The Complete Works of Thorstein Veblen

Thorstein Veblen

Sinopse

"The Complete Works of Thorstein Veblen" compiles the exhaustive writings of one of the foremost social theorists of the early 20th century, known for his incisive critique of capitalism and consumer culture. Veblen employs a distinctive blend of humor and sociological insight, characterized by his sharp wit and profound observations on the interplay between economics and social behavior. Within these works, he examines concepts such as conspicuous consumption, the leisure class, and the socio-economic dynamics that shape modern society, all while situating his arguments in the broader context of American industrialism and its implications for social stratification. Thorstein Veblen, born in 1857 to Norwegian immigrant parents, was deeply influenced by the socio-economic conditions of his time. Educated at prominent institutions such as Carleton College and Johns Hopkins University, Veblen's interdisciplinary approach drew from philosophy, economics, and sociology. His experiences as a member of both the upper class and the working class enabled him to critique the very fabric of American life while advocating for a more equitable society. Readers interested in the intersections of economics, sociology, and cultural critique will find this anthology indispensable. Veblen's works offer timeless insights into the mechanisms of social behavior and economic practices that resonate even today. "The Complete Works of Thorstein Veblen" is not merely a historical artifact; it remains a vital resource for understanding contemporary issues within the framework of modern consumerism and class dynamics.

Make Money Move - A Guide to...

Lauren Simmons

The popular host of the Money Moves podcast and youngest person ever to trade on the New York Stock Exchange provides winning tips for women to help them shift their financial mindset, become confident about their money, set them on a path to financial security, and live their best lives.
“Seventy three percent of Americans ranked their finances as the number one cause of stress in their lives. But financial wellness can have a positive effect on your entire life. Not only when it comes to money and finances, but the quality and ease of how you live. Financial wellness means freedom for your body and freedom for your mind. Financial stress can also cause the breakdown of relationships. But it doesn’t have to be that way.”—Lauren Simmons
In 2017, when she was only twenty-two, Lauren Simmons became the youngest full-time female trader at the New York Stock Exchange, and the second African American woman in the Exchange's 228-year history to hold such a position. Driven by a passion for empowering women, Millennials, Gen Zs, and minorities to become more financially savvy, she now shares her experience and knowledge in this savvy financial guide.
Simmons brings a fresh perspective to personal finance: she is a young African American woman with an understanding of how to increase wealth and an awareness of generational and cultural barriers—such an income inequity—that can hold people back from taking financial risks. In her warm, down-to-earth voice, Simmons makes confusing topics easy to understand. She breaks down the pros and cons of buying stocks and Treasuries, explains how to maximize your 401K opportunities even in challenging economic times, advises how to grapple with student loans, and helps you break family cycles when dealing (or not) with debt.
Simmons helps a new generation and others who have been overlooked learn how to take care of their money—so their money can take care of them, today and tomorrow.
