Synopsis

In "Robinson Crusoe's Money," David Ames Wells explores the intricate relationship between economics and literature, drawing on Daniel Defoe's iconic character, Robinson Crusoe. Through a blend of narrative analysis and economic theory, Wells engages with the themes of self-sufficiency, capitalism, and consumerism as experienced by Crusoe on his isolated island. The book showcases Wells's unique literary style, infusing academic rigor with accessible prose, compelling readers to reconsider Defoe's work within the context of 19th-century economic thought and the rise of individualism in capitalist societies. David Ames Wells was a prominent economist and social reformer in the 19th century, known for his insights into taxation and educational reform. His background in both economics and literature provided him a unique lens through which to interpret Defoe'Äôs work. Drawing from his experiences and the socio-economic currents of his time, Wells sheds light on how Crusoe's financial autonomy parallels broader societal shifts toward individual wealth and autonomy, thereby illustrating how literature can inform economic understanding. This book is essential for scholars of literature and economics alike, as it invites readers to engage with familiar texts in innovative ways. Wells's arguments challenge conventional interpretations and enrich discussions about the role of literature in shaping economic ideologies, making "Robinson Crusoe's Money" a crucial text for anyone interested in the intersections of these fields.

    Claudia Black, along with over a dozen world-renowned psychotherapists including Pia Mellody, Peter Levine, Patrick Carnes, Richard Schwartz, Resmaa Menakem, and Tian Dayton, provides clinical, human-focused insights on healing, treatment, and recovery. 
    People today are struggling with an unprecedented rise in mental health concerns such as depression, eating disorders, substance abuse, behavioral addictions, suicide, and more. The greatest barriers to getting help are their shame, their self-loathing, and the belief that their situation is hopeless. Undaunted Hope destigmatizes these disorders and invites readers to take the first step to help: asking for it.  
    Through the narratives of twenty-one alumni from Meadows Behavioral Healthcare, world-renowned treatment facilities, readers may see themselves in parts of the stories—and ultimately find the courage to ask for help. Each storyteller reveals the origins of their struggles, the chaotic course of events leading up to treatment, what help entailed, and how their lives became richer, fuller, and more hopeful once they were willing to take the first step toward healing.  
    This urgent and timely book presents the stories of the therapeutic work that occurs in Meadows' facilities, recognizing that trauma is most often the underlying issue to people’s struggles. The groundbreaking work at The Meadows has been validated by the landmark Adverse Childhood Experience Study (ACEs) carried out by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the past twenty-five years. These studies repetitively demonstrate the relationship of various traumas to mental health, substance abuse, and behavioral healthcare problems.
