The End of Money and The Future of Civilization PDF Download ebook

The End of Money and the Future of Civilization by Thomas H. Greco Jr. demystifies the subjects of money, banking, and finance by tracing historical landmarks and important evolutionary shifts that have changed the essential nature of money. Greco's masterful work lays out the problems and then looks to the future for a next stage in money's evolution that can liberate us as individuals and communities from the current grip of centralized and politicized money power.

Greco provides specific design proposals and exchange-system architectures for local, regional, national, and global financial systems. He offers strategies for their implementation and outlines actions grassroots organizations, businesses, and governments will need to take to achieve success.

Ultimately, The End of Money and the Future of Civilization provides the necessary understanding-- for entrepreneurs, activists, and civic leaders--to implement approaches toward monetary liberation. These approaches would empower communities, preserve democratic institutions, and begin to build economies that are sustainable, democratic, and insulated from the financial crises that plague the dominant monetary system.

The End of Money and the Future of Civilization book could have a profound positive impact on local and eventually global economies. It is definitely worth the effort to read through it, if nothing more to better understand our financial system and its weaknesses in order to garner support for a more equitable and secure financial system.

The Empathic Civilization PDF epub Download Review

The Empathic Civilization: The Race to Global Consciousness in a World in Crisis by Jeremy Rifkin is a serious book. It's well researched, well thought out and articulates the author's thoughts clearly in easy to read fashion. The question Jared Diamond asked, " What did the people on Easter Island think as they cut down the last tree?" resonates throughout this book, but we're not discussing an isolated island, but the future of at least the developed world and maybe mankind. Unlike many pundits and politicians, Mr Rifkin first delves deeply and broadly into underlying assumptions, historical context, and cultural issues, which while seeming maybe extraneous are the very essence from which we must fashion the future.

Businesses, organizations and civilizations fail mainly because they continue to operate on assumptions which a no longer valid...things have changed. The Empathic Civilization case is strong that we are at one of those massive inflection points in history where old assumptions are no longer holding true. With the pending sunset of the " second industrial revolution", Mr Rifkin then posits the framework for a "Third Industrial Revolution" which is as remarkably different from today's centralized carbon powered society, as is the IPhone, Amazon, internet world from the mom and pop grocery stores and wire based telephones of our parents.

The Empathic Civilization is a compelling vision and is one which potentially puts mankind on a positive course for the future, taking "the world is flat" to it's logical conclusion with a highly distributed, more equitable form of capitalism, as opposed to the punitive, fine based approach we have so recently seen in evidence in Copenhagen.

A History of Civilizations, Fernand Braudel PDF ebook Review Download

A History of Civilizations by Fernand Braudel, Richard Mayne book contains much that is prescient and insightful. Consider, on China: "In 1945, she was unable to make a motor-scooter by 1963 she was on the brink of producing an atomic bomb." And what would he say now? On the concentration of power in the elites, consider his quote from Lenin: "If Tsarism could last for centuries thanks to 130,000 aristocratic feudal landowners with police powers in their regions, why should I not be able to hold out for a few decades with a party of 130,000 devoted militants?" (And indeed Lenin did!, before joining that proverbial dustbin).

Braudel also covers A History of Civilizations why the world speaks English and not French, largely due to the fact that the English were sending out in the mid-18th Century a million colonists compared to 70,000 for the French,  since the latter had fears of becoming depopulated. And he gave a wonderful nod to one of my favorite cities, Avignon.

The A History of Civilizations author's arguments on historical trends are cogent his brush is broad, and the read enjoyable. He anticipated the "butterfly theory," without the name (the flapping of the wings of a proverbial butterfly in China might contribute to a tornado in Kansas). He did so by also referencing China, and spoke of the spread of the Chinese fashions of the T'ang period eventually reaching France, and the court of Charles VI "... the heritage of a long vanished world-much as light still reaches us from stars already extinct."
