Sinossi

Spanish Gold Decline offers a compelling analysis of how Spain's Golden Age was paradoxically undermined by its vast colonial wealth. The book argues that the influx of gold and silver from the Americas triggered hyperinflation, rendering Spanish goods uncompetitive and hindering domestic industry. The Spanish crown's reliance on colonial riches also disincentivized crucial economic reforms. The book reveals that Spain's economic decline was not inevitable but stemmed from specific policy choices and vulnerabilities exacerbated by colonial wealth.

The book meticulously examines the inflationary impact of colonial wealth, tracing price fluctuations and wage stagnation. It further investigates the decline of Spanish industry and agriculture due to cheap imports, as well as the Crown's fiscal policies and dependence on colonial revenue. By integrating quantitative data with qualitative analyses, Spanish Gold Decline challenges traditional narratives of Spain's Golden Age and offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of economic development and the resource curse.

Structured chronologically, the book begins by establishing the historical backdrop of Spain's ascent and its acquisition of American colonies. Subsequent chapters delve into the mechanisms by which colonial wealth influenced the Spanish economy, culminating in an illustration of how Spain's economic downturn resulted from policy decisions and structural weaknesses intensified by colonial wealth. This approach provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of Spain's economic trajectory during this pivotal period.

The Shame Complex

Brittany Forrester

Shame is a notoriously unpleasant emotion that almost all of us have experienced at least once in our lifetimes. Almost everyone knows what the feeling of shame is like. However, we are reluctant to disclose our shameful experiences. It is often mentioned that shame is a taboo subject. Ironically, we are ashamed of our shame. It seems much easier to say ‚I am angry/sad/nervous? than to say ‚I am sorry.” Rather than finding it liberating, there is an assumption that talking about shame is demeaning or a sign of weakness. Therefore, until recently, there has been a shortage of research, understanding, and knowledge about shame to the extent that shame and similar emotions, such as guilt, are used interchangeably in the literature. Since shame appears present in a wide variety of psychological disorders and is associated with mental health problems such as depression, social phobia, and eating disorders, it is necessary to extend our knowledge in this area and become well-equipped to deal with it their shame. The current shame theorists suggest shame is one of the so-called self-conscious emotions because it mainly involves evaluating the self. A scandal is believed to be an incapacitating emotion accompanied by the feeling of being small, inferior, and shrinking. The self, as a whole, is devalued and considered to be inadequate, incompetent, and worthless. Shame might also involve being exposed, condemned, and ridiculed.Unlike basic emotions, shame does not seem to have distinctive universal facial expressions. It is not experienced similarly in different cultures. Emotions such as shame, pride, guilt, embarrassment, envy, empathy, and jealousy are associated with a sense of self and self-awareness; hence, they belong to a family of self-conscious emotions. To experience shame, individuals need the ability to form self-representations, internalize external values, and compare and evaluate themselves. Therefore, guilt is not experienced in species with lower cognitiv

American Apocalypse - The Six...

Rena Steinzor

The war on American democracy is at a fever pitch. Such a corrosive state of affairs did not arise spontaneously but instead was pushed, top-down, by six private sector special interest groups. In American Apocalypse Rena Steinzor argues that these groups are nothing more than well-financed armies fighting a battle of attrition against the national government. 
 
 
 
The book begins at the end of Lyndon Johnson's presidency, when the modern regulatory state was born. Agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration ensured that everything from our air to our medicine was safe. But efforts to thwart this "big government" agenda began swiftly. Business leaders built a multi-billion dollar presence in the Capitol, and the rest of the six interest groups followed. While the groups do not coordinate their attacks, their priorities fall within a tight bullseye. Over the long-term, as the prevalence of global pandemics and climate crises increase, an incapacitated national government will usher in unimaginable harm. 
 
 
 
This book is the first to conceptualize these groups together, as one deconstructive, awe-inspiring force. Steinzor delves into their histories, mapping strategies, tactics, and characteristics that make them so powerful.  She offers a comprehensive story about the downfall of American democracy.
