Story1
Since Alexis de Tocqueville, restlessness has been accepted as a signature American trait. Our willingness to move, take risks, and adapt to change have produced a dynamic economy and a tradition of innovation from Ben Franklin to Steve Jobs. The problem, according to legendary blogger, economist, and best-selling author Tyler Cowen, is that Americans today have broken from this tradition - we're working harder than ever to avoid change.

Facebook's founding is legend: In a Harvard dorm, wunderkind Mark Zuckerberg invented a new way to connect with friends...and the rest is history. But for the people who actually molded this great idea into a game-changing $300 billion company, the experience was far more tumultuous and uncertain than we might expect. Mike Hoefflinger was one of those Facebook insiders.

In a sweeping narrative that takes listeners from the production of Stone Age axes, to the invention of chocolate chip cookies, to the experience of Burning Man, Philip Auerswald argues that the key driver of human history is the advance of code. At each major stage in the advance of code over the span of centuries, shifts in the structure of society have challenged human beings to reinvent not only how we work, but who we are. We are at one of those stages now.

There is no single theory of what caused the Great Depression and never will be, Morris argues. Macreconomics is a social science, and such a massive event always takes its shape from a terrible confluence of factors. The mismanagement of the gold standard, the growth in consumer credit, the insistence on deflation, and the inability of the major European belligerents of World War I to agree on a reconstruction agenda are just a few of the shocks that pushed the world into an economic Armageddon.

In this timely new P.I . Guide, Murphy reveals the stark truth: free market failure didn't cause the Great Depression and the New Deal didn't cure it. Shattering myths and politically correct lies, he tells why World War II didn't help the economy or get us out of the Great Depression; why it took FDR to make the Depression "Great"; and why Herbert Hoover was more like Obama and less like Bush than the liberal media would have you believe.

Here he provides a comprehensive account of the economic, military, political, and demographic risks that bedevil half of our world, arguing that Asia, working with the United States, has a unique opportunity to avert catastrophe - but only if it acts boldly.

Story0
We Sell Drugs is a study grounded in the transnational geography and political economy of the coca-leaf and coca-derived commodities market stretching from Peru and Bolivia into the United States. More than a narrow biography of one famous plant and its equally famous derivative products - Coca-Cola and cocaine - this audiobook situates these commodities within the larger landscape of drug production and consumption. Examining efforts to control the circuits through which coca traveled, Suzanna Reiss provides a geographic and legal basis for considering the historical construction of designations of legality and illegality.
The book also argues that the legal status of any given drug is largely premised on who grew, manufactured, distributed, and consumed it and not on the qualities of the drug itself. Drug control is a powerful tool for ordering international trade, national economies, and society's habits and daily lives. In a historical landscape animated by struggles over political economy, national autonomy, hegemony, and racial equality, We Sell Drugs insists on the socio-historical underpinnings of designations of legality to explore how drug control became a major weapon in asserting control of domestic and international affairs.

Este libro revela una posible estrategia económica para evitar una recesión prolongada y profunda a causa de la pandemia del COVID-19. Trías de Bes la ha bautizado como la solución Nash. El premio nobel de Economía John Nash defendió que hay situaciones en las que la mejor opción individual de los agentes económicos conduce al peor de los escenarios para el conjunto. La economía está ahora en tal situación. La solución Nash consta de dos medidas: la compra de tiempo por parte del Estado y la orquestación entre agentes económicos.

Seine Idee rettet Millionen Menschenleben. Im Jahr 1999 macht Ingmar Hoerr als Doktorand in einem Tübinger Labor eine überraschende Entdeckung: mRNA funktioniert als Impfstoff. Über zwanzig Jahre später schützt sich die Welt mit eben solchen mRNA-Impfstoffen vor dem Coronavirus: mit den Vakzinen von BioNTech, Moderna und CureVac. Zwischen Experiment und Triumph liegen zwei Jahrzehnte hartnäckigen Forschens. Mehrfach wäre Ingmar Hoerr mit CureVac fast gescheitert, hätte er nicht Dietmar Hopp, Bill Gates und Elon Musk von seiner Vision überzeugt.

Che cos'è l'Europa? La definizione più azzeccata ce l'ha data Jacques Delors: l'Europa è un "oggetto politico non identificato". Un Ufo. Perché l'Europa non è né uno stato né una vera e propria organizzazione internazionale. Partendo dai suoi padri fondatori e madri fondatrici, Virginia Volpi traccia una breve, felice storia della nascita della Ue. Ci spiega quali sono le sue istituzioni più importanti e come funzionano, i cambiamenti che ha portato a livello politico ed economico negli stati aderenti. Ci racconta i valori su cui si fonda ma anche i problemi.

Nel suo percorso millenario il nostro paese ha conosciuto fasi alterne di prosperità e di declino. Dopo i successi del Novecento, da anni sembra arenato nelle secche di una lunga stagnazione, che non trova paragoni nel resto dell'Occidente. Come è stato possibile passare da una realtà economica tra le più floride all'attuale declino? Alla luce delle più aggiornate ricerche sul reddito e sulla disuguaglianza, sul divario Nord-Sud e sulla performance delle imprese, l'audiolibro mostra come l'origine dei successi e dei fallimenti italiani sia da ricercarsi nell'assetto politico.

Following a remarkable epoch of greater dispersion of wealth and opportunity, we are inexorably returning towards a more feudal era marked by greater concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, demographic stagnation, and increased dogmatism. If the last 70 years saw a massive expansion of the middle class, not only in America but in much of the developed world, today that class is declining and a new, more hierarchical society is emerging. The new class structure resembles that of Medieval times.

This book is about the partnership of God and Mammon in the New World - about how Americans have made money and lost money, and about how they have thought about that obsessive and peculiarly American subject. Money is the basic American thing, the life's blood of the country. God and Mammon shows how the dynamics of money in its many dimensions (material, spiritual, cultural, psychological) worked to make America what it is. It traces the grand American binaries of success and failure to their theological origins in Calvinism's anxieties about salvation and damnation.

Between 1500 and 1800, the North Sea region overtook the Mediterranean as the most dynamic part of the world. At its core, the Anglo-Dutch relationship intertwined close alliance and fierce antagonism to intense creative effect. But a precondition for the Industrial Revolution was also the establishment in British North America of a unique type of colony - for the settlement of people and culture, rather than the extraction of things.
