Sinopse

In "Eighteenth Century Waifs," John Ashton delves into the fraught societal landscapes of the 1700s, portraying the precarious lives of those marginally existing within the cultural framework of the time. Ashton's literary style, characterized by a blend of vivid narrative and acute historical analysis, evokes a rich tapestry of characters and their often tragic circumstances. Drawing on extensive primary sources, he explores themes of abandonment, identity, and resilience, set against the backdrop of rapid societal change and economic turmoil that marked the age of Enlightenment and the early Industrial Revolution. John Ashton was a prominent folklorist and scholar of the Victorian era, whose fascination with the cultural undercurrents of history significantly influenced his writing. His extensive research on the lives of the less fortunate in society reflects a keen awareness of the socio-political dynamics that shaped human experiences, compelling him to shed light on the 'waifs' of the eighteenth century. Ashton's ability to weave narrative with scholarly rigor offers readers an introspective look into a time often romanticized yet filled with strife. This meticulously crafted work is recommended for readers interested in the interplay between history and literature, offering a piercing insight into the overlooked narratives of the past. Ashton's "Eighteenth Century Waifs" not only serves as a historical account but also invites contemporary reflections on identity and the human condition, making it a must-read for scholars and casual readers alike.

    In this age of technology and modernization, everything becomes available online. You can easily transact business with someone you haven’t even met and are likely to remain strangers forever. Even dating online became a commonly accepted way of searching and establishing relationships with someone you do not know. So it is for these reasons why some people fall victim to coning, deceptions, and betrayals. 
    In instances when you are dealing with unscrupulous individuals – online or offline, having the skill to read and interpret body language is essential. Not only would it give you the awareness and insight on the kind of individual that you are dealing with, but it also teaches you on how to conduct the right behavior to keep you out of danger. 
    Body language embraces a wide range of nonverbal communications, including voice, tones, and pitch. So even when you have no chance of seeing that individual in person or through video facilities, you can still detect signals and cues that will give you information related to his behavior and personality even without seeing them. 
    So, before you fall victim to a con artist or get engaged in any fraudulent transaction, learn and master the art of body language. 
    This book will tell you how much you want to know about a person’s behavior, characteristics, personality, and psychology.

    An approach to reinvigorating economic competition that doesn’t break up corporate giants, but compels them to share their technology, data, and knowledge 
      
    “Bessen is a master of unpacking the nuances of a complex array of interrelated trends to build a coherent story of how the promise of the democratized Internet ended up under the control of just a few. Read The New Goliaths to see how the forest came to have only room for a few tall trees with the rest of us in the undergrowth.”—Joshua Gans, coauthor of Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence 
      
    Historically, competition has powered progress under capitalism. Companies with productive new products rise to the top, but sooner or later, competitors come along with better innovations and disrupt the threat of monopoly. Dominant firms like Walmart, Amazon, and Google argue that this process of “creative destruction” prevents them from becoming too powerful or entrenched. 
      
    But the threat of competition has sharply decreased over the past twenty years, and today’s corporate giants have come to power by using proprietary information technologies to create a tilted playing field. This development has increased economic inequality and social division, slowed innovation, and allowed dominant firms to evade government regulation. In the face of increasing calls to break up the largest companies, James Bessen argues that a better way to restore competitive balance and dynamism is to encourage or compel these companies to share technology, data, and knowledge.
