An Economy of Strangers Jews and Finance in England, 1650-1830 (Jewish Culture and Contexts)


Free Download An Economy of Strangers: Jews and Finance in England, 1650-1830 (Jewish Culture and Contexts) by Avinoam Yuval-Naeh

One of the most persistent, powerful, and dangerous notions in the history of the Jews in the diaspora is the prodigious talent attributed to them in all things economic. From the medieval Jewish usurer through the early-modern port-Jew and court-Jew to the grand financier of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and contemporary investors, Jews loom large in the economic imagination. For capitalists and Marxists, libertarians and radical reformers, Jews are intertwined with the economy. This association has become so natural that we often overlook the history behind the making and remaking of the complex cluster of perceptions about Jews and economy, which emerged within different historical contexts to meet a variety of personal and societal anxieties and needs.

2006 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 1920885366 | EPUB | 2 MB
In January of 1788 the First Fleet arrived in New South Wales and a thousand British men and women encountered the people who will be their new neighbours; the beach nomads of Australia. "These people mixed with ours," wrote a British observer soon after the landfall, "and all hands danced together." What followed would determine relations between the peoples for the next two hundred years.Drawing skilfully on first-hand accounts and historical records, Inga Clendinnen reconstructs the complex dance of curiosity, attraction and mistrust performed by the protagonists of either side. She brings this key chapter in British colonial history brilliantly alive. Then we discover why the dancing stopped . . .

Neighbours and strangers Local societies in early medieval Europe


Free Download Bernhard Zeller, "Neighbours and strangers: Local societies in early medieval Europe "
English | ISBN: 1526139812 | 2020 | 304 pages | PDF | 9 MB
This book explores social cohesion in rural settlements in western Europe from 700-1050, asking to what extent settlements, or districts, constituted units of social organisation. It focuses on the interactions, interconnections and networks of people who lived side by side – neighbours. Drawing evidence from most of the current western European countries, the book Descriptions and interrogates the very different practices of this wide range of regions in a systematically comparative framework. It considers the variety of local responses to the supra-local agents of landlords and rulers and the impact, such as it was, of those agents on the small-scale residential group. It also assesses the impact on local societies of the values, instructions and demands of the wider literate world of Christianity, as delivered by local priests.

You can get two times, 10 times, or 100 times more leads than you currently are without changing anything about what you sell. This book contains the playbooks that took me from sleeping on my gym floor to owning a portfolio of companies that generate $200 million per year in less than a decade. Want to know the biggest difference between those two time periods? How many leads I was getting. The problem is-most business owners don’t know how to get leads. I wrote this book to solve your leads problem. Today, our companies generate 20,000+ new leads per day across 16 different industries. And they do it using the eight "never-go-hungry" playbooks inside. Once you see them, you can’t unsee them. They’re so powerful, they work without your permission. And the best part is…you can use these playbooks to get more leads within an hour of listening to this book. You just have to know where to look…and the first place is inside.
