  From the acclaimed environmentalist, a call to harness solar power and rewrite our scientific, economic, and political future. 
   
   
   
  Every eighteen hours, the world puts up a nuclear power plant's–worth of solar panels. At the same time, combustion continues to melt our poles, poison our bodies, and drive our global inequality. And it is no longer necessary: For the first time in 700,000 years, we know how to catch the sun’s rays and convert them into energy. 
   
   
   
  In Here Comes the Sun, world-renowned author Bill McKibben tells the story of our sudden spike in power from the sun and wind. McKibben traces the arrival of plentiful, inexpensive solar energy, which, if it accelerates, gives us a chance not just to limit climate change’s damage, but to reorder the world on saner and more humane grounds. Getting there means overcoming obstacles like Big Oil, but McKibben sees a chance for a new civilization: one that looks up to the sun, every day, as the star that fuels our world.

  We live in a capitalist world in which supply determines demand. If you reduce supply or increase demand, society will be obliged to accept scarcity, whether genuine or perceived. On February 16, 2021, the artist Beeple sold his Everyday: The First 5000 Days for a record-breaking $69.3 million in cryptocurrency at Christie's auction house. No auction house had before authorized the sale of digital files created on blockchain technology, nor had they ever accepted cryptocurrencies as a payment option. Bitcoin shares have already climbed to over $24,000 during the Covid-19 epidemic of 2020, a 224 percent increase. Two months after Beeple's historic art auction, Bitcoin set a new high of more than $64,000 per share on April 14, 2021. As a result, everyone's attention was drawn to NFTs, new cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain.Visual artists and musicians, writers, videographers, and others in the creative industries became aware of NFTs and the benefits they could provide to the art community. While the physical world appeared to be shutting down, the digital cosmos survived, grew, and entered new paradigms. Using the Internet as a revenue source during a global pandemic was a clever, new, and modern way for artists to continue their livelihoods. Artists have been able to advertise themselves to a wider audience as the NFT industry increases and become more mainstream, even if they have a minimal history in digital arts. Well-known public figures also benefit, perhaps reducing financial chances for lesser artists. Major brand familiarity and high-profile influencers encourage transactions across large corporations. Celebrities are now not only producing limited edition NFTs but also branding their own "social money." Social currency is a type of cryptocurrency released by a brand, community, or influencer to make their fans feel important and a part of their particular fandom.This book examines the technical underpinnings of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, notably

  During the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, our financial infrastructure failed. Govern­ments bailed out the very institutions that let the economy down. This episode spurred a serious rethink of our financial system. 
   
    
   
  In DeFi and the Future of Finance, Campbell R. Harvey, Ashwin Ramachandran, and Joey Santoro introduce the new world of Decen­tralized Finance. The book argues that the current financial landscape is ripe for dis­ruption and we are seeing, in real time, the reinvention of finance. 
   
    
   
  The authors provide listeners with a clear assessment of the problems with the current financial system and how DeFi solves many of its issues. The essence of DeFi is that we interact with peers—there is no brick and mortar and all of the associated costs. Savings and lending are reinvented. Trading takes place with algorithms far re­moved from traditional brokerages. 
   
    
   
  The book conducts a deep dive on some of the most innovative protocols such as Uniswap and Compound. Many of the companies featured in the book you might not have heard of—however, you will in the future.
