Sinossi

"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.

Economic Disasters -...

Marcus Klein

This book consists of two titles, which are the following:\
· Global Debt: The global debt crisis is one of the most pressing issues of our time, affecting nations, corporations, and individuals alike. Over the past several decades, debt has skyrocketed across the world, creating a complex web of financial obligations that have far-reaching consequences. As debt levels soar, the very foundations of economic stability are being threatened, with severe implications for future generations. This book seeks to explore the various dimensions of the global debt crisis and its impact on societies and economies.
· Global Poverty: Global poverty remains one of the most pressing challenges of our time, reflecting a deepening divide in the world’s wealth. Despite advances in technology, medicine, and economic systems, billions of people continue to live in conditions of extreme deprivation. This chapter introduces the complexities of global poverty, exploring its definition, scope, and implications for societies worldwide. At its core, poverty is not merely a lack of income but a multifaceted issue encompassing inadequate access to basic needs such as food, clean water, healthcare, and education. The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than $2.15 a day, a figure that starkly contrasts with the extravagant wealth enjoyed by the world’s richest individuals and nations. Beyond material deprivation, poverty often strips individuals of dignity, opportunity, and hope for a better future.

Human Being

Ashkan Tashvir

What if you could dive deeply within and understand why you interpret the world the way you do and behave a certain way in different situations? What if you could see, with vivid clarity, the unpolished aspects of someone’s character when making critical decisions involving them? Imagine the difference this would make when choosing your life partner, business partner, next employee, future employer or governing leaders. 
In HUMAN BEING – illuminating the reality beneath the facade, Ashkan Tashvir supports you to adopt an ontological (‘let’s get real’) approach to understanding human beings – yourself and others. It follows his best-selling book, BEING, in which he deeply examines a radical paradigm he engineered after a decade of intensive studies called the Being Framework™ and the philosophy behind it. Explored in this book in a clear, tangible way, the Being Framework zooms in on, breaks down and articulates the qualities behind and drivers of our decisions, behaviours and actions. 
Whether you are building a career, a startup, a family, a relationship or an organisation, this book provides you with the tools to identify and transform the elusive root causes behind the blockages holding you back and gives you a lens to observe the same in others. Ultimately, it supports you to prioritise your intentions, express your authentic self, enjoy successful relationships and lead a life of influence, well-being and fulfilment. Discover how to see through your and others’ Being by decoding the fundamental qualities that influence our behaviours and decisions and drive our results.
