Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wealth and Moral Law: The Carew Lectures, for 1894, Hartford Theological Seminary The original purpose of these lectures is sufficiently indicated in the opening paragraphs of Lecture I. Since their delivery, it has been thought that they may with advantage be made accessible to a wider public. The industrial life of our time creates many new moral problems, some of which are ever coming home to every man's business and bosom. Multitudes of good people, unable to solve these, find them a source of incessant mental distress. Most of us do not wish to engage in practices which are wrong, or to countenance such. On the other hand we are anxious not to condemn deeds or policies that are good and right. Men need more instruction in the concrete particulars of duty, more light upon the often hardly visible distinction between right and wrong in social and economic conduct. The ethical teaching of schools and colleges must, from the nature of the case, be mainly theoretical and general, and it therefore very imperfectly supplies this want even for liberally educated persons. Neither the secular nor the religious press canvasses the finer questions of Applied Ethics with much delicacy or depth. Even the pulpit has not in recent years duly discharged this part of its high office. Indeed, I fear that, since the Reformation, at any rate, the pulpit has at no time done this. Happily, one sees signs that preachers are determined to be more faithful here. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we allow corporations to pay for the right to pollute the atmosphere? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars? Auctioning admission to elite universities? Selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay? In What Money Can't Buy, Michael J. Sandel takes on one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Is there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so, how can we prevent market values from reaching into spheres of life where they don't belong? What are the moral limits of markets? In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life—medicine, education, government, law, art, sports, even family life and personal relations. Without quite realizing it, Sandel argues, we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society. Is this where we want to be?In his New York Times bestseller Justice, Sandel showed himself to be a master at illuminating, with clarity and verve, the hard moral questions we confront in our everyday lives. Now, in What Money Can't Buy, he provokes an essential discussion that we, in our market-driven age, need to have: What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society—and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets don't honor and that money can't buy?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standing apart from the swollen stream of writing dealing with financial crises, this much-needed book makes a legal case for enforcement of legal accountability for financial crises and for providing justice for the inestimable and untold human suffering caused by Washington and Wall Street. The extraordinarily detailed analysis comes with the authority of a widely experienced and internationally respected banking and finance lawyer. The book’s driving forces may be summarized as follows: it establishes that persistent and progressive money debasement is at the heart of all serious systemic financial crises; it establishes that the crisis in 2008 was not only simply immoral or wrong but also illegal, the result of intentional violation of the foundational legal requirements of honest, safe, and sound money and banking; it establishes that Washington and Wall Street have intentionally manipulated asset values and liquidity characteristics through proliferation of ineffective banking law and regulation magnified by the rise of structured finance and shadow banking. Basing its analysis on numerous case studies and illustrations, this book enables readers to untangle the web of false narratives wrought by Washington and Wall Street to obscure and misdirect any clear understanding of how fundamental civil, legal and constitutional rights are undermined. Designed to empower readers to effect meaningful legal action against money manipulation and debasement for the benefit of financial elites, this book is essential reading for banking lawyers, bankers, securities firms, lobbyists, government regulators and supervisory institutions. It is also sure to be welcomed by academics in finance and securities law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprising and revealing look at how today’s elite view their wealth and place in society From TV’s “real housewives” to The Wolf of Wall Street, our popular culture portrays the wealthy as materialistic and entitled. But what do we really know about those who live on “easy street”? In this penetrating book, Rachel Sherman draws on rare in-depth interviews that she conducted with fifty affluent New Yorkers—from hedge fund financiers and artists to stay-at-home mothers—to examine their lifestyle choices and understanding of privilege. Sherman upends images of wealthy people as invested only in accruing social advantages for themselves and their children. Instead, these liberal elites, who believe in diversity and meritocracy, feel conflicted about their position in a highly unequal society. As the distance between rich and poor widens, Uneasy Street not only explores the lives of those at the top but also sheds light on how extreme inequality comes to seem ordinary and acceptable to the rest of us.

