  Life After Capitalism - The...

  For over two-hundred years, capitalist systems have overtaken the global economy, spreading near-universal growth and opening the floodgates for limitless human potential. 
   
   
   
  Yet something is going terribly wrong in the world economy. 
   
   
   
  Creativity and faith in the future have been traded for a slippery slope of cautionary paranoia, popular despair, and political overreach by leaders who promise to hold back the tides, control the weather, and print prosperity with little clue as to what is actually going on. 
   
   
   
  This divergence did not begin with the Obama administration, the Trump presidency, the Gates Foundation, or George Soros, says leading futurist George Gilder. The cognitive dissonance and its harvest of confusion and despair reflects a deep misunderstanding at the heart of capitalism itself. 
   
   
   
  In Life After Capitalism, national bestselling author George Gilder explains how economics is not an incentive system but an information system. Redefining capitalism for the modern age, he reveals how free enterprise is a mind driven system, material resources are essentially as infinite as atoms, and what governs economic growth is human creativity—not merely a Marxist class struggle for power.

  Why Taiwan Matters - A Short...

  This program is read by the author.Taiwan expert Kerry Brown sums up the history of Taiwan and the danger of a Chinese takeover in this succinct and authoritative book.When the bloody Chinese Civil War concluded in 1949, two Chinas were born. Mao’s Communists won and took China’s mainland; Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists fled to Taiwan island. Since then, China and Taiwan have drifted into being separate political and cultural entities.Taiwan is now a flourishing democracy and an economic success story: just one of its companies produces over 90 per cent of the semiconductors that power the world’s economy. It is a free and vibrant society. For the United States and the West, the island is a bastion of freedom against China’s assertive presence in the region. And yet China, increasingly bellicose under Xi Jinping, insists Taiwan is part of its territory and must be returned to it. Should China blockade the island and mount an invasion, it would set off a chain reaction that would pitch it against the US – escalating a regional war into a global one. Taiwan is thus a geopolitical powder keg.Why Taiwan Matters helps us understand how and why we’ve arrived at this dangerous moment in history. With unparalleled access to Taiwan’s political leaders and a deep understanding of the island’s history and culture, Professor Kerry Brown provides a new reading of Taiwan, its twenty-three million people, and how they navigate being caught in this frightening geopolitical standoff. Why Taiwan Matters is the essential audiobook for understanding Taiwan’s unique story told in an accessible, expert and urgent way.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Confront the hidden costs of ambition that success culture never mentions while driving you toward achievements that may destroy what matters most. This sobering audiobook examines the physical health consequences, relationship damage, psychological toll, and spiritual emptiness that ambitious pursuit often creates. Learn why driven people frequently achieve their goals only to discover the price was far higher than the reward, a realization that comes too late to undo the damage. The narrator presents research on executive burnout, successful people who regret their choices, and the hedonic treadmill that keeps ambitious individuals perpetually unsatisfied regardless of achievement. Discover how ambition becomes addiction, using the same neurological pathways as substances while society celebrates rather than treats the condition. Understand the opportunity costs of intense career focus, including missed childhood moments, neglected friendships, and postponed living that can never be recovered. This audiobook challenges cultural narratives glorifying hustle, grind, and relentless pursuit while offering alternative frameworks for meaningful success. Learn to recognize when ambition serves your genuine wellbeing versus when it operates as compensatory behavior masking deeper needs. Essential listening for driven professionals questioning whether their path leads where they truly want to go, and anyone seeking balance between achievement and fulfillment.

  The Path of Prosperity

  Summary from The Path of Prosperity:I looked around upon the world, and saw that it was shadowed by sorrow and scorched by the fierce fires of suffering. And I looked for the cause. I looked around, but could not find it; I looked in books, but could not find it; I looked within, and found there both the cause and the self-made nature of that cause. I looked again, and deeper, and found the remedy.I found one Law, the Law of Love; one Life, the Life of adjustment to that Law; one Truth, the truth of a conquered mind and a quiet and obedient heart. And I dreamed of writing a book which should help men and women, whether rich or poor, learned or unlearned, worldly or unworldly, to find within themselves the source of all success, all happiness, all accomplishment, all truth. And the dream remained with me, and at last became substantial; and now I send it forth into the world on its mission of healing and blessedness, knowing that it cannot fail to reach the homes and hearts of those who are waiting and ready to receive it.
