  Hitler's Banker

  Jean-François Bouchard

  1932. The economic crisis in Germany was unprecedented—a severe recession, 6 million unemployed, and a collapse in the popularity of Chancellor Brüning, who was criticized for his lack of foresight and who stubbornly focused on a single objective—reducing public deficits and restoring the state's finances under pressure from other European countries. All the while far-right parties, which would soon take power, were experiencing an irrepressible rise.
  How can one not be struck by the similarity between the economic and political situation in Germany in 1932 and that of some Western countries in 2022?
  In a fictionalized biography tracing the astonishing career of Hjalmar Schacht, a German financial genius of the last century, Jean-François Bouchard indirectly highlights the interest in drawing inspiration from the economic methods that worked at that time. With this perspective, the current economic situation does not seem to be without a solution.
  It was the end of unemployment that became the factor of social stabilization for Adolf Hitler, and of consolidation of his power and of military hegemony. In this regard, sadly, the incredible story of Hjalmar Schacht is the most painful demonstration of this process.

  On the Cannibals

  'I am not sorry we note the barbarous horror of cannibalism, but grieved that, prying so narrowly into their faults, we are so blinded in ours.'
  
  First translated into English in 1603, 'On the Cannibals' is an essay reflecting on a remarkable trip to Brazil which Michel de Montaigne undertook at the end of the sixteenth century.
  
  A study into the customs and practices of indigenous peoples in the Americas, Montaigne delves into the concept of 'civilisation', contrasting the behaviour of so-called 'barbarians' with Western society. He challenges the idea that European values are superior, understanding the practices of the Tupinambá people and arguing that the horrors inflicted by the soldiers of Portugal on their enemies at the time are – in many ways – far worse. It remains a persuasive and compelling argument for cultural relativism. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Malk Williams.
  Michael de Montaigne (1533 – 1592) was a French philosopher and writer, and a significant figure in the French Renaissance. He is widely known for popularising the essay, amalgamating anecdotes with memoir and intellect. He has been a huge influence on several Western writers, including William Shakespeare.

  Selflessness - The Altruistic Heart

  Selflessness is a concept that transcends simple acts of kindness and touches on the very core of what it means to live in a community. It is the quality of being more concerned with the needs and well-being of others than with one’s own desires or ambitions. At its heart, selflessness is about recognizing the interconnectedness of humanity and acting in ways that foster compassion, understanding, and support among individuals. This chapter explores the many dimensions of selflessness, from its philosophical roots to its everyday manifestations in the lives of those who choose to put others first. 
  Historically, selflessness has been celebrated in various cultures and traditions. Many religious and spiritual teachings emphasize the importance of altruistic behavior, often framing it as a path to personal growth and enlightenment. In these traditions, selflessness is not merely a moral duty but a transformative journey that leads to a deeper connection with the universe and with fellow human beings. The idea that one can find fulfillment through acts of service rather than the pursuit of personal gain is a recurring theme in texts and teachings from around the world. 
  In a more modern context, selflessness is understood as both an individual virtue and a social necessity. In today’s fast-paced, competitive society, the act of prioritizing others can sometimes be seen as counterintuitive. However, when individuals choose to put aside their own interests for the benefit of others, they contribute to a more compassionate and resilient community. Whether it is through small gestures of kindness or significant sacrifices made in times of crisis, the impact of selflessness is profound. It can inspire trust, build stronger relationships, and create a ripple effect that encourages further acts of altruism.
