"Freedom is a monetary matter" explores the social and economic consequences of monetary inflation in the current financial system and provides a comparison in various areas to a system based on sound money (money without inflation). The book has a strong foundation in world history and its major cycles. Rising prices, growing lines at the food bank, major corporations generating billions of dollars in revenues, an increasing threat of war; This book is written for people that want to figure out how to connect the dots in an accelerating chain of seemingly senseless and unconnected world events. Equipped with the overall framework as described in this book, these events will become very understandable and even predictable. It will also become very clear in what way inflation has determined the course of history and how history tells us, that we can expect increasing instability of the current monetary system. In this book you will read how bitcoin — a digitally sound money that dissipates inflation — fits into this picture. It also becomes clear what we can do for our personal financial security in the times ahead.
"Vrijheid is een geld kwestie" verkent de sociale en economische gevolgen van inflatie in het huidige financiële systeem en geeft een vergelijking op verschillende gebieden met een systeem met gezond geld (geld zonder inflatie). Stijgende prijzen, groeiende rijen bij de voedselbank, grote bedrijven die miljarden winsten genereren, toenemende oorlogsdreiging; dit boek is geschreven voor mensen die de verbanden willen leggen in een versnellende reeks van schijnbaar zinloze en niet-verbonden wereldgebeurtenissen. Uitgerust met het beschreven raamwerk, zullen deze gebeurtenissen begrijpelijk en zelfs voorspelbaar worden. Het boek heeft een sterke basis in de wereldgeschiedenis en de grote cycli en het geeft helder weer op welke manier inflatie de loop van de geschiedenis heeft bepaald en ook wat de geschiedenis ons vertelt over de staat van ons huidige monetaire systeem. In dit boek lees je hoe bitcoin — een digitaal gezond geld zonder onbeperkte inflatie — in dit plaatje past. Ook wordt het helder wat we kunnen doen voor onze persoonlijke financiële zekerheid in de komende tijden.
When asked to name an archetypal love story, most people will reply 'Romeo & Juliet', although some say 'Tristan & Isolde' instead. Very few will come up with a classical example, and the reason for this is simple: when you say archetypal, it is assumed you mean love between a man and a woman, and instances of this in classical accounts are rare. The reason for this is also not hard to find: as it does now, 'love' in the ancient world meant the affection of equals, and given the inferior position of women in Greek and Roman society, between the sexes is not usually where love is to be found. Straightforward examines how we got from there to here. It is a study not of the loves of real people, but of the ideal of love as it found expression in stories, stories which were often retold and reimagined by new generations and new cultures. By following these stories and the changes they underwent through the centuries Straightforward attempts to answer two related questions: 'When and why did the heterosexual ideal become normative in our narrative tradition?' and 'What was there before?' We begin in archaic Greece, with a story which was already old when Homer composed his epics...

Populist rage, ideological fracture, economic and technological shocks, war, and an international system studded with catastrophic risk—the early decades of the twenty-first century may be the most revolutionary period in modern history. But it is not the first. Humans have lived, and thrived, through more than one great realignment. What are these revolutions, and how can they help us to understand our fraught world? In this major work, Fareed Zakaria masterfully investigates the eras and movements that have shaken norms while shaping the modern w...
