This book argues for computer-aided collaborative country research based on the science of complex and dynamic systems. It provides an in-depth discussion of systems and computer science, concluding that proper understanding of a country is only possible if a genuinely interdisciplinary and truly international approach is taken; one that is based on complexity science and supported by computer science. Country studies should be carefully designed and collaboratively carried out, and a new generation of country students should pay more attention to the fast growing potential of digitized and electronically connected libraries. In this frenzied age of globalization, foreign policy makers may – to the benefit of a better world – profit from the radically new country studies pleaded for in the book. Its author emphasizes that reductionism and holism are not antagonistic but complementary, arguing that parts are always parts of a whole and a whole has always parts.

Bitcoin may be the greatest earthly treasure known to man, and the antidote to our broken, centralized, traditional financial system. In this ebook, Bitcoin - A Catholic View, I share my views about the morality of work and money from a Catholic perspective. When money functions poorly, as is the case with government-issued currencies, then it results in a broken and unjust system. However, when money is sound, as is the case with bitcoin, then there is hope of producing a fair and just financial system for every individual, regardless of where they live and what government system they are subjected to. You will learn about the technology behind bitcoin and how it works, as well as its financial implications as a digital asset. I have also shared a set of Ten Commandments that I think can help anyone become financially literate with the hope of achieving financial freedom. Copyright © 2024 by Jasbir Singh
