Synopsis

"Joke Currency" explores the surprisingly functional world of currencies born from satire, revealing their history and economic impact. It argues that these unconventional monetary systems offer valuable insights into the principles of money and the social constructs defining value. For instance, some joke currencies facilitate real-world transactions, while others reflect societal dissent. The book uniquely examines monetary systems through humor, providing a critical analysis of the forces shaping our economic lives.

 
The book progresses by first introducing core concepts of currency and value, then exploring historical examples, analyzing their economic mechanisms, and examining their social and political messages. It demonstrates that currency isn't solely a creation of governments but can organically emerge from communities. This challenges conventional understandings of money, value, and trust.

 
By examining the historical context of joke currencies, from early scrip to modern digital forms, the book highlights the socio-political climates fostering their creation. With its accessible approach, "Joke Currency" presents historical accounts, economic analyses, and case studies to appeal to readers interested in history, economics, and alternative currencies. It fosters an understanding of how even the most unconventional monetary experiments can offer lessons about community, value, and economic innovation.

What does this book tell the reader? It provides the shock of jumping into the cold water of health emergency and disaster risk management (HEDRM), without the risk of drowning; it focuses on practical aspects of the experience of doing the work that guidelines and playbooks (as important as they are) do not address 
Who else might be interested in this book? People keen to understand how HEDRM happens in the context of highly communicable diseases, or about how global public health, emergencies, aid, and development mix, or medical history... the technical and contextual curious 
Who should NOT read this book? Anyone who is looking for gory details 
What is the main strength of this book? It is a raw view of the experience of conducting such responses at the clinical: public health interface, with some lessons durable across emergencies 
What is the main weakness of this book? It carries all of the biases of such experiences. There is a lot not said; the book has snapshots and cannot relate the 10,000,000 events during the year not described 
What is new in the 2024 edition? In print and e-book, overdue editing without loss of content, a forward that reflects on the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of themes in the book, and in the print edition available on www.amazon.com, a series of essays stepping back and exploring the ways in which people interact with the threat of infectious diseases that defines our willingness and readiness to meet them

"HEART WANT - LOGIC DOES NOT...

Saikhul Mabrur

Both, namely the Heart and Mind, are the basic ingredients for forming a humble person. 
The heart is like a small child who if left alone will endanger himself and others, Mind is like a 
parent who if there are no children, the completeness of the family becomes unbalanced. The 
heart will be good if it comes from wise directions at the level of reason, but it will be bad if it 
comes from directions to the lack of understanding of the Mind. 
This reason is also developed into a beautiful sentence from the scholars of wisdom, namely 
العقل السليم فى الجسم التسليم 
"A good reason is found in a good body" 
in that sentence, there are those who say that its application is very dialectical, meaning that not 
only is the reason mentioned first, all humans are able to implement it. the meaning of that 
sentence is that the body can be the first application. dialectic is one of the evidences of a fact 
where something cannot be 
a thing that stops statically or definitely, it is so easy to move position from the beginning to 
point A to point B, from being at point B a minute later it can be positioned at 
point A, the most important part in this case is Nothing Is Out of the Participation 
of the Almighty. Namely "a good body is very strongly bound to a good mind" 
then it becomes; 
الجسم السليم فى العقل التسليم 
According to the famous Cultural Expert and Scholar Emha Ainun Nadjib, the following are the 
various kinds of inversions of a dialectic, which are the diversity of perspectives and ways of 
thinking of every human being who is willing to process it, for the sake of continuity and 
suitability of a life path that is carried out.
