Sinopsis

The First Coins explores the revolutionary invention of coinage by the Lydians and its profound impact on ancient economies and societies. The book begins by establishing the pre-coinage world, highlighting the limitations of barter systems. Coinage emerged not merely as a technological advancement but as a catalyst for social, political, and economic change. Notably, the Lydians' innovation enabled efficient taxation, which contributed to the rise of more stable and complex societies. The book traces the evolution of Lydian coinage, from its origins to its adoption by other Mediterranean civilizations like the Greeks and Persians. By analyzing archaeological evidence, historical accounts, and numismatic data, the work reveals how different cultures adapted the Lydian model to their specific needs. The study of the first coins provides essential insights into the development of modern monetary systems. It demonstrates the lasting legacy of Lydian coinage and its continuing relevance in understanding economic history. The book progresses by first introducing the Lydian civilization, then delving into the creation of the first coins, followed by tracing the spread of coinage, and concluding with the lasting legacy of Lydian coinage.

    The Creative Self - Beyond...

    "Be the best you can be!" Practically from the moment we are born, we are taught to optimize our lives—to devote ourselves to increasing our productivity and efficiency, which, we are told, will make us happier and more successful. The imperative of constant self-improvement, however, drains us dry even as it promises to build us up. 
     
     
     
    The Creative Self delves into the hegemony of neoliberal self-optimization and turns to psychoanalysis in search of an alternative. In paired chapters, Mari Ruti and Gail M. Newman examine the works of the psychoanalysts Marion Milner and Donald W. Winnicott. They provide deeply personal accounts of how these thinkers resonate with day-to-day life, exploring modes of selfhood that subtly but profoundly resist the lure and escape the trap of competitive individualism. Milner urges us to relinquish the ego in the face of loss and lack, and Winnicott asks us to accept the paradoxes of the self instead of demanding their resolution. Together, their insights help us flourish where neoliberal self-improvement would stifle us. Combining the intellectual, the personal, and the political from two perspectives that converge and diverge in striking ways, this book offers an antidote to transactional individualism and envisions forms of creative living beyond its confines.

The novel explores themes of prophecy, destiny, and free will, as well as the struggle for power and the consequences of choices made.
