Summary

Durch Kulturbegegnung, internationalen Wissenschaftsaustausch und interkulturelle Vergleiche sind Grenzen nationaler und westlicher Forschungsansätze deutlich geworden. In diesem Buch werden Beispiele für nachhaltige Wirkungen einer unkonventionellen Wissenschaftsförderung durch weitsichtiges Unternehmer- und Mäzenatentum vorgestellt.  Deutsche und japanische Wissenschaftler behandeln in rechtswissenschaftlichen, soziologischen, historischen und psychologischen Beiträgen die kulturellen Bedingungen und Besonderheiten von Lebensqualität, Zufriedenheit und Glück. Sie zeigen, wie wirtschaftliches Handeln über ökonomische Interessen hinaus mit zivilgesellschaftlichem Engagement verbunden wird oder Wissenschaft wiederum auch durch ökonomische Interessen beeinträchtigt werden kann.
Available since: 02/18/2015.

    Watchdog - How Protecting...

    Every day across America, consumers face issues with credit cards, mortgages, car loans, and student loans. When they are cheated or mistreated, all too often they hit a brick wall against the financial companies. People are fed up with being run over by big corporations, and few have the resources or expertise to fight back on their own.It is no wonder consumers feel powerless: they are outgunned every step of the way. Since 1970, the financial industry has doubled in size. It is the biggest source of campaign contributions to federal candidates and parties, spending about $1 billion annually on campaigns and another $500 million on lobbying. The four biggest banks each now has more than $1 trillion in assets. Financial products have become a mass of fine print that consumers can hardly even read, let alone understand.Growing problems in the increasingly one-sided finance markets blew up the economy in 2008. In the aftermath, Congress created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Sharing the stories of individual consumers, Watchdog shows how the Bureau quickly became a powerful force for good, suing big banks for cheating or deceiving consumers, putting limits on predatory lenders, simplifying mortgage paperwork, and stepping in to help solve problems raised by individual consumers.

The massive landscape of altcoins and the groundbreaking phenomenon of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are explored in this comprehensive e-book as we set off on a voyage into the exciting world of cryptocurrencies. Digital assets have emerged as one of the most innovative developments of our time, capturing the interest of investors, technologists, and enthusiasts worldwide as the global financial ecosystem continues to undergo fundamental shifts.

With his groundbreaking invention, Satoshi Nakamoto revolutionized the way we think about money and transactions by laying the groundwork for a peer-to-peer, decentralized digital currency. Since then, many alternative cryptocurrencies, or "altcoins," have appeared, each with unique characteristics and applications. In this e-book, we dig into the intriguing world of alternative coins, analyzing how they work and whether they can disrupt conventional finance.

    Bohm tells us why science has become specialized and fragmented at the cost of its soul. He describes his theory of “implicate order” and its implications for human consciousness. He observes that thought is based in memory but true creativity depends on getting beyond the thought process.
