Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: „Paginile acestei cărţi s-au născut dintr-o idee simplă: fiecare om îşi alcătuieşte de-a lungul vieţii un edificiu afectiv. Măsura în care el este e dată de consistenţa acestui edificiu, de mâna aceea de oameni – ei nu pot fi mulţi – pe care i-a preluat în el şi pe care i-a iubit fără rest, fără umbră, şi împotriva cărora spiritul lui critic, chiar dacă a fost prezent, a rămas neputincios. Aceşti oameni puţini care ne fac pe fiecare în parte să nu regretăm că suntem reprezintă, chit că o ştim sau nu, stratul de protecţie care ne ajută să trecem prin viaţă. Fiecare om face faţă la ce i se întâmplă pentru că este protejat în felul acesta. Fără acest zid de fiinţe iubite care ne înconjoară (indiferent că ele sunt sau nu în viaţă), noi nu am fi buni de nimic. Ne-am destrăma precum într-o atmosferă în care frecarea este prea mare. Sau ne-am pierde, ne-am rătăci pur şi simplu în viaţă. Dacă ura celorlalţi – covârşitoare uneori! –, invidia lor, mârşăvia lor sunt neputincioase este pentru că există câţiva oameni pe care îi iubim până la capăt. Despre asemenea oameni este vorba în această carte. Ei poartă numele de Monica şi Virgil Ierunca, Noica sau Creţia, Sebastian sau Dragomir, Henri Wald, Andrei Pleşu sau Horia Bernea. Cu excepţia lui Mihail Sebastian, pe toţi ceilalţi i-am întâlnit în carne şi oase şi ei sunt cei care mi-au construit sau mi-au influenţat destinul.“ (Gabriel LIICEANU)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How does the brain work? Michael O'Shea provides an accessible introduction to the key questions and current state of brain research, and shows that, though we know a surprising amount, we are still far from having a complete understanding. The topics he discusses range from how we sense things and how memories are stored, to the evolution of brains and nervous systems from primitive organisms, as well as altered mental states, brain-computer hybrids, and the future of brain research."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book A Capitalism for the People written by Luigi Zingales and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Italy, University of Chicago economist Luigi Zingales witnessed firsthand the consequences of high inflation and unemployment -- paired with rampant nepotism and cronyism -- on a country's economy. This experience profoundly shaped his professional interests, and in 1988 he arrived in the United States, armed with a political passion and the belief that economists should not merely interpret the world, but should change it for the better. In A Capitalism for the People, Zingales makes a forceful, philosophical, and at times personal argument that the roots of American capitalism are dying, and that the result is a drift toward the more corrupt systems found throughout Europe and much of the rest of the world. American capitalism, according to Zingales, grew in a unique incubator that provided it with a distinct flavor of competitiveness, a meritocratic nature that fostered trust in markets and a faith in mobility. Lately, however, that trust has been eroded by a betrayal of our pro-business elites, whose lobbying has come to dictate the market rather than be subject to it, and this betrayal has taken place with the complicity of our intellectual class. Because of this trend, much of the country is questioning -- often with great anger -- whether the system that has for so long buoyed their hopes has now betrayed them once and for all. What we are left with is either anti-market pitchfork populism or pro-business technocratic insularity. Neither of these options presents a way to preserve what the author calls "the lighthouse" of American capitalism. Zingales argues that the way forward is pro-market populism, a fostering of truly free and open competition for the good of the people -- not for the good of big business. Drawing on the historical record of American populism at the turn of the twentieth century, Zingales illustrates how our current circumstances aren't all that different. People in the middle and at the bottom are getting squeezed, while people at the top are only growing richer. The solutions now, as then, are reforms to economic policy that level the playing field. Reforms that may be anti-business (specifically anti-big business), but are squarely pro-market. The question is whether we can once again muster the courage to confront the powers that be.

Download or read book The Limits of the Market written by Paul de Grauwe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The old discussion of 'Market or State' is obsolete. There will always have to be a mix of market and state. The only relevant question is what that mix should look like. How far do we have to let the market go its own way in order to create as much welfare as possible for everyone? What is the responsibility of the government in creating welfare? These are difficult questions. But they are also interesting questions and Paul De Grauwe analyses them in this book. The desired mix of market and state is anything but easy to bring about. It is a difficult and sometimes destructive process that is constantly in motion. There are periods in history in which the market gains in importance. During other periods the opposite occurs and government is more dominant. The turning points in this pendulum swing typically seem to coincide with disruptive events that test the limits of market and state. Why we experience this dynamic is an important theme in the book. Will the market, which today is afforded a greater and greater role due to globalization, run up against its limits? Or do the financial crisis and growing income inequality show that we have already reached those limits? Do we have to brace ourselves for a rejection of the capitalist system? Are we returning to an economy in which the government is running the show?

It is wise to have money, says Pascal Bruckner, and wise to think and talk about it critically.

Download or read book Romanian Literature as World Literature written by Mircea Martin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaching Romanian literature as world literature, this book is a critical-theoretical manifesto that places its object at the crossroads of empires, regions, and influences and draws conclusions whose relevance extends beyond the Romanian, Romance, and East European cultural systems. This “intersectional” revisiting of Romanian literature is organized into three parts. Opening with a fresh look at the literary ideology of Romania's “national poet,” Mihai Eminescu, part I dwells primarily on literary-cultural history as process and discipline. Here, the focus is on cross-cultural mimesis, the role of strategic imitation in the production of a distinct literature in modern Romania, and the shortcomings marking traditional literary historiography's handling of these issues. Part II examines the ethno-linguistic and territorial complexity of Romanian literatures or “Romanian literature in the plural.” Part III takes up the trans-systemic rise of Romanian, Jewish Romanian, and Romanian-European avant-garde and modernism, Socialist Realism, exile and émigré literature, and translation.

Book excerpt: Who are the Vlachs? For the first time, Mirela Roznoveanu has put Europe's original people—her people—on the map. Living for millennia hidden high in the Balkan and Dalmatian mountains, above the shifting tides of empires, the Vlachs, or Armâns, have fiercely guarded the unity in variety of their ancient way of life. Their long silence breaks at last, overflowing with mythology, history, landscape, folklore, food, customs, clothing, music, magical realism, intrigue, passion, cruelty, poetry, tragedy, and comedy. Vlachica is a force of nature—total immersion in a rich, lost world.
