Beschreibung

Global Trade Shrinks dissects the drastic decline in global trade during the early 1930s, an economic crisis that precipitated the Great Depression. The book explores the intricate dynamics of international economics and world history, revealing how factors like protectionism and the instability of the gold standard contributed to a near two-thirds reduction in global commerce.

 
Understanding this trade collapse is crucial, as it highlights the fragility of the global economy and the potential for similar crises in the future. This book uniquely emphasizes policy missteps, such as "beggar-thy-neighbor" approaches, rather than solely blaming the stock market crash. For instance, the rise in protectionist trade policies exacerbated the crisis, demonstrating how interconnected the global economy truly was.

 
Analyzing data from the League of Nations and archival sources, the book progresses by first establishing the state of global trade in the 1920s, then examining the rise of protectionism and the instability of the gold standard, before concluding with lessons for policymakers today.

Hittites - History of the...

Kelly Mass

The Hittites were mentioned in the Bible. They were an Anatolian people that contributed to creating a kingdom in Kussara before 1750 BC, the Kanesh or Nesha kingdom between 1750 and 1650 BC, and finally an empire based upon Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around 1650 BC. Under uppiluliuma I, the empire reached its peak in the mid-14th century BC, when it ruled over much of Anatolia and areas of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia.Between the 15th and 13th centuries BC, the Hattusa Empire, also called the Hittite Empire, defended control of the Near East with the New Kingdom of Egypt, the Middle Assyrian Empire, and the Mitanni Empire. The Middle Assyrian Empire ultimately emerged as the dominant power, took much of the Hittite Empire, and ransacked the rest by Phrygian newbies to the area. The Hittites separated into numerous self-governing Syro-Hittite countries around c. 1180 BC, at the time of the Late Bronze Age collapse, some of which stayed till the 8th century BC before giving up to the Neo-Assyrian Empire.I urge you to learn more about this fascinating people from the ancient world.

The Emergence of I - How the...

John H. Payne

The universe wakes up through you. 
We see history as an unceasing flow of causality and time; an endless series of past events leading up to the present. We feel ourselves as the detached observers of it, somehow standing on the outside watching the world go by. But the truth is we’re not on the outside. We’re at the very center of it all. 
Interweaving history, mythology, psychology, and mystical experience, author John Payne charts the journey of I from its Paleolithic origins through the emergence of language and literacy, forward through the worldviews of the Greeks and Hebrews, and on to the present time. 
The premise of this book is that the Universe’s most sincere project is the creation of a self-reflection point called I. Climbing up out of the universe’s primordia using the rungs of matter, animal biology and cultural enterprises such as myth, religion, literacy and science, Consciousness has constricted itself to a place two inches behind your forehead. 
And it has been waiting for you to wake up.
