Summary

"The End of Gold" explores the fascinating history of the gold standard's decline and its lasting effects on the global financial system. The book investigates why nations abandoned gold-backed currencies, leading to a reshaping of monetary policies and international trade. One intriguing aspect is how the shift from the gold standard, intended for economic flexibility, paradoxically introduced unprecedented financial complexity and instability. This transition demanded new economic management approaches and greater international cooperation.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, first establishing the historical context of the gold standard, tracing its origins and perceived benefits, and then examining the factors that undermined it, such as economic pressures and the rise of Keynesian economics. Finally, it explores the post-gold standard era, delving into the rise of fiat currencies and increased global market interconnectedness.

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the long-term consequences of abandoning the gold standard, examining its enduring impact on financial stability, economic inequality, and international power dynamics. It employs historical sources and economic analysis to provide a nuanced account of this pivotal shift in economic history.

The Demon in the Machine - How...

Paul Davies

What is life? For generations, scientists have struggled to make sense of this fundamental question, for life really does look like magic: even a humble bacterium accomplishes things so dazzling that no human engineer can match it. Huge advances in molecular biology over the past few decades have served only to deepen the mystery. 
 
 
 
In this penetrating and wide-ranging book, world-renowned physicist and science communicator Paul Davies searches for answers in a field so new and fast-moving that it lacks a name; it is a domain where biology, computing, logic, chemistry, quantum physics, and nanotechnology intersect. At the heart of these diverse fields, Davies explains, is the concept of information: a quantity which has the power to unify biology with physics, transform technology and medicine, and force us to fundamentally reconsider what it means to be alive—even illuminating the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe. 
 
 
 
The Demon in the Machine journeys across an astounding landscape of cutting-edge science. Weaving together cancer and consciousness, two-headed worms and bird navigation, Davies reveals how biological organisms garner and process information to conjure order out of chaos, opening a window onto the secret of life itself.

Hypnosis to Build the Life You...

Be Conscious Creators

Rewire Your Mindset And Get Fast Results With Hypnosis!

The advantages of hypnosis therapy are widespread. A lot of individuals report positive changes with hypnosis and it's recognized as a valid type of holistic alternative medicine.

Hypnosis is a popular technique utilized for weight loss, overcoming addiction, healing, achieving goals, relaxation and stress relief. It's utilized to get rid of undesired behaviors and beliefs and to manifest new desires and achieve goals in life.
If you wish to influence your subconscious mind to accept new programming for positive alterations hypnosis is an effective technique for doing that.

Among the chief advantages of hypnosis is that when you in a hypnotic state brain wave frequencies decelerate. You center or focus your awareness and you're actually much more aware than usual. A state of centered awareness almost feels as though you're more of an observer of thought and images rather than a part of them. This allows you to bypass the "gatekeepers" at the entrance to the subconscious and superconscious so you are able to access these levels of consciousness directly, and the brain is much more receptive to suggestion.

The unconscious, or subconscious may then be reprogrammed so it lets go of old patterns, beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you. They may be replaced with suggestions that are favorable and affirming. The superconscious mind may open you into fresh insights and originative ideas.

A common misperception is that you only have to be hypnotized once to make lasting changes. Occasionally this is the case, but for lasting positive changes, hypnosis suggestions need to be repeated several times till your mind accepts the new programming.

You'll need to enter hypnosis and listen to your audio multiple times. Don't expect that one session will set up and run your new programs.

Put this audio on each night before you go to bed and listen to it right before you fall asleep. If you have time also listen to it first thing upon waking. Do this for at least 21 days consistently so that positive change can take affect in your life.

History of England from the...

Thomas Babington Macaulay

This is chapter 1 of volume 1 of a series of books written by the Baron Macaulay in the 19th century. It starts with a brief resume of the history of England up until the Stuart kings and then starts to delve into a little more detail. Macaulay is primarily fascinated by ending of any claim to divine right of kings and the growing role of Parliament in the governing of the country. He sees the accession of William and Mary (Dutch, Protestant royalty) to the British throne as a key moment in the history of the British Isles. This is a book delightful for the literary gifts of the author and intriguing for his view of 18th century English and world politics.(Summary by Jim Mowatt)
