  The Age of Piracy, often referred to as the Golden Age of Piracy, spanned from the late 17th century into the early 18th century, a period when piracy flourished in the Caribbean, the American colonies, and other parts of the world. This era witnessed the rise of some of the most notorious pirates and buccaneers in history, whose exploits have since become legendary. Piracy during this time was not simply a form of lawless adventure but a complex and multifaceted phenomenon deeply connected to the economic and political climate of the time. 
  The origins of piracy in the Caribbean can be traced back to the European colonial expansion. As European powers such as Spain, France, England, and the Netherlands began to establish colonies in the New World, the lucrative trade in goods such as gold, silver, tobacco, and sugar became a prime target for pirates. The Caribbean, with its vast network of islands and busy trade routes, became a breeding ground for piracy. The immense wealth flowing across the oceans from the colonies provided ample opportunity for plunder, while the remote islands and hidden coves offered the perfect sanctuary for pirates to evade capture. 
  Pirates in the Caribbean were not a monolithic group. Many were former sailors or privateers—government-sanctioned pirates who had turned against their employers or found themselves out of work following the end of wartime. These pirates were motivated by various factors, from the pursuit of personal wealth and freedom to the desire for revenge against colonial authorities. The promise of treasure, the lack of enforcement of maritime law, and the chaotic political landscape created an environment where piracy could thrive.

  Money Parties and Democracy -...

  Democratic politics is expensive. In US presidential elections, for instance, total spending now exceeds $6.5 billion. In the US, election campaigns are largely funded by private donations from individuals and corporate entities, whereas in Germany, the state is the main funder of electoral politics through subventions to parties. In some other countries, parties have been able to raise most of what they need internally by charging membership dues or, more exceptionally, by relying on a wealthy patron. However, there have been numerous scandals and controversies involving political finance, which pose a serious challenge to fundamental democratic principles.Matteo Bonotti and Zim Nwokora analyze the nature of these democratic risks and how they differ across various models of political finance. They argue that political finance rules ought to counterbalance the weaknesses of the party system they are being used alongside. To do so, political finance rules and party systems should be assessed together, in terms of three distinctive normative dimensions—collegiality, systemic voice, and systemic accountability—which capture what parties, at their best, can contribute to democratic politics. Money, Parties, and Democracy sets out a framework for evaluating political finance systems so that they can be designed or reformed to better support good governance.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  Mankind has come a long way since he learned how to control fire. And yet now in the 21st century he has created more than fire, he has created chains to bind himself into a system whereby he passes on the control of his own life to others. 
   
  Businesses, religions, royalty’s and governments have all sought to gain power by having control over our mental and physical states. They have utilized our own nature to achieve this. And these powers joined forces into a secret cabal we call the Illuminati. They have created a true Matrix of deceit and we are all being manipulated. 
   
  From the market place to the school, all-manner of magical devices have been dreamed up to entice and entrap us. We have closed our eyes and minds to the truth of the system we are now part of. And because of this we are now totally unaware of the deceit in which we reside. In fact we even perpetuate it by repeating the propaganda of those in power. Almost everything we think and do is the result of illusion created by those in power. 
   
  It is time to unlock these secrets and find freedom.
