Sinopsis

"Wealth and Power" explores how money, in its various forms, has shaped human history, influencing class structures, power dynamics, and economic development. It argues that money is not merely a neutral tool but a social construct that actively shapes societal hierarchies. For instance, control over monetary systems historically influenced the stability and strength of empires, while access to wealth has shaped class divisions and social mobility. The book traces monetary systems from ancient barter to modern digital finance, examining their role in social and political change. It reveals how historical contexts, like political ideologies and social norms, facilitated the adoption and evolution of these systems. By integrating historical sources with quantitative and qualitative analysis, "Wealth and Power" provides a nuanced understanding of the relationship between money, power, and society.

 
The book progresses by introducing core concepts related to money, wealth, and power, and then moves to examining key epochs in monetary history. It analyzes money's impact on the rise and fall of empires and its effect on social stratification. The book concludes by discussing implications for the modern global economy, including financial crises and income inequality.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR EPILEPSY YOU'RE NOT ALONE
Inspired by her own battles, Chillemi wrote a book to give those coping with the disorder greater self-esteem, hope, and motivation. -- Lad - Star-Ledger Newspaper
Life deals us many hard blows that we often don't expect. I admire the fact that someone like Stacey Chillemi was thrown a curveball that may have knocked many of us down to the point where many of us may not have wanted to get back up, but she did. It wasn't easy, but she possesses a determined spirit that won't let her give up. For that reason, Stacey will go far and achieve whatever dreams she sets her mind to accomplish. Della Crews Reporter -- Editorial Review -Anchor / Talk Show Host /News 12 NJ, Review
An important, clearly-written book with everything I've been looking for, for over 50 years since I was diagnosed with epilepsy. In particular, I'm able to explain to others things about me that I never knew before, as well as recommend this book. Thanks to the author for sharing her knowledge with the world.

Bitcoin One Million - The Final...

Fred Krueger, Ben Sigman

The purpose of this book is to present a clear, math- and logic-based argument for why Bitcoin is on the path to $1 million. Inside, you’ll find the data and reasoning that will not only strengthen your own conviction but also give you the tools to confidently explain Bitcoin’s trajectory to others. 
We examine all the major asset classes - stocks, bonds, gold, and real estate - and show why Bitcoin will outperform them. You’ll see Bitcoin’s relationship to other assets laid out with mathematical precision, while also gaining insight into the psychology of holding through volatility. Practical tools like the Kelly Criterion are introduced to help you automatically manage allocation and risk. 
Finally, we look ahead-10 years, 20 years into the future - and ask: What does the world look like when Bitcoin reaches $1 million? What’s the path that gets us there? And how probable is that outcome given the trends already in motion?
