Digital Barbarism: A Writer's Manifesto , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 538min
World-renowned novelist Mark Helprin offers a ringing Jeffersonian defense of private property in the age of digital culture, with its degradation of thought and language, and collectivist bias against the rights of individual creators. Mark Helprin anticipated that his 2007 New York Times op-ed piece about the extension of the term of copyright would be received quietly, if not altogether overlooked. Within a week, the article had accumulated 750,000 angry comments. He was shocked by the breathtaking sense of entitlement demonstrated by the commenters, and appalled by the breadth, speed, and illogic of their responses.Helprin realized how drastically different this generation is from those before it. The Creative Commons movement and the copyright abolitionists, like the rest of their generation, were educated with a modern bias toward collaboration, which has led them to denigrate individual efforts and in turn fueled their sense of entitlement to the fruits of other people's labors. More important, their selfish desire to "stick it" to the greedy corporate interests who control the production and distribution of intellectual property undermines not just the possibility of an independent literary culture but threatens the future of civilization itself. ungekürzt.

Culture Crossing: Discover the Key to Making Successful Connections in the New Global Era , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 310min
In an era when people and money are flowing fast across international boundaries, physically and virtually, culture crashes have become increasingly frequent, says international business consultant Michael Landers. A culture crash is what happens when someone unwittingly offends, frustrates or mystifies a person from a different culture. This can lead to lost business, hurt feelings, damaged relationships, even international incidents, as when Bill Gates shook his South Korean host's hand with one hand when he was supposed to use two (very disrespectful). So are culture crashes inevitable? No! All cultures fall into certain broad categories, and if you can figure out what kind of culture you're dealing with you can avoid committing a major faux pas. Landers first helps you become aware of your own culturally conditioned behaviors, perceptions and values, which seem so "normal" you don't even notice them (kind of like thinking you're not the one with an accent). Then he shows you how to figure out where a culture lies along continuums like individualistic vs. collectivist, direct vs. indirect, punctual vs. relaxed, and formal vs. informal. Filled with dozens of instructive and entertaining stories, this book will point you in the right direction as you navigate through the new global era. ungekürzt. Language: English.

A Social Carol , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 389min
A classic reimagined. As in A Christmas Carol with Ebenezer Scrooge's transformation following a visit from the ghost of his old friend, Jacob Marley, Evan Sanders gets a visit by the ghost of his old friend, Jimmy Marcus, who advises Evan that he will be further visited by three spirits to alter his collectivist worldview. Evan wants the people to control businesses and the state to control both for the greater good. However, when the spirits show him the worlds he wanted - the first where money is not allowed; the second where money is continually created to demand; the third where the state directs everything - and he begins to get what he wanted, Evan finds out that it wasn't what he wanted after all. A Social Carol delves into the idea of the state being the one needed to be turned to in order to address social and economic issues - that through the passing of a new law or regulation, the betterment of society will emerge. There is a mind-set that exists in seeking the state as the answer; there is a mind-set that emerges from the state acting as the answer. In the same manner there is a reality that the state creates, and there is the reality that is outside the ability of the state to affect. How the proper mind-set and perception of reality may come together in a congruent manner for individual betterment, and as a corollary betterment for society, is the focus of A Social Carol. ungekürzt.

Who Built That: Awe-Inspiring Stories of American Tinkerpreneurs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 485min
Firebrand conservative columnist, commentator, Internet entrepreneur, and number-one New York Times best-selling author Michelle Malkin tells the fascinating, little-known stories of the inventors who have contributed to American exceptionalism and technological progress. In July 2012 President Obama infamously proclaimed, "If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." Malkin wholeheartedly disagrees. Who Built That is a rousing tribute to the hidden American capitalists who pioneered everyday inventions. They're the little big things we take for granted: bottle caps and glassware, door hinges and staples, tissue paper, flashlights, railroad signals, rotary printing presses, bridge cables, and more. Malkin takes listeners on an eclectic journey of American capitalism, from the colonial period to the Industrial Age to the present, spotlighting awe-inspiring and little-known "tinkerpreneurs" who achieved their dreams of doing well by doing good. You'll learn how Paul Revere became America's first tech titan; how famous patent holders Abraham Lincoln and Mark Twain championed the nation's unique system of intellectual property rights; how glass-manufacturing mavericks Edward Libbey and Mike Owens defied naysayers to revolutionize food, beverage, and pharmaceutical packaging; how penniless Croatian immigrant Anthony Maglica started his $400 million Maglite flashlight business in a rented garage; and many more riveting stories that explain our country's fertile climate for scientific advancement and entrepreneurship. To understand who we are as people, we need first to understand what motivates America's ordinary and extraordinary makers and risk takers. Driven by her own experience as a second-generation beneficiary of the American dream, Malkin skillfully and passionately rebuts collectivist orthodoxy to celebrate the engineers, mechanics, designers, artisans, and relentless tink ungekürzt.

The Conquest of Bread , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 452min
The Conquest of Bread is an 1892 book by the Russian anarcho-communist Peter Kropotkin: (Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin, December 9, 1842 - February 8, 1921) a Russian activist, revolutionary, scientist, geographer and philosopher who advocated anarcho-communism. Originally written in French, it first appeared as a series of articles in the anarchist journal Le Révolté. It was first published in Paris with a preface by Élisée Reclus, who also suggested the title. Between 1892 and 1894, it was serialized in part in the London journal Freedom, of which Kropotkin was a co-founder. In the work, Kropotkin points out what he considers to be the defects of the economic systems of feudalism and capitalism and why he believes they thrive on and maintain poverty and scarcity. He goes on to propose a more decentralized economic system based on mutual aid and voluntary cooperation, asserting that the tendencies for this kind of organization already exist, both in evolution and in human society. The Conquest of Bread has become a classic of political anarchist literature. It was heavily influential on both the Spanish Civil War and the Occupy movement as well as Rojava (the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria). The publication of The Conquest of Bread was a watershed moment in anarchist history since it was the first time that a completed and in-depth theoretical work of anarcho-communist theory was available to the public. The publication of the text shifted the focus of anarchism from individualist, mutualist and collectivist strains to social and communist tendencies. This shift would prove to be one of the most enduring changes in the history of anarchism as anarchism developed throughout the 20th century with Kropotkin and The Conquest of Bread as firm reference points. ungekürzt.

Agenda 21 Exposed! (eBook, ePUB)
The Great Reset is 100% certain to fail. We based this conviction on the analytical model of his unique A.I. 'Socrates', which has proven to be astonishingly accurate so many times over for decades. We have a group of elderly people over 80 trying to take over the world and push through this Fourth Industrial Revolution. They are probably hoping for a quick advance in medicine to avoid death. The good news is that this whole attempt to redesign the world and create a future where they become immortal and stay on top will fail.''In 2022-2023, according to our models, we will have panic cycles around the world such as have not occurred since the 1930s. Before that there was the period 1917-1923, with revolutions in Russia and Germany. The larger German revolution led to the monarchy, but also to similar revolutions such as the Soviet Republic, the Hungarian Revolution, and the Biennio Rosso revolution in Italy. There were many other smaller uprisings, protests and strikes that resulted from the economic losses of World War I.'It is hopeful that our future leaders are already coming forward. Young people are also beginning to wake up (not the fake 'woke', which is an extremist extension of old thinking). These are the ones who will soon be allowed to build the real New World; a world where everything that is now 'Big', 'Great' and collectivist will have been definitively settled and where the well-being and maximum development of each individual will finally be central.Grab your copy, now and read more about the real truth of the current state of affairs!- Shop: buecher
