Sinopsis

In "IMPERIAL GERMANY AND THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: The Background Origins of World War I - Economic Rise as a Fuel for Political Radicalism," Thorstein Veblen provides a penetrating examination of the sociopolitical consequences of Germany's rapid industrialization in the late 19th century. Utilizing a distinctive combination of economic analysis and social critique, Veblen delves into how the unprecedented economic growth in Germany not only transformed its social fabric but also sowed the seeds of political radicalism that would contribute to the tensions igniting World War I. His incisive prose illuminates the nexus between economic factors and political upheaval, situated within the broader context of European imperialism and industrial competition. Veblen, an influential economist and social critic known for his critical views on capitalism and consumer culture, draws from both his expertise in economics and his profound understanding of social dynamics. His own experiences as an immigrant and his academic background at prestigious institutions informed his perspectives on the interplay between economic structures and social behaviors, ultimately leading him to explore how these dynamics precipitated nationalistic fervor in pre-war Germany. This book is essential for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between economic advancement and political instability. Veblen's thoughtful analysis ensures readers gain insight into how the forces of industrial growth contributed to one of history's most catastrophic conflicts, making it a significant read for students of history, economics, and political science alike.

    This audiobook is an update to Reality Prism: A Raven Thriller, released by Flamingo Audiobooks. The focus of our book is to describe and explain the myriad of attacks on our Western Culture in general and the United States as the key target and last bastion of freedom. Mind War is the use of sophisticated deception to deceive an enemy, and to plant false images in his mind to allow advantage. It is a military tactic.Mindless War is a phrase that we’ve coined to describe the methods and controls being used destructively by Globalists, the New World Order, China, the Radical Left, and others, to replace the “old order” of countries, independent nation states, with a world of total control by independent, unaccountable elites. Groups like the World Economic Forum and the UN have been working on this for decades.Yes, this is the “Great Reset.” The goals are documented in UN Agenda 2030, and other such documents. That is the subject of our book Reality Prism. The goal of Mind War is to instill fear in a society! “Fear is the Mind Killer.” It drives the loss of judgment. False reality can be used to cause insane, self-destructive behavior.In the past, genocides and tyranny came from force. As Mao demonstrated, “From the barrel of a gun.” Or, as Hitler showed, from military conquest and death camps. Mind War is a much more effective tactic.Recent events show its success in getting Americans to surrender our notions of exceptionalism and all men (and women) of being equal. Our God-Given Freedoms—from the right to assemble, free speech, fair trials, innocent until proven guilty, honest elections, freedom of worship, the rule of law, and, of course, at the end, the right to bear arms—are all slipping away.
