  The Revolutionary Self - Social...

  Lynn Hunt

  An illuminating exploration of the tensions between self and society in the age of revolutions. 
   
   
   
  The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval. Hunt also explores how promotion in French revolutionary armies was based on men's singular capabilities, rather than noble blood, and how the invention of financial instruments such as life insurance and national debt related to a changing idea of national identity. Wide-ranging and thought-provoking, The Revolutionary Self is a fascinating exploration of the conflict between individualism and the group ties that continues to shape our lives today.

  The world has changed.  
  The antiquated concepts of money, savings, and retirement are no longer valid. The tired advice of diversify, set it and forget it, or invest early, often and always, has been tried, and it has failed.  
  Rather than scrimping and saving or grinding and hustling while you wait for one day, someday, Money Unmasked shows you a radically different and reliable approach to creating an exciting and compelling future without compromise.    
  Money Unmasked unveils the truth about making, keeping, and growing your money and enjoying life along the way. Rather than trading time for money or speculating and taking risks, Money Unmasked shows you how to plug financial leaks and tap into hidden capital so you can utilize the Cycle of Creation to profit up front and take control of your financial future. 
  Gunderson unveils an entirely new philosophy, a new way of being that can change your family’s financial destiny while immediately improving your quality of life—since you keep more of the money you make without cutting back. 
  By tapping into your Money Persona, you see beyond the constraints of scarcity, you can accelerate results, reduce risk, have more energy, and start making better financial decisions. And by learning how to profit from your ideas up front—without risking or borrowing a single dollar but instead making money on the buy—you can collect a quick win on your ideas and start creating immediate cash flow. You can lower risk, improve return, and be profitable from day one. 
  If you are ready to fully understand money, create wealth, and live a life you don’t want to retire from, it’s time for Money Unmasked.
