The robot gives me an error message saying "no vacuum bag is detected". The mop still works, but no vacuum action. I only bought this kit because the one I was using (that works) was temporarily unavailable. Never again.
