Sinopse

"Cursed Crops" explores the history of agriculture through the lens of historical catastrophes, revealing how famines, plagues, and natural disasters have shaped global food systems. The book highlights the vulnerabilities inherent in our reliance on a few staple crops, demonstrating how this genetic uniformity can lead to widespread crises. For example, the Irish Potato Famine, caused by a single potato variety's susceptibility to disease, illustrates this precariousness. 

 
The book examines the biology of plant diseases, explaining how pathogens evolve and spread, often with devastating consequences for food supply and sustainability. It also addresses the role of climate change and other environmental factors in exacerbating agricultural crises. 

 
"Cursed Crops" uses an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from historical records, scientific studies, and epidemiological data. The book progresses by first establishing the historical context of agriculture, then detailing the genetic vulnerabilities of crops and the biology of plant diseases. It concludes by addressing the role of climate change and other environmental factors. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex factors that threaten our food systems and underscores the need for more sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.

    Recently, I learned about General Artificial Intelligence and the implications it will have in our lives. The array of opinions crosses the full spectrum from the wonderful ways it will improve our lives to the fear it could unleash a ‘Self-Controlled Superintelligence’ that may not align itself with human social and ethical constructs. This subject is fast moving rocket and it is important that everyone understands some key terms when it comes to Artificial Intelligence. Whether you know it or not, AI touches your lives today and in future, will increase exponentially as it exerts this massive influence in our lives. 
    In addition, being a student of Economics and Business, I always seek to refresh my knowledge of key terms in these areas. Economics, Business and Politics overlap a great deal in academia and in real-world applications. Artificial Intelligence will add for the better bringing the fields of Business, Politics and Economics together for the betterment of society. 
    Contained within is a small list of common terms in the areas of Economics, Business and Artificial Intelligence. Political terms are not included here but you will read some definitions of Economics that do have an overlap of political inferences. 
    I hope these terms and definitions provide some insight into the world of economics, business, and artificial intelligence. They all affect your lives more than you realize.
