Sinossi

What is money really? Where does its power come from? And what does its future hold?“History of Money” is a fascinating and rigorous journey through the evolution of one of the most influential tools in human history. From the shells used in early tribal communities to the digital currencies of the 21st century, this essay explores the cultural, economic, political, and ethical transformations that have shaped money, showing how each form of currency reflects a specific worldview.Organized into 20 thematic chapters, the book interweaves historical analysis, philosophical reflections, concrete examples, and future scenarios, guiding the reader through a narrative that is at once informative, profound, and accessible. Key milestones are explored: the invention of metal money, the birth of banks, the debt economy, cryptocurrencies, ethical finance, social currencies, and the emerging concept of the relationship economy.But this book is not just a story of the past: it is also a call to rethink money today. It asks us what values it conveys, what dynamics it obeys, and what possibilities it can open up for us. It is a work that challenges the reader to imagine a new monetary paradigm that is more equitable, sustainable, and humane.“The History of Money” is a book for anyone who wants to better understand how the world works—and how it could work differently.

    Beginning in the 1970s, several scientific breakthroughs promised to transform the creation of new medicines. As investors sought to capitalize on these Nobel Prize-winning discoveries, the biotech industry grew to thousands of small companies around the world. Each sought to emulate what the major pharmaceutical companies had been doing for a century or more, but without the advantages of scale, scope, experience, and massive resources. 
     
     
     
    Biotech companies have met the challenge by creating nearly 40% more of the most important treatments for previously unmet medical needs. Moreover, they have done so with much lower overall costs. 
     
     
     
    From Breakthrough to Blockbuster focuses on both the companies themselves and the broader biotech ecosystem that supports them. It paints a portrait of the crucial roles played by academic research, venture capital, contract research organizations, the capital markets, and pharmaceutical companies, demonstrating how a supportive environment enabled the entrepreneurial biotech industry to create novel medicines with unprecedented efficiency. In doing so, it also offers insights for any industry seeking to innovate in uncertain and ambiguous conditions.

    This is an introduction to The Tao of Human Interactions. 
    I decided to write this book because of the need for an effective system of managing and enhancing people's ability to communicate. Its applications span business as well as personal interactions. It can be a simple way of assessing the personalities of people around you and enabling you to better interact with them. I've played the role of an employee in middle management as well as upper management. One essential skill for any good manager is communication. It is important to be able to assess the people you are managing and also to be able to effectively deliver the correct messages. It is not only important to deliver the ideas, but it also needs to be done in a way that impacts the audience correctly. An effective manager must also assess and manage the emotional states of the people involved. I have spent a good part of my life working as an employee and in upper management and middle management. I have also consulted management for many different types of organizations in the public as well as the private sector. I have worked in specific industries such as transit, technology, public works, city government, the military, and hospitality. My approach has always been to try to create effective modes of interaction and communication between employees and middle management, as well as between management and upper management. 
    This book is concerned mostly with daily interactions at the employee level. The system and skills taught can be applied to any interaction in the business and personal life. Management systems are often well thought out and well structured, but quite often, they do not lend themselves to the chaotic, on-the-spot timber of human interactions. The Tao of Human Communications is a system rooted in present-moment fluid interactions.

    People often understand racism in terms of blatant, overtly hostile behaviors and attitudes. At work, however, racism often takes the form of microaggressions, being ignored, being invalidated or talked over, being overly criticized, or having assumptions made about your abilities. 
     
     
     
    You should not have to experience racism—and it is not your fault—but the unfortunate reality is that many Black people do, especially in their workplace. And once you muster the courage to say something, what do you say, and when do you say it? 
     
     
     
    This empowering workbook provides practical skills for navigating and responding to anti-Black racism in the workplace. You'll find solutions that work for you and your unique situation, as well as tips for addressing interpersonal issues, setting boundaries, and attending to your emotional and mental health. 
     
     
     
    Whether overt or covert, if you've experienced racism in the workplace, you may feel trapped in a dilemma. How should you respond to an incident of racism? 
     
     
     
    This workbook offers essential tools to help you make informed choices about how to respond to racism in the workplace, assert yourself with confidence, and prioritize your own well-being.

    'Local is Our Future' by Helena Norberg-Hodge connects the dots between our social, economic, ecological and spiritual crises, revealing how a systemic shift from global to local can address these seemingly disparate problems simultaneously. Distilling the wisdom gleaned from four decades of activism and direct experience in both the global North and South, Helena lucidly deconstructs the old narrative of 'progress' through technological advance and corporate growth, while presenting a concise and compelling case for economic localization. Her arguments are supported by real-world examples proving that – beneath the radar of the mainstream media and far from the fetishized techno-utopia of Silicon Valley – healthy and vibrant futures, built upon connection to nature and community, are already in the making.Endorsements:Bill McKibben' - There is no more important task than re-localizing our economies… And this book will tell you how it's done.'Charles Eisenstein - 'A potent conceptual lens… to reverse the ruin of culture, nature, and place.'David Suzuki - 'The argument for economic decentralization, powerfully and passionately presented in this fine book, is one that we can no longer ignore.'Judy Wicks - 'An essential guidebook, lighting the way towards economies of human and ecological wellbeing.'Iain McGilchrist - 'Localization…is the only hope for the future.
