  Promise to Pay - The Politics...

  An incisive account of the crucial role money played in the formation and development of British North America. Promise to Pay follows America’s first paper money—the “bills of credit” of British North America—from its seventeenth-century origins as a means of war finance to its pivotal role in catalyzing the American Revolution. Katie A. Moore combs through treasury records, account books, and the bills themselves to tell a new story of money’s origins that challenges economic orthodoxy and mainstream histories. Promise to Pay shows how colonial governments imposed paper bills on settler communities through existing labor and kinship relations, their value secured by thousands of individual claims on the public purse—debts—and the state’s promise to take them back as payment for taxes owed. Born into a world of hierarchy and deference, early American money eroded old social ties and created new asymmetries of power, functioning simultaneously as a ticket to the world of goods, a lifeline for those on the margins, and a tool of imperial domination.Grounded in sustained engagement with scholarship from multiple disciplines, Promise to Pay breathes new life into old debates and offers an incisive account of the centrality of money in the politics and conflicts of empire, community, and everyday life.

  The Economy of Rome - Trade...

  The Roman economy was built upon a complex and interdependent system that evolved from its agrarian roots into a vast network of trade, production, and commerce. From the early Republic to the height of the Empire, Rome’s economic foundation was shaped by its reliance on agriculture, slave labor, and a structured monetary system. These key components allowed the Roman state to sustain its military conquests, support its urban populations, and facilitate long-distance trade across the Mediterranean and beyond. 
  Agriculture served as the backbone of the Roman economy, with the majority of the population engaged in farming. Small-scale subsistence farming dominated early Roman society, but as the Republic expanded, wealthy landowners acquired vast estates known as latifundia. These estates were worked by slaves and tenant farmers, producing surplus crops such as wheat, olives, and grapes, which were essential to both local consumption and trade. The shift from independent farming to large-scale agricultural estates increased economic disparities but also enabled Rome to support a growing urban population and supply its armies. 
  Slavery played a crucial role in sustaining the Roman economy. Enslaved people were not only laborers in agriculture but also worked in mines, workshops, and domestic households. The steady influx of slaves, primarily through military conquests, allowed Rome to maintain high levels of production and economic growth. The reliance on slave labor, however, also created structural weaknesses, as the economy was dependent on a continuous supply of enslaved workers, making it vulnerable during times of military decline.

  The Leadership Attitude -...

  Speak Your Truth in BusinessGlobalization in business is about expanding your reach by getting your products out there. But products don't sell themselves, people do that. If you want to do business globally, you have to be able to work with different cultures. Beyond that, you must be able to understand the person and their behaviors, their energies. To really make teams work, you must get down below the skin level to the behaviors that drive people. As a leader, that means more than just listening with your ears, you must also listen with your heart—a crucial element when reimagining the workplace in a virtual world where true human connections are difficult, if not impossible, to make. You must also inspire your team, those informal leaders who have no authority but who know how to influence by understanding and connecting with people.In The Leadership Attitude: Inspiring Success through Authenticity and Passion, author Deborah E. McGee shares her evolution of leadership from one who led solely from her head, letting only logic and facts guide decisions, to one who now knows how to lead with the heart. That means stepping back and learning to trust others to lead because there are a lot of good ideas out there. It also means being a leader of faith, one who is not afraid to speak openly about her Christian faith and leading as Christ would lead.
