Summary

In the 'THORSTEIN VEBLEN Ultimate Collection: 8 Books & 50+ Business Essays and Articles in Warfare and Economics,' Veblen presents a rigorous analysis of the interplay between economics, society, and culture. This comprehensive anthology encapsulates his critical theories on capitalism, conspicuous consumption, and the socio-economic implications of warfare, all conveyed through Veblen's incisive and often satirical prose. The collection not only illuminates Veblen's pioneering ideas but also situates them within the intellectual currents of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, revealing how his critiques remain relevant in the contemporary discourse on economics and capitalism. Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and sociologist, is celebrated for his original and biting critiques of the capitalist system. His academic journey, marked by his background in Darwinian evolution and social theory, inspired him to investigate the behavioral aspects underpinning economic phenomena. Veblen's commitment to understanding the socio-cultural environment of economic activity led him to pen these influential works, addressing issues that resonate deeply in today's economic landscape. This collection is an indispensable resource for students and scholars of economics and social theory alike, offering profound insights into the mechanisms of power and wealth in society. Readers seeking to engage with the foundational critiques of capitalism and its societal implications will find Veblen'Äôs works both illuminating and essential.

In Building a Second Brain (2022), productivity expert Tiago Forte explains how fixing this problem starts with one simple step: writing things down. With the techniques he teaches, you’ll be able to remember things you’ve learned, organize the knowledge you already have, make connections and spot patterns, and most importantly, take time off work without worrying about losing progress.

    A fascinating examination of the rapid concentration of global capital, with chapters that focus on China and Russia. 
     
     
     
    In Titans of Capital, Peter Phillips, a political sociologist, poses three key research questions: To what extent do the wealthy influence—or even dominate—decision making that affects all of us in society? Who are the most powerful people? And how does the accumulation of capital work? 
     
     
     
    Networks of wealthy individuals have evolved since the COVID-19 pandemic, and Titans of Capital shows how the financial investments of transnational elites threaten human rights and the future of the planet. Phillips warns that while continued concentration of global capital increases the profits enjoyed by the global economy's "Titans,", it also increases global inequality, starvation, and civil unrest, threatening the lives of the hundreds of millions of people living in extreme poverty. It is imperative to ask how we can reverse the concentration of Titan wealth and revitalize grassroots democracy unbridled by extreme wealth. Identifying 117 global Titans by name and exposing the networks and interests that unite them provides listeners opposed to militarism and committed to economic equality with crucial tools to directly engage the power elite who endanger life on earth.
