Robinson Crusoe's Money
Robinson Crusoe's Money
David A. Wells
¥33.03
David Ames Wells (1828-1898), a prominent American financial economist, political activist and apostle of laissez faire, was a staunch advocate of free trade and the abolition of the tariff. "Wells wrote a large number of books, pamphlets, and articles ...His chief interests were the tariff, the theory of money and the currency question, and taxation. His discussion of all of these took character from his inspection of American economic life, which was marked in his period by progressive lowering of costs of production through the application of science.He, more than others, was the expositor of the nature and consequences of the 'machine age' ... Some of his most effective writing was in opposition to fiat money or depreciated monetary standards.An excellent example of his work in this field is his "ROBINSON CRUSOE'S MONEY", issued first in 1876 when resumption was in doubt, and again in 1896 when the 'free silver' advocacy was in full swing. Wells was among the earliest to appreciate the importance of what has since been known as 'technological unemployment,' the displacing of men by machines ...His writing and speaking was marked by simplicity, candor, and extraordinary facility in the popular adaptation of statistics. His aptness in illustration was as charming as it was effective ..."

Valljuk be, majdnem mindannyian hajlamosak vagyunk az ?nsajnálatra. ?gy hisszük, a legnagyobb baj mindig velünk t?rténik. Nos, ha valamiért szomorú vagy – esetleg elhagytak, megcsaltak, becsaptak vagy elárultak –, és elolvasod ezt a k?nyvet, hidd el, fel fogod tenni magadnak a kérdést: Miért sírok, miért szomorkodom?! Hozzájuk képest hálás lehetek a sorsnak… Ha éppen valamilyen párkapcsolati problémával küzdesz, biztosan találsz a k?nyvemben olyan t?rténetet, amely rímel a mostani gondjaidra. Megtudhatod, mások hogyan oldották meg – vagy hogyan rontották el – azt a bizonyos élethelyzetet. Talán segít felismerni a megoldást, és nem k?veted el ugyanazt a hibát, amit ott és akkor másvalaki már elk?vetett. Igaz a mondás: okos ember más kárán tanul. Nos, ebb?l a k?nyvb?l tanulhatsz b?ven… Megtanulhatod, hogyan lehet a teljes kiszolgáltatottságból felállni, egy t?nkrement életet újraépíteni, elgyászolni az elgyászolhatatlant, elengedni életed legfontosabb szerepl?jét, ahogy megtanulhatod azt is, hogyan rombolhat a legnagyobb szeretet, milyen mélységekbe taszíthat a szegénység, vagy hogy miként lehet újra bizakodni életünk romjain. A regényírók fantáziája végtelen, ám a legnagyobb mesemondó mégiscsak az élet. Aligha olvastál még olyan csavaros, izgalmas, megrázó t?rténeteket, mint ezek itt. Talán, mert ezeket a t?rténeteket tényleg az élet írta. ?n csak papírra vetettem. Tizenegy igaz t?rténet. Tizenegy d?bbenetes sors. Tizenegy ember, aki képes volt újrakezdeni az életét.

A Psychological Revolution
A Psychological Revolution
J. Krishnamurti
¥73.49
A PSYCHOLOGICAL REVOLUTION is an essay on the unique teaching of J. Krishnamurti. It starts with the question ‘What is Consciousness?’ – and carefully proposes a holistic definition, after reviewing the various psychological and spiritual theories that deal with this subject. However, the study goes farther and focuses on a more particular issue, a provocative question asked by K: “How to empty consciousness of its content?” Krishnamurti, coming to the conclusion that only a psychological revolution can lead to a transformation of thought and therewith, of the psychological make-up of modern man, suggests that it was possible to empty the content of consciousness on an individual level so as to totally renew our thought and emotional patterns. However, a careful examination of the question brought the author to the insight that consciousness cannot be emptied; what can be done instead is to integrate its content by the development of total awareness and vigilant attention.

Orna Ross

An Irish Fiction Omnibus is a collection of three bestselling novels from Orna Ross, perfect for fans of The Irish Heart series by Juliet Gauvin and An Irish Family Saga series by Jean Reinhardt. After the Rising, book one in The Irish Trilogy is a historical murder mystery of love, revenge and redemption. Twenty years ago, Jo Devereux fled Mucknamore, the small Irish village where she grew up, driven away by buried secrets and hatreds, swearing never to return Now she is back and wants to uncover the truth… What really happened between her family and their friends, the O’Donovans, during the Ireland’s bitter Civil War? The consequences of that bitter division in the 1920s carried down into Jo’s own life, shattering her relationship with Rory O’Donovan, the only man she ever loved, and driving her to leave Ireland. Now, Jo’s estranged mother has died, leaving her a suitcase full of letters and diaries that seem answer some questions about the past. Over the course of a long hot summer, Jo is astonished to read about her grandmother and great-aunt, their part in Ireland’s fight for freedom and the repercussions that echoed throughout their lives. She has learned how the passion of rebellion sweeps people up but what happens after the rising? Her Secret Rose is the first book in The Yeats-Gonne Trilogy, chronicling the passionate relationship between W.B. Yeats and Maud Gonne.? Willie Yeats was 23 years old in 1889, when Maud Gonne, six feet tall, elegantly beautiful and passionately political, came calling to his house and “the troubling of his life” began.? He spread his dreams under her feet, as they set about creating a new Ireland, through his poetry and her politics, and their shared interest in the occult. Packed with emotional twists and surprises, Her Secret Rose is a novel of secrets and intrigue, passion and politics, mystery and magic, that brings to life 1890s Dublin, London and Paris, two fascinating characters — and a charismatic love affair that altered the course of history for two nations. Blue Mercy is a literary family drama, with a murder at its heart, full of emotional twists and surprises. When Mercy Mulcahy was 40 years old, she was accused of killing her elderly and tyrannical father. Now, at the end of her life, she has written a book about what really happened on that fateful night of Christmas Eve, 1989. The tragic and beautiful Mercy has devoted her life to protecting Star, especially from the father whose behavior so blighted her own life. Yet Star vehemently resists reading her manuscript. Why? What is Mercy hiding? Was her father's death an assisted suicide? Or something more sinister? In this book, nothing is what it seems on the surface and everywhere there are emotional twists and surprises. Will you side with mother or daughter?
