  Life In The Pits - My Time as a...

  In 1989, Brad Schaeffer was working as an artist when his trader brother invited him to visit the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Schaeffer promptly quit his job and became a clerk in that most iconic arena of raw capitalism. During the next six years, Schaeffer rose from clerk to trader, making markets on Eurodollar options in Chicago and heating oil options in New York. In that time, jammed literally shoulder-to-shoulder, he screamed, flailed his arms, hurled expletives, and pushed and shoved his way through his day. 
   
   
   
  In Life in the Pits, Schaeffer recalls the uneasy camaraderie of working right next to fierce competitors, the sheer intensity of dealing in stacks of money changing hands with a simple scream or hand signal, and the hijinks, excesses, and collection of characters as colorful as the jackets they wore, giving the listener an intimate look into what life was like down in the financial mosh pits. 
   
   
   
  A worthy successor to Liar's Poker and Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Life in the Pits offers nuggets of wisdom on what makes a successful trader and the rules all must follow to survive in such an unforgiving environment. Schaeffer's often hilarious, yet sometimes profound, reflections take us on his personal journey from penniless artist to moving millions of dollars' worth of commodities in the blink of an eye.

  The Feudal System - How Lords...

  Feudalism was a dominant social, economic, and political system in medieval Europe that shaped the lives of millions from the 9th to the 15th centuries. Rooted in the decline of the Roman Empire, it emerged as a response to the need for local defense, stability, and order. With the fall of centralized authority, particularly in the wake of the collapse of Roman imperial power, local leaders, and warriors filled the vacuum, giving rise to a new hierarchical structure that became the backbone of medieval society. 
  At the heart of feudalism was the relationship between lords and vassals, defined by a system of land ownership and mutual obligations. The land, or fief, was the most valuable asset in the feudal system. Lords, or landowners, granted portions of their land to vassals, typically in exchange for military service, loyalty, and other obligations. In return for this land, vassals swore an oath of fealty to their lord, pledging to serve him in times of war, provide counsel, and honor the lord’s authority. This bond was often formalized through ceremonies that emphasized loyalty and trust, making feudalism not just a legal arrangement but a deeply personal relationship. 
  In addition to the lord-vassal dynamic, serfs and peasants formed the labor force that sustained the feudal economy. While lords and vassals fought battles and governed lands, serfs worked the fields and managed agriculture, which was the primary source of wealth in the medieval world. Unlike slaves, serfs were bound to the land, unable to leave without their lord’s permission. In exchange for protection and the right to work the land, serfs provided a portion of their crops and other goods as rent.
