"This book was begun in the quiet, news - free, cold winter days of January 2015 and completed amid the heat of summer, when again news took a holiday, in August and September 2015. Given that it is a slim volume, it is not that I am a slow writer, on the contrary; there was a hiatus of seven months between the ending of chapter three and the start of work on chapter four. The news business makes its demands makes it's demands on the editor of a news website..."

Подготвен от кипежа на XV столетие и оплоден от пътешествията на изследователи, които свързват стария западен свят с други цивилизации, XVI век е период, богат на събития, конфликти, промени и политическо, икономическо, философско и творческо обновление. С него се ражда Модерната епоха. Великият век е време на новости, които ще се утвърдят и развият. Белязан е от възвишени морални и философски стремления, от жизнения път на бележити личности, от силния интерес към Африка, Азия и току-що откритата Испанска Америка, от религиозни размирици и съмнения в европейски и световен мащаб. Като се позовават на множество проучвания, ... |

В момента проблемът за разпределението на благата е сред най-обсъжданите. Мненията се свеждат до две коренно противоположни. Според едното неравенствата ще продължават да нарастват в един все по-несправедлив свят. Според другото ще станем свидетели на спонтанно намаляване на неравенствата, така че всяка намеса би донесла само рискове за хармонизиращата тенденция. Какво обаче наистина знаем за измененията на неравенствата в дългосрочен план? Икономическите анализи, за които се предполага, че трябва да решат спора, почиват по-често върху теоретични спекулации, отколкото върху сигурно установени факти. Тази книга е плод на ... |

Или се ядосваш сам на себе си, че все още не можеш да се справиш финансово? Животът не е лесен. Въпросът е: какво ще направиш ти? Да се оплакваш и да недоволстваш от икономиката или да обвиняваш някой друг няма да реши финансовите ти проблеми и няма да те подсигури материално. Ако искаш богатство, трябва да го създадеш. Трябва да поемеш контрол върху бъдещето си като си осигуриш доходи, и то още днес. Нуждаеш се от собствен бизнес. За мнозина днешната икономика е ... |
