  The Progress Illusion -...

  In The Progress Illusion, Jon D. Erickson charts the rise of the economic worldview and its infiltration into our daily lives as a theory of everything. Drawing on his own experience as a young economist inoculated in the 1980s era of "greed is good," Erickson shows how pseudoscience came to dominate economic thought. He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality. Most importantly, he demonstrates how that thinking shaped our politics and determined the course of American public policy. The result has been a system that perpetually concentrates wealth in the hands of a few, while depleting the natural resources on which economies are based. 
   
   
   
  While the history of economics is dismal indeed, Erickson is part of a vigorous reform effort grounded in the realities of life on a finite planet. This new brand of economics is both gaining steam in academia and supporting social activism. The goal is people over profit, community over consumption, and resilience over recklessness. Erickson shows crafting a new economic story is the first step toward turning away from endless growth and towards enduring prosperity.

  Between Light and Infinity -...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  What if reality is not objects in empty space, but a living architecture built from reflection, information and infinite possibility? 
   
  Between Light and Infinity offers a revolution in perspective. It proposes that everything in existence - from particles and planets to life and consciousness emerges from an underlying network of spherical reflections. Light is constantly absorbed, reshaped, and re-emitted by matter, water, air and even the atoms within us. This endless circulation of information creates a cosmic mirror system in which nothing is isolated and every interaction matters. 
   
  Drawing from modern physics, cosmology, systems theory, and the introspective depth of lived experience, this book presents a unified understanding of how the universe evolves, learns, and organises itself across all scales. Instead of approaching a “theory of everything” through equations alone, it approaches it through patterns - the universal feedback loops that generate structure, complexity, and consciousness. 
   
  You will discover: 
   
  • How light acts as the connective tissue of reality 
   
  • How information forms the hidden architecture beneath matter 
   
  • How life and mind emerge from cosmic reflection 
   
  • Why the universe continually evolves toward complexity 
   
  • How consciousness fits naturally into the fabric of existence 
   
  • And why you are an active reflector in this infinite system 
   
  Both expansive and deeply personal, Between Light and Infinity invites the reader to step into a new relationship with reality - one in which every moment is part of an infinite conversation between energy, matter, and awareness. It is a book for seekers, thinkers, scientists, creators and anyone who has ever felt that the universe is both mysterious and meaningful. 
   
  This is not merely a theory - it’s a new way of seeing everything.
