Summary

Carl Schurz's 'The Currency Question' explores the intricacies of monetary policy in the United States during the late 19th century. Written in a clear and concise style, Schurz delves into the debates surrounding the gold standard, bimetallism, and inflationary pressures. Drawing on his experience as a politician and economist, Schurz provides a thorough analysis of the economic challenges facing the nation. The book is a valuable contribution to the literature on financial history and offers insights into the political implications of monetary policy decisions. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the economic debates of the Gilded Age. Born in Germany, Carl Schurz was a prominent figure in American politics, serving as a U.S. Senator and Secretary of the Interior. His background in journalism and activism informed his writing on economic issues, making 'The Currency Question' a well-researched and informed work. Schurz's expertise shines through in his thoughtful analysis of complex economic concepts. I highly recommend 'The Currency Question' to readers interested in American economic history and political economy. Schurz's detailed examination of the currency debate offers valuable insights into the economic challenges of his time and remains relevant for understanding modern monetary policy discussions.

    “Skillfully integrate[s] timeless Buddhist wisdom with challenges faced by the present-day employee.” —Publishers Weekly  Includes an introduction by His Holiness the Dalai Lama   For thousands of years, Buddhism has provided a spiritual foundation for the daily lives of millions around the world. But does Buddhism have anything to offer us—Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike—in today’s world of work?    Franz Metcalf and BJ Gallagher think it does. Spiritual wisdom, Western or Eastern, inspires and instructs us in living a good life. And that’s just as true at work as at home. Buddha mind—a source of calm, compassion, and insight—exists within each of us, not just the historical Buddha. Being Buddha at Work shows how to embody that mind in the stress and clamor of the workplace—how to tap into the Buddha consciousness so we can relieve daily tensions and greet challenges with awareness, equanimity, and good humor.    The book’s first section, “Becoming a Mindful Worker,” covers Buddha’s wisdom for our own work; the second, “Cultivating Mindful Work Relationships,” focuses on how to work with other people; the third, “Creating a Mindful Workplace,” deals with broader organizational topics. There is wisdom here for everyone—from frontline workers and team members, to supervisors and managers, to top executives and organizational leaders.   “What do you get when a Buddhist scholar and a workplace expert write a book together? . . . A treatise with profound spiritual implications and practical applications.” —Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times-bestselling author of The Earned Life   “This little book is like having Buddha as one of your mentors or coaches—someone who can help you with real-world problems.” —Ken Blanchard, New York Times-bestselling coauthor of The One Minute Manager®

    The concept of financial independence is essential in all the parlances of economic planning. The term financial independence in itself connotes a meaning of saving for all the future expenditure to support for the expenses. The concept of financial independence is of interest mainly to people looking for retirement and life after it. Saving for the same is necessary to avoid dependency on anyone, and the methods are unique. The two conventional methods of achieving financial independence are bought asset accumulation and expenditure reduction. Both methods have their way of methodologies and difficulties. Financial independence is majorly linked with income flow and the available surplus with the people to manage the same and become financially independent. It is only the wealth accumulation that helps a person to be financially independent and in a world of heavy competition, being financially independent is of utmost importance.
