Sinopse

"Old Economic Insights" offers a fascinating exploration of how ancient economic practices and philosophical theories continue to shape modern financial thinking. Through meticulous analysis of primary sources from early Mesopotamian trading systems to Classical Greek philosophy, the book reveals how ancient civilizations developed sophisticated approaches to economic challenges that mirror contemporary issues.

 
The work particularly emphasizes the contributions of Aristotle, Xenophon, and Plato, whose insights on value, fair exchange, and resource management remain surprisingly relevant today. The book progresses through three distinct sections, beginning with early trading systems and monetary development, moving through Greek philosophical contributions to economic theory, and concluding with practical applications for modern challenges.

 
One of its most compelling revelations is how Aristotle's concepts of fair pricing and monetary theory parallel current microeconomic principles. Additionally, the book demonstrates how ancient societies independently developed similar solutions to economic problems across different Mediterranean and Near Eastern civilizations.

 
What sets this work apart is its unique cross-disciplinary approach, connecting economics with philosophy, politics, and social development. Written in an accessible academic style, it uses historical examples to illuminate complex economic concepts, making it valuable for both scholars and business professionals.

 
The book's examination of recovered merchant records, philosophical treatises, and legal documents provides concrete evidence that many modern economic theories are actually rediscoveries of principles well understood by ancient civilizations.

    Spirit Voices - The Mysteries...

    Provides a clear and accessible guide to the many different North Asian shamanic traditions, past and present. What is shamanism? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? What are the requirements to become one? Anthropologists tell us that the word shaman derives from the Tungus language and traditions, but few people understand the full scope of what that means. In his groundbreaking book, Spirit Voices, David Shi answers all these questions and more.   Drawing upon his own ancestral traditions, Shi explores the history and practice of shamanism. He guides readers through what may be the unfamiliar landscapes of North Asia—the place where shamanism was born—as well as the largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions of Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus shamanism, exploring the subtle and unique aspects of each tradition. Shi provides a clear and accessible guide that explores the many different North Asian shamanic traditions.    So, what exactly is shamanism? David Shi suggests that the most accurate definition derives from shamanologist Nicholas Breeze Wood, who writes, “A shaman is someone chosen by the spirits [typically at or before birth] and who can go into a controlled and repeatable deliberate trance state, during which they A) experience ‘spirit flight,’ where they go to the spirit worlds and meet spirits, who they either fight with, negotiate with, or trick, in order to create change in this physical world, or B) are often taken over/possessed by the spirits (normally ancestral shaman spirits, or local land spirits) while in this physical world—the spirits using the shaman’s voice and body to heal, or give advice to members of the shaman’s community. Without the spirits and their blessing, a shaman cannot exist or function. Without the trance state, it is not shamanism.”   Featuring history, firsthand experiential reports, mythology, and folklore, Spirit Voices explores the spirits, spirituality, tools, and practices of true shamanism, past and present. Shi also provides practical information for those readers seeking to implement shamanic practices, including those that are appropriate to noninitiates and outsiders to the culture. As the author points out, “the purpose of shamanism can be summed up in two words: coexistence and balance—coexistence with our spirits and our communities, and the balance that must be preserved between all of us and within ourselves.”

    In Unthinkable (2022), Jamie Raskin details two intensely traumatic events that he never expected: the suicide of his son Tommy, followed within a week by the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Although immensely different, these events became intertwined in the Democratic congressman’s psyche. Raskin was dead set on doing his best to impeach Donald Trump and preserve democracy. He felt like he owed it to Tommy, who had lived a life filled with compassion and egalitarian ideals despite having to battle his inner demons.
