Sinopse

Oasis Trade Blooms: Berber Commerce Expanding in Urban Hubs explores the pivotal role of Berber merchants in shaping North African societies through pre-modern trade. It argues that Berber commercial networks were instrumental in transforming isolated desert communities into thriving urban hubs by facilitating the exchange of goods and fostering cultural interactions across the Sahara. The book reveals how these networks, far from being mere conduits, actively spurred urbanization and contributed to the economic complexity of the region.

 
The study delves into the evolution of Berber trade routes, the organizational structures employed by merchants, and the reciprocal relationship between commerce and urban development. For instance, Berber merchants developed sophisticated caravan management and credit systems to mitigate risks in the volatile trade environment. By examining historical sources like caravan contracts and merchant correspondence, the book provides a granular view of business practices. Quantitative data is also used to analyze trade volumes and urban growth.

 
The book progresses from introducing the geographical and historical context to exploring key trading centers like Sijilmasa, then investigates Berber business strategies, and concludes by examining the impact of commerce on North African cities. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of Berber commercial expansion, making it valuable for anyone interested in business history, pre-modern economic systems, and the development of urban centers.

    Debacle - Obama's War on Jobs...

    During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama promised time after  time "a net spending cut" to make government smaller in order to  cut the deficit. But the huge increase in government spending and  debt, and the resulting higher future taxes will make America a  poorer country. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the  deficits that President Obama proposes for the years from 2011  through 2020 come to a staggering $126,000 per family of four. That  is on top of the $35,000 per family already chalked up under the  first two years of Obama's administration. But has all the new  government been worth it? Are Americans happier because the  government has determined where this money should be spent? The  answer is clearly no.   Obama's economic policies have raised unemployment, slowed  economic growth, dramatically raised the national debt, squandered  taxpayer money through poor investments, and further damaged the  housing market. The economy will eventually grow, though slowly.  The No Tax Pledge will explain why Obama's policies on  spending, taxes, regulation have all worked to harm the recovery,  increased unemployment, and depressed housing prices. This debate  is part of a broader debate over Keynesian economics most notably  involving Paul Krugman in the New York Times. The authors  plan on dissecting these arguments and explaining why Keynesianism  represents more a way of transferring wealth to desired political  constituencies than it provides a legitimate economic theory for  how the economy operates.

    You're busy trying to lead a "full" life. But does it really feel full—or are you stretched too thin? Enter Stew Friedman, Wharton professor, adviser to leaders across the globe, and passionate advocate of replacing the misguided metaphor of "work/life balance" with something more realistic and sustainable. If you're seeking "balance" you'll never achieve it, argues Friedman. The idea that "work" competes with "life" ignores the more nuanced reality of our humanity—the interaction of four domains: work, home, community, and the private self. The goal is to create harmony among them instead of thinking only in terms of trade-offs. It can be done. 
     
     
     
    Building on his national bestseller, Total Leadership, Friedman identifies the critical skills for integrating work and the rest of life. He illustrates them through compelling original stories of these remarkable people: former Bain & Company CEO and Bridgespan cofounder Tom Tierney, Facebook COO and bestselling author Sheryl Sandberg, nonprofit leader and US Navy SEAL Eric Greitens, US First Lady Michelle Obama, soccer champion-turned-broadcaster Julie Foudy, and renowned artist Bruce Springsteen. 
     
     
     
    Each of these admirable (though surely imperfect) people exemplifies a set of skills—for being real, being whole, and being innovative—that produce a sense of purpose, coherence, and optimism.