Download or read book Markets without Limits written by Jason F. Brennan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: May you sell your vote? May you sell your kidney? May gay men pay surrogates to bear them children? May spouses pay each other to watch the kids, do the dishes, or have sex? Should we allow the rich to genetically engineer gifted, beautiful children? Should we allow betting markets on terrorist attacks and natural disasters? Most people shudder at the thought. To put some goods and services for sale offends human dignity. If everything is commodified, then nothing is sacred. The market corrodes our character. Or so most people say. In Markets without Limits, Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski give markets a fair hearing. The market does not introduce wrongness where there was not any previously. Thus, the authors claim, the question of what rightfully may be bought and sold has a simple answer: if you may do it for free, you may do it for money. Contrary to the conservative consensus, they claim there are no inherent limits to what can be bought and sold, but only restrictions on how we buy and sell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ethnographic study of China’s new elites and their rarified world of debauchery and corruption: “A must have book for China studies” (Choice). This pioneering investigation reveals the private lives—and the nightlives—of the powerful entrepreneurs and managers redefining success and status in the Chinese city of Chengdu. For more than three years, anthropologist John Osburg accompanied wealthy Chinese businessmen as they courted clients, partners, and government officials. Now he invites readers along on his journey through the highly gendered world of luxury karaoke clubs, saunas, and massage parlors—places designed to cater to the desires of elite men. Within these spaces, a masculinization of business is taking place. Osburg details the complex code of behavior that governs businessmen as they go about banqueting, drinking, gambling, bribing, exchanging gifts, and obtaining sexual services. These intricate social networks play a key role in generating business, performing social status, and reconfiguring gender roles. Yet underneath the façade, many entrepreneurs feel trapped by their obligations and moral compromises in this evolving environment. Osburg examines their deep ambivalence about China’s future and their own complicity in the major issues of post-Mao Chinese society—corruption, inequality, materialism, and loss of trust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the 99% occupied Wall Street... Before the concept of social justice had impinged on the social conscience... Before the social safety net had even been conceived... By the turn of the 20th Century, the era of the robber barons, Andrew Carnegie (1835-1919) had already accumulated a staggeringly large fortune; he was one of the wealthiest people on the globe. He guaranteed his position as one of the wealthiest men ever when he sold his steel business to create the United States Steel Corporation. Following that sale, he spent his last 18 years, he gave away nearly 90% of his fortune to charities, foundations, and universities. His charitable efforts actually started far earlier. At the age of 33, he wrote a memo to himself, noting ..".The amassing of wealth is one of the worse species of idolatry. No idol more debasing than the worship of money." In 1881, he gave a library to his hometown of Dunfermline, Scotland. In 1889, he spelled out his belief that the rich should use their wealth to help enrich society, in an article called "The Gospel of Wealth" this book. Carnegie writes that the best way of dealing with wealth inequality is for the wealthy to redistribute their surplus means in a responsible and thoughtful manner, arguing that surplus wealth produces the greatest net benefit to society when it is administered carefully by the wealthy. He also argues against extravagance, irresponsible spending, or self-indulgence, instead promoting the administration of capital during one's lifetime toward the cause of reducing the stratification between the rich and poor. Though written more than a century ago, Carnegie's words still ring true today, urging a better, more equitable world through greater social consciousness.

Book excerpt: Since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971-essentially ending sound money and ushering in "elastic money"-we have seen an accelerated deterioration of our society as a whole. Fear, greed and apathy are the new normal instead of vices to avoid. Buying and selling of favors has replaced moral fortitude and personal responsibilityThis book will explore the nexus between Money, Morals and the Machine. We shaped the machine, and it has debased our money and morals. Our challenge now is to undo this by exposing the Machine for what it truly is and how it came to be so all-consuming, describing how it survives today and, most importantly, how to stop it-and bring honesty, integrity and morality back to America.

Book excerpt: For over ten years of my life I’ve been analyzing wealth at the light of spiritual principles, and this journey has led me to many countries and to many business owners and billionaires, which I have analyzed regarding such paradigms. At some point I was able to realize that such spiritual principles were indeed being applied every single time and despite their beliefs. Nonetheless, I did notice as well that I was missing some links, some pieces on this puzzle, in order to fully understand how wealth can be produced in any given situation and with any business idea. From this awareness emerged the knowledge presented in this book. It reveals what I’ve learned regarding the laws that guide wealth when combined with several ancient religious laws, and how I’ve applied them to prosper in my own personal life, in order to now enjoy a lifestyle that allows me to travel where and when I want, and this while living in any country I choose to, but also while making more money as I sleep than many people I know with their daily job. It is, fundamentally, a book based on the conversations I had with many of them, when trying to make them understand why their mind is operating against them and against their wishes. In essence, this book presents an opportunity to shift self-destructive mental patterns and change towards a direction that allows you to obtain what you want from life, while obeying social moral and personal ethics, and also while being positive and spiritual in your whole attitude towards existence.

Excerpt: ... tax; for the early government of Israel was tribal and required no revenue; and the king's income in later times was derived from a special tax and confiscated and conquered lands. It was rather an object lesson to teach the claims of religion and the community upon all the wealth of the individual. Since the worship of Jehovah was the basis of national life, it had the first lien upon every citizen's income. The second tithe is peculiar in being used by the individual, but only in a prescribed manner, viz., at the central Sanctuary in a feast open to all. It was impossible to dictate the use of all wealth by law; but thus the Israelite was taught that even what he spent upon self was so to be spent as to strengthen the sense of national unity and common brotherhood; that private enjoyment is greatest when the whole of tithes the Law, as we have seen, assumes much to be known. If a double tithe were familiar, it would be in accordance with its usual method to take it for granted. Now, if the one-fifth tax of Gen. 47: 24, was actually introduced in Egypt, a double tithe would have been familiar to the Israelites for generations, and would have seemed the natural and proper rate; while if it De legendary, what can it be but the reflection of general later usage? Nor is it true that the Deuteronomist classes ti: e Levite among the needy. So soon as named the reason for benevolence to them is apparent; but in his case the reason is always expressly named--he has no inheritance. In the very passage where he is given so liberal an income, his lack of inheritance is emphasized in the same words. (Num. 18: 20, 23, 24.) The Levite was to share the harvest festival, not because he was a pauper, but for the same reason that the New Englander sends a..
