Robinson Crusoe's Money - The Remarkable Financial Fortunes and Misfortunes of a Remote Island Community

David Ames Wells

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

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.

Environmental Destruction - The...

Marcus Kline

This book contains two titles, which are: 
· Deforestation: Forests are among the Earth’s most precious resources, spanning vast landscapes and serving as critical lifelines for countless species, including humanity. Their towering trees and dense undergrowth form a complex ecosystem that sustains biodiversity, provides essential resources, and regulates the natural processes that make life possible. Yet, beneath this quiet resilience, forests face an ongoing crisis. The relentless clearing of these vital ecosystems, known as deforestation, has become one of the greatest threats to our planet’s delicate balance.  
· Pollution: Pollution is a pervasive and urgent global issue that affects every corner of the planet, from the air we breathe to the water we drink and the land we depend on for survival. Over the past century, the rapid pace of industrialization, urbanization, and population growth has contributed significantly to environmental degradation. What was once seen as the price of progress has now become a formidable challenge that threatens the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems alike.

The Case for Culture - How to...

Eric Farber

Most lawyers don’t set out to be business owners. They become business owners when they open their own law firm, and from that point forward, their work tends to become disconnected and chaotic. They’re so busy with HR, bookkeeping, and marketing that they’re lucky to have twenty minutes a day to work on cases. Many lawyers are drowning, which contributes to the profession’s unsettling levels of alcoholism, drug addiction, and depression. 
Eric Farber knows what it feels like to be, as he puts it, “running in scarcity.” He did it for years before discovering the secret to turning things around: putting culture first. 
In The Case for Culture, Eric gives lawyers the wisdom and tools they need to transform themselves and their culture. By creating a community of people and rallying them around a shared mission, you’ll build a law practice that will take care of you, not the other way around. If you want to grow your practice and be happy, it starts with culture.
