Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

In "Lombard Street: A Description of the Money Market," Walter Bagehot offers a meticulous examination of the financial mechanisms underlying Victorian England's banking system. Through a blend of rigorous analysis and clear prose, Bagehot elucidates the functions of the money market, emphasizing the importance of liquidity and the intricate relationships among banks and their role in economic stability. Written in the wake of the financial crises of the 19th century, the work is a seminal text that combines economic theory with a descriptive narrative, making it a crucial reference for understanding the historical context and evolution of modern banking practices. Walter Bagehot, a prominent Victorian journalist, and economist, brought unique insights to the financial landscape of his time. As the co-editor of the "The Economist," his firsthand experience with economic issues and a deep interest in the intersection of finance and society informed his analytical perspective. His advocacy for sound monetary policy and an understanding of psychology's role in economics shaped the thoughtful critique found within "Lombard Street." This book is essential for scholars, historians, and practitioners interested in the development of financial systems and economic theory. Bagehot's penetrating insights and articulate prose render it a timeless study that remains relevant in today's complex economic environment.

The Body Nirvana

Garima Gupta

From the 2019 International Book Award-wining writer, Garima Gupta!!! The body listens, remembers and speaks to us. We receive the body's messages all the time, although we seldom recognize them. Our body expresses its unmet needs and calls for attention in many ways. And so it is with weight. This is a puzzling matter only because some pieces of the puzzle are not in the box you were handed. Your weight is not a body issue. Excess weight is really a multi-dimensional problem showing up as an oversized body. Popular media is still full of diet and exercise advice that is based on sacrifice and punishment. Too few books use this research to show how weight can be reduced in a happier and healthier way. The Body Nirvana is about gradually letting go of everything that literally and metaphorically weighs you down. It is time to rejoice in your body's vitality and its capacity to take you towards your life's goals!
