Sinopsis

Spanning centuries of evolution, "History of Finance: From the Origins of Stock Exchanges to Modern Financial Systems" explores in depth the development of world finance, from the earliest forms of exchange and trade to the era of cryptocurrencies and decentralised finance. This book offers a detailed analysis of how the financial system has transformed, coping with crises, adapting to technological changes and shaping the global economy.Divided into ten chapters, the text begins with an exploration of the first stock exchanges, analysing how they were born and grew in global financial centres such as Amsterdam, London and New York. Each historical phase is treated carefully, focusing on key moments such as the Great Depression, the financial crises of recent decades and the technological revolutions that changed the face of finance.With the advent of technology, finance has seen the emergence of blockchain, digital currencies and decentralised finance (DeFi). The book delves into the mechanisms of these new instruments, examining their impact on traditional markets, regulations and consumer habits. Special attention is paid to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), the role of stablecoins, and the rise of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) as new forms of digital ownership.In addition to covering traditional financial topics, the text looks at the future of finance, exploring emerging opportunities related to asset tokenization, metaverse markets and the expansion of decentralised governance through DAOs. Through an accessible yet technical narrative, the book explores how modern technologies are redefining finance, creating a more inclusive and transparent system.The reader will be guided through the main concepts of economics and finance, understanding how economic crises have influenced reforms and how new technologies are paving the way for a new global financial paradigm.

    What is Critical Race Theory? 
     
     
     
    It may be one of the most widely referenced issues of the day, but it's also one of the least understood. In its translation from the academic world to the general public, Critical Race Theory (CRT) has inaccurately become a catch-all term for anything related to race. But what does it actually mean, and how should Christians engage it? 
     
     
     
    Ed Uszynski—whose PhD in American culture studies navigated readings in Marxism, Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory—carefully unpacks what critical race theorists seek to accomplish and what Christians can learn from them. Uszynski generously explores CRT's roots, context, and central tenets, revealing how its insights are used and distorted but also how they might benefit the church. With responsible answers to legitimate concerns, Uszynski goes beyond the surface to provide a reliable path of just discernment and cultural engagement.

    One of the most important and memorable events of the United States’ westward push across the frontier came with the discovery of gold in the lands that became California in January 1848. Located thousands of miles away from the country’s power centers on the east coast at the time, the announcement came a month before the Mexican-American War had ended, and among the very few Americans that were near the region at the time, many of them were Army soldiers who were participating in the war and garrisoned there. San Francisco was still best known for being a Spanish military and missionary outpost during the colonial era, and only a few hundred called it home. Mexico’s independence, and its possession of those lands, had come only a generation earlier. 
    The flow of Chinese immigrants increased dramatically in 1852, sparked in large part by a crop failure in southern China that caused the custom houses in San Francisco to swell with 20,026 Chinese arrivals. Even more Chinese came as news reached China about the apparent ease of mining in California. By the end of the decade, ⅕ of the population of the Southern Mines consisted of Chinese miners. Chinese miners would become known as the most industrious and tireless of the miners, finding gold in claims that previous owners had thought depleted and persisting in mining an area far longer than others who eventually left the fields altogether. 
    In many ways, this represented the start of an influx of immigrants coming from Asia to the United States, kicking off an often turbulent relationship and history that would lead to alienation, conflicts, immigration quotas, and more. This book looks at that history from the start, and how it affected those who came from Asia in the 19th century.

    The overturning of Roe V. Wade will have long-term and indelible consequences on American society. 
    The purpose of this book is to be part of the on-going conversations. 
    Perfect or not, Roe was working for America. Consequently, it did not need to be “fixed”. 
    The ignorance of attempting to fix it when the ramifications were unknown, has resulted in chaos, confusion, inconvenience and trauma for women who need abortions. In many cases viability of the embryo dictates an abortion. 
    Also important is the fact that medical decisions were taken out of the hands of physicians. That is a “No, no”! 
    The book also addresses the issue of poor ethics in the Supreme Court as this was also a factor in overturning Roe, as was arrogance.
