Sinopsis

Roman Collapse explores the complex reasons behind the fall of the Roman Empire, moving beyond simple explanations to offer a nuanced view of this pivotal moment in World History. The book emphasizes the interconnectedness of economic struggles, barbarian invasions, and political instability as key factors in the Roman decline. For example, the empire's reliance on slave labor created vulnerabilities in its agricultural system, while constant migration strained resources and military capabilities. This book challenges traditional narratives by presenting a holistic picture of how these elements gradually eroded the empire's foundations, moving beyond the idea of a single cause.

 
The book begins with a background on the Roman Empire at its height before delving into the internal weaknesses and external pressures that led to its demise. Examining economic decline, political turmoil, and barbarian migrations, the book uses archaeological evidence, legal codes, and contemporary accounts to provide a comprehensive analysis.

 
The book concludes by assessing the long-term consequences of the Roman collapse on the development of Europe, highlighting the rise of new kingdoms and the transformation of social structures. By understanding the interplay of these forces, readers gain valuable insights into the dynamics that can cause even the most powerful empires to crumble.

Dancing on Bones - History and...

Katie Stallard

History didn't end. Democracy didn't triumph. America’s leading role in the world is no longer assured. Instead, authoritarian rule is on the rise, and the global order established after 1945 is under attack. This is the phenomenon Katie Stallard tackles in Dancing on  
Bones as she examines how the leaders of China, Russia, and North Korea manipulate the past to serve the present and secure the future of authoritarian rule. 
 
Russia has annexed Crimea, started a war in eastern Ukraine, and repeatedly massed troops on its borders. China has stepped up war games near Taiwan and militarized the South China Sea, while North Korea has resumed missile testing and blood-curdling threats  
against the United States. These three states consistently top lists of threats to US and European security, and yet the leaders of all three insist that it is their country that is threatened, rewriting history and exploiting the memory of the wars of the last century to  
justify their actions and shore up popular support. Since coming to power, Xi Jinping has almost doubled the length of China’s World War II, Vladimir Putin has elevated the memory of the Great Patriotic War to the status of a national religion, and Kim Jong Un has invested  
vast sums in rebuilding war museums in his impoverished state, while those who try to challenge the official version of history are silenced and jailed. But this didn’t start with Putin, Xi, and Kim, and it won’t end with them. 
 
Drawing on first-hand, on-the-ground reporting, Dancing on Bones argues that if we want to understand where these three nuclear powers are heading, we must understand the stories they are telling their citizens about the past.

Emerging Domestic Markets - How...

Gregory Fairchild

The term "emerging market" refers to a country where incomes are currently low but that is likely to experience rapid growth and increasing economic competitiveness. Yet many of the characteristics of emerging markets—including demographic shifts, rising educational attainment, and growing urbanization—are also found closer to home, in communities that have been underserved by the existing financial-services system. 
 
 
 
Gregory Fairchild introduces listeners to the rising set of entrepreneurs whose efforts to reach marginalized groups are reshaping the emerging markets of the United States. He explores how minority-owned and community-development institutions are achieving innovations in consumer- and small-business-targeted financial services to further economic development and reduce inequality. He analyzes the models of these organizations, measures their successes and failures, and provides suggestions for sustainable growth of similar organizations. Bringing together quantitative research, powerful stories of real-world entrepreneurs, and nuanced insights on public policy, Emerging Domestic Markets offers a vital set of prescriptions for inclusive financial development.

Doctor's In The: Treating...

Alan D. Weinberger, CJ Arlotta

About the Book 
Many have compared the “Roaring Twenties” from the last century, to the 2020s of the 21st century. The new freedoms of this era (similar to 100 years ago) have caused disruptions, mainly as the Internet ‘flattens’ our world and accelerates outcomes that can be felt around the globe. One certainty, no matter how the new economic, political, and social structures will evolve, is the appearance of bad actors that will continue to use cyber warfare and cyber insecurity to their benefit. This book details in an easy-to-read format how we can best protect our “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” in our new digital age.
