An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations

Adam Smith

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations," Adam Smith deftly explores the foundations of economic theory, presenting a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of production, labor, and trade. Employing a luminous prose style that intertwines philosophical introspection with empirical observation, Smith navigates the complexities of a burgeoning capitalist society in the 18th century. His seminal work critiques mercantilism while advocating for free markets and the 'invisible hand' that guides economic self-interest towards collective benefit, solidifying the book's status as a cornerstone of classical economics. Adam Smith, often revered as the father of modern economics, was not only a philosopher but also a keen observer of human behavior, shaped by the Enlightenment ideals of his time. With a background in moral philosophy and an acute awareness of the socio-political currents of his era, Smith crafted this treatise to challenge prevailing economic doctrines and to illustrate the potential of individual initiative in fostering societal wealth. Readers seeking to comprehend the intricacies of economic principles and their historical evolution will find Smith's work indispensable. "Wealth of Nations" is not merely an economic manuscript; it is a profound discourse on human society that continues to resonate with contemporary debates on capitalism and ethics in economics.

Presence - The Strange Science...

Ben Alderson-Day

A psychologist’s journey to understand one of the most unusual experiences known to humankind: the universal, disturbing feeling that someone is there when we are alone 
 
These experiences of sensing a “presence” when no one else is there have been given many names—the Third Man, guardian angels, shadow figures, “social” hallucinations—and they have inspired, unsettled, and confounded in equal measure. 
 
While the contexts in which they occur are diverse, they are united by a distinct and uncanny feeling of visitation. But what does this feeling mean, and where does it come from? When and why do presences emerge? And how can we even begin to understand a phenomenon that can be transformative for those who  
experience it, and yet so hard to put into words? 
 
The answers to these questions lie in this tour de force, which takes readers through contemporary psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, and philosophy.  
 
Presence follows Ben Alderson-Day’s attempts—as a psychologist and a researcher—to understand how this experience is possible. What is a voice when it isn’t heard, and how otherwise do we know or feel that someone is in our presence? Is it a hallucination, a change in the working of the brain, or something else? 
 
The journey to understand takes us to meet explorers, mediums, and robots, andallows us to step through real, imagined, and virtual worlds. Presence is the story of who we carry with us, at all times, as parts of ourselves.
