Beschreibung

"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.

Out of Italy - Two Centuries of...

Fernand Braudel

From the author of Memory and the Mediterranean, a comprehensive history of the Italian city states from 1450 to 1650. 
 
 
 
In the fifteenth century, even before the city states of the Apennine Peninsula began to coalesce into what would become, several centuries later, a nation, "Italy" exerted enormous influence over all of Europe and throughout the Mediterranean. Its cultural, economic, and political dominance is utterly astonishing and unique in world history. Viewing the Italy (the many Italies?) of that time through the lens of today allows us to gather a fragmented, multi-faceted, and seemingly contradictory history into a single unifying narrative that speaks to our current reality as much as it does to a specific historical period. This is what the acclaimed French historian, Fernand Braudel, achieves here. He brings to life the two extraordinary centuries that span the Renaissance, Mannerism, and the Baroque and analyzes the complex interaction between art, science, politics, and commerce during Italy's extraordinary cultural flowering.

Enquiry Concerning the...

David Hume

In his authobiography, David Hume declared unequivocally that this work, An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (1751) is ‘of all my writings, historical, philosophical, or literary, incomparably the best.’ In it, Hume takes the discussion away from traditional attitudes where either rational or metaphysical issues govern moral principles. Instead, he introduces the human factor, introducing the sentiments and passions inherent in human psychology.  
In the opening paragraph of his Enquiry he states the ground clearly: ‘There has been a controversy started of late, much better worth examination, concerning the general foundation of Morals; whether they be derived from Reason, or from Sentiment; whether we attain the knowledge of them by a chain of argument and induction, or by an immediate feeling and finer internal sense; whether, like all sound judgement of truth and falsehood, they should be the same to every rational intelligent being; or whether, like the perception of beauty and deformity, they be founded entirely on the particular fabric and constitution of the human species.’ 
He challenges the notion that reason can dictate moral principles independently of our desires and sentiments, arguing instead that reason serves as a tool to navigate and articulate our moral sentiments. 
Central to Hume's thesis is the concept of moral approbation and disapprobation, which he contends stem from our natural inclination to feel pleasure or aversion in response to certain actions or traits. 
He pursues his theme with characteristic clarity, concentrating on topics including benevolence, justice, utility, qualities useful to ourselves and others. He rejects moral absolutism which presumes the existence of immutable moral laws. Throughout, he emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassion as essential components of ethical behaviour.  
Hume's "An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals" stands as a testament to his profound insight into the complexities of human nature and morality. 
This recording also contains two essays which also reflect the independence of his views for his time, On Suicide and On the Immortality of the Soul.
