Synopsis

"Markets Before Money" explores the fascinating economic landscape of pre-monetary societies, revealing sophisticated systems of barter, trade networks, and resource allocation. It examines how early societies managed economic exchange before coinage, challenging the common assumption that money is essential for a thriving market. The book demonstrates that barter, often viewed as simple, involved complex social dynamics and innovative solutions to overcome limitations like the "double coincidence of wants." The book meticulously charts the evolution of ancient trade routes, highlighting their crucial role in spreading resources, ideas, and technologies across cultures. It also investigates community resource exchange, focusing on systems like communal ownership and reciprocal obligations which ensured stability. Drawing from archaeological evidence, anthropological studies, and historical records, the book adopts a narrative non-fiction style to present complex economic concepts in an accessible way. Beginning with a theoretical framework, the book progresses through case studies from regions like ancient Mesopotamia and pre-Columbian America, offering insights into diverse forms of pre-monetary exchange. Ultimately, it connects pre-monetary practices to the development of early monetary systems, informing contemporary debates about alternative currencies and sustainable resource management.

    A financial revolution is materializing before our eyes. The way individuals, organizations, and governments conduct transactions—from purchasing a book online to acquiring major corporations to delivering billions in financial aid—will look vastly different in the near future. Bitcoin is spearheading this revolution and may be the best investment opportunity of our time, yet most people have yet to understand its promise. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Bobby C. Lee, one of the earliest pioneers in the cryptocurrency space, debunks myths and dispels fears that surround Bitcoin, arguing that this rational, logical system is superior to traditional monetary systems. He cites signs of Bitcoin's widening acceptance: a growing community of users worldwide and multiple initiatives for investing in and holding bitcoin among major financial services organizations and institutional investors who control trillions in assets. 
     
     
     
    Lee offers a primer on the best strategies for investing in this digital currency, the value of which will only continue to grow. He discusses the pros and cons, and covers the complicated yet more profitable method of acquiring bitcoin, mining. He offers predictions for the future, including price, trajectory, use, and participation in the larger economy—as well as developments in regulation, technology, business, and society.

    The world has changed, our lives have changed, and in recent years, our work has changed. Despite the disruption, our relationship and understanding of self-care have remained the same as we still see it as something fluffy or a perfect list of habits that we "do" alone outside of work to recover. But what if self-care wasn't something we "do"? What if self-care is a mindset that allows us to achieve peak performance, engagement, and growth without burning out and sacrificing our health and joy? 
     
     
     
    In The Self-Care Mindset, Jeanette Bronée delivers a groundbreaking approach that challenges us to rethink self-care at work so we no longer have to choose between being healthy and being successful. With Jeanette's inclusive approach to self-care, you will receive the tools to protect and unlock our most important resource: our humanity. You'll learn how to better manage stress, break free from living in survival mode, and navigate FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) so you can harness change and grow by reclaiming agency and recovering what you care about. You'll also: discover proven frameworks and useful tools, like "Power Pausing" and the "C.A.R.E. Framework"; find ways to move beyond the outdated concept of "work-life balance" to one of "work-life quality"; and learn to build an ecosystem of relationships with yourself, with others, and with work itself.

    'Groundbreaking . . . [provides] a deep history of the invention of the "normal" mind as one of the most damaging and oppressive tools of capitalism. To read it is to see the world more clearly' Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes 
     
     
     
    Neurodiversity is on the rise. Awareness and diagnoses have exploded in recent years, but we are still missing a wider understanding of how we got here and why. Beyond simplistic narratives of normativity and difference, this groundbreaking book exposes the very myth of the 'normal' brain as a product of intensified capitalism. 
     
     
     
    Exploring the rich histories of the neurodiversity and disability movements, Robert Chapman shows how the rise of capitalism created an 'empire of normality' that transformed our understanding of the body into that of a productivity machine. Neurodivergent liberation is possible—but only by challenging the deepest logics of capitalism. Empire of Normality is an essential guide to understanding the systems that shape our bodies, minds, and deepest selves—and how we can undo them.
