Synopsis

AMERIGO VESPUCCI 'Äì Discover the Man Behind the Legend offers a sweeping exploration of early modern encounters between Europe and the so-called 'New World'. This anthology brings together an eclectic array of letters, diaries, and narratives, showcasing the chronicles of three pivotal figures: Christopher Columbus, Bartolom√© de las Casas, and Amerigo Vespucci. Their texts, laden with wonder, horror, and curiosity, not only document the clash and blend of cultures but also offer glimpses into Renaissance Europe's burgeoning understanding of geography and ethnography. The compelling diversity within these works is emblematic of the multifaceted insights they provide, making the anthology a profound resource for examining the intertwined narratives of exploration and exploitation. The contributors to this collection stand as both chroniclers and architects of the Age of Discovery. Columbus' encounters and misconceptions, de las Casas' poignant critiques of colonial brutality, and Vespucci's vivid descriptions of unknown lands collectively position the anthology at the crossroads of historical and literary inquiry. Drawing from divergent backgrounds and experiences, the texts allow readers to appreciate the complexity of imperial narratives and the persistent negotiation between power and morality during an era of immense change. This collection is an indispensable resource for readers seeking to immerse themselves in the vibrant dialogues of discovery, colonialism, and human endeavor. It offers an invaluable educational journey through a tapestry of narratives, providing myriad perspectives within a single volume. By engaging with the voices woven throughout the anthology, readers can enhance their understanding of early modern transatlantic exchanges and the enduring impact these explorers' accounts have had on shaping historical imagination and discourse.

    For thousands of years mankind has sought out the mythical substance we now call the Elixir of Life. The tablet, pill, fluid or even spiritual concept that will enable us to live forever. 
     
    From ancient Egypt to medieval Europe, great civilizations have secretly worked tirelessly to discover the power of nature. To alter God's predestined human life span and unlock the mysteries of life eternal. 
     
    Along the way there have been many false claims and foolish ideas. But one secret remained hidden. Locked away in a belief system now lost to us and hidden by a jealous Church. The secret of the Elixir of Life was discovered. A substance that protected mankind from illness and extended his life. A natural poison that was also a natural cure. 
     
    We shall discover the secret locked away in the mythology of the ancient worship of the serpent. It will reveal to us the truth behind the Holy Grail and the Philosophers Stone. And now, with modern science we will see the wonder of our ancestors and their amazing discovery of the Elixir of Life.

    Return to Growth Volume One -...

    The UK has, in recent years, been suffering from what is nothing short of an economic crisis. Growth has now completely stalled in those western democracies, the UK included, where high government spending and high taxes have steadily burgeoned, decade after decade. Free-market economies now threaten to leave us behind in terms of wealth, opportunity and standards of living. At the end of Rishi Sunak's 2024 government, expenditure was at 45 per cent of GDP and taxes were 36 per cent and rising – yet still nowhere near sufficient to cover public expenditure. The government's net annual borrowing is now a completely unsustainable 4.4 per cent of GDP, with our overall national debt growing rapidly and alarmingly.
    In this arresting and powerful manifesto for economic change, Jon Moynihan analyses the UK's decades-long stagnant economy and looks at what can be done to resuscitate it. Combining rigorous research with unparalleled business experience, he explores the key dynamics affecting economic growth, ranging from government borrowing, expenditure, tax and regulation to the way national resources are deployed on non-productive and futile, growth-stifling endeavours.
    Ultimately, Moynihan shows that unless we act now to reverse the decline, by radically restructuring our economy to stimulate economic growth, the UK risks stagnation, financial collapse and a long-term disintegration in our standard of living. Ignore his warning at your peril.
