  Adam Smith - A Very Short...

  Christopher J. Berry

  In 1776 Adam Smith (1723-90) wrote The Wealth of Nations, a book so foundational that it has led to him being called the "father of economics." Today he is associated with the promotion of self-interest, a defense of greed and a criticism of any governmental "interference" in market transactions which, if left to the "invisible hand," will produce prosperity and liberty. Yet if Smith is actually read these associations are more a caricature than a faithful portrait. 
   
   
   
  In this Very Short Introduction, Christopher Berry offers a balanced and nuanced view of this seminal thinker, embedding his fierce defense of free trade, competition, and assault on special interests in contemporary European history, politics, and philosophy. As Berry explores, Smith was more than an economist. In addition to his two major works he also wrote a pioneering study of the history of astronomy as an illustration of the motivations that drive humans to seek answers to questions. He produced, again derived from his Glasgow classroom, an analysis of the development of grammar and language. As Christopher Berry shows, Adam Smith was no narrow thinker, but rather one who produced not only one of the greatest books in the history of social science, but also a wide-ranging body of work that remains significant today.

  Monetary calvinism - monetary...

  Increasingly, we are witnessing popular uprisings around the globe that, contrary to historical insurrections confined to less developed countries and poverty, now share common banners of struggle such as inflation, inequality, elite abuse, immigration, all at the heart of globalization and capitalism which, at the risk of losing its monopolistic and privileged position of the last four decades, requires equally dramatic adjustments. As a product of globalization, which has standardized capitals throughout the world, discontent is unequivocally linked by intellectuals to apparent, proximate causes, merging with symptoms, confusing the analysis. This book attempts to highlight some ultimate causes, emphasizing among them the abandonment of a series of counterweights, regulatory mechanisms, and consensuses that for centuries tempered the exercise of power, and which thanks to technology we can rescue for the first time. 
  There is a growing number of indicators showing that we have finally arrived at a kind of monetary apocalypse, in which we print money ad infinitum into a bottomless pit, generating not only fiscal distortions but also inevitably financial crises every five to ten years. Among the many harmful effects of infinite debt issuance, the Cantillon Effect (a term coined more than two centuries ago in England) stands out, in which those close to the monetary spigot benefit from abundant and low-cost credit versus those who are farther away and receive in comparison a slight mist, in addition to the harmful effects of such excessive monetary mass issuance, namely, hyperinflation or excessive inflation (which is nothing but taxation without representation), unemployment, and confiscation. 
  Liberalism and its steed, capitalism, in its most recent and galloping version, would be better served if we move towards a growing separation of state-money, a kind of monetary Calvinism, using for it new forms of sound money, less susceptible to the whims of central power and

  Cult A Love Story - Ten Years...

  For fans of Educated, Captive, and Leah Remini's Troublemaker comes the gripping true-life story of one young woman's accidental journey into a cult. And her escape a decade later. 
  It's rarely obvious when a group is a cult. Most cults don't advertise themselves as such: they are groups of people who look and act just like you and me. Not dangerous. Not deranged. At least, not at first. 
  The slide toward complete control of your personality, your thoughts, and your life is slow and virtually unnoticeable. Until it's too late. 
  In this award-winning memoir, Alexandra Amor shines a light on cults so that others might learn from her heartbreaking experience. Amor gracefully and sensitively explains how ordinary and intelligent people get seduced into joining cults, why they stay despite the emotional and psychological abuse, and what the long process of recovery looks like once someone leaves a cult. 
  Amor's transparency about her decade-long involvement with a Vancouver, Canada cult makes this powerful and gripping book an excellent resource for those wanting to know more about how the mind control of a high demand spiritual or religious group works. 
  "This excellent memoir reveals how a charismatic, manipulative spirit medium can use love for God and neighbor as a hook to drag a small group of devotees into her cynical web of impossible goals for self-perfection. After a heroic struggle for insight, Alexandra Amor was one of the cult members who broke the abusive spell." Joesph Szimhart, Cult Information Specialist
