English | 2022 | ISBN: B09V3HXVM1 | Format: MP3 / 9 hours and 24 minutes | 801 Mb
A financial revolution is materializing before our eyes. The way individuals, organizations, and governments conduct transactions-from purchasing a book online to acquiring major corporations to delivering billions in financial aid-will look vastly different in the near future. Bitcoin is spearheading this revolution and may be the best investment opportunity of our time, yet most people have yet to understand its promise.
In this book, Bobby C. Lee, one of the earliest pioneers in the cryptocurrency space, debunks myths and dispels fears that surround Bitcoin, arguing that this rational, logical system is superior to traditional monetary systems. He cites signs of Bitcoin’s widening acceptance: a growing community of users worldwide and multiple initiatives for investing in and holding Bitcoin among major financial services organizations and institutional investors who control trillions in assets.
Lee offers a primer on the best strategies for investing in this digital currency, the value of which will only continue to grow. He discusses the pros and cons, and covers the complicated yet more profitable method of acquiring Bitcoin, mining. He offers predictions for the future, including price, trajectory, use, and participation in the larger economy-as well as developments in regulation, technology, business, and society.

Free Download Trevor Norris, "Strong Democracy in Crisis: Promise or Peril?"
English | ISBN: 1498533612 | 2016 | 280 pages | EPUB | 4 MB
This is a robust and relevant collection from a truly distinguished group of political theorists actively rethinking the promise and perils of democracy. The book is coherent in its focus on a common theme and aim: to advance and refine the political project of promoting democratic theory and practice. While the contributors are admirers of the promotion of various models of democracy they also express distinct approaches and concerns. Each builds on and expands the central theme of democracy and ultimately contends with potential limits of current configurations of democratic life. While to some extent they share common concerns they express considerable dissent and fruitful opposition that deepens and advances the debate. Contributors explore democracy from different perspectives: law and constitutionalism, globalization and development, public life and the arts, pluralism, democracy and education, and democratic listening and democratic participation. The contributions point towards new ways of living and thinking politically, new directions for contending with some of the more significant and seemingly intractable political problems, challenging conventional presuppositions about democracy by expanding the boundaries of what kinds of democracy may be possible.
