Eine prägnante Einführung in Hugo Stinnes und sein mächtiges Industrie-Imperium, das Deutschland nach dem Krieg neu formte. Dieses Buch untersucht das Leben eines der prominentesten Industriellen Deutschlands und die Entstehung großer Konzernstrukturen im rheinisch-westfälischen Revier. Es beleuchtet, wie Stinnes’ Leadership, Familiendynamik und strategische Verknüpfungen über Kohle, Erz und Elektrizität hinweg eine neue Wirtschaftsordnung prägten – jenseits von Einzeltiteln und einzelnen Betrieben. Der Text verknüpft Biografie, Unternehmensführung und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen zu einem umfassenden Bild der deutschen Trust-Bildung. Er vergleicht deutsche Strukturen mit amerikanischen Modellen und zeigt, wie Dezentralisierung und Integrated Business Modelle das Rohstoff- und Fertigungsnetz zusammenführten. Leser erhalten Einblicke in Motive, Machtverhältnisse und die gesellschaftliche Wirkung dieser Großkonzerne. * Wie Stinnes ein vielstufiges Konzernnetz aus Rohstoffgewinnung, Weiterverarbeitung und Vertrieb formte. * Wie deutsche Trusts sich von amerikanischen Vorbildern unterscheiden und warum Zentralisierung anders funktioniert. * Welche Rolle Familienführung, Mitarbeiterschaft und politische Einflüsse im Konzernspiel spielen. * Welche Auswirkungen die Konzentration großer Industrieunternehmen auf Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft hatte. Ideal für Leserinnen und Leser, die sich für Wirtschaftsgeschichte, Industriekonzern-Entwicklung und das deutsche Wirtschaftsleben der Zwischenkriegszeit interessieren.

Do you think you know something about Bitcoin and Austrian Economics? If so you may be ready for Cryptoeconomics. This is not a work for the uninitiated. The content is dense – it does not repeat itself. It is not a contribution to the echo chamber, will not show you how to set up a wallet, the future price, or what to do. Cryptoeconomics applies rational economic principles to Bitcoin, demonstrating flaws and unnecessary complexities in them, and in common understandings of Bitcoin. It will improve your understanding of both. Bitcoin requires a new, rigorous, and comprehensive discipline. This is it. Bitcoin is something new. It seems to defy understanding. Has there ever been a fixed supply money? Is there another case of production cost varying directly with product price? Is there anything else with a competitive yet fixed rate of transactability? To see past the hype, understand the value proposition, security model, and economic behavior, this may be your only source. Bitcoin is economics, technology, and security. Without incorporating all of these aspects, errors will be made. Economists, technologists, security experts, and even numerologists have attempted to explain it. Each brings a limited perspective, failing to incorporate essential aspects. The author found himself uniquely qualified to integrate them. His work in Bitcoin began with a hardware wallet. He spent a year analyzing threats, working with electronics design, hardware exploitation, and state surveillance experts. He chose the Libbitcoin software library, as Satoshi’s prototype was not factored for development and was largely financed by the Bitcoin Foundation, a corporate consortium. He later dedicated himself to Libbitcoin, eventually writing or editing all of its ~500,000 lines of code. Few have comparable experience with such a comprehensive Bitcoin stack. As a combat-experienced fighter pilot in the U.S. Navy he experienced state threats. He became a highly-qualified Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor, in which his primary role was tactics analysis and threat presentation. He also advised for the Navy on the Strike Fighter Training System network, Joint Strike Fighter, early GPS weapons, and F/A-18 systems. His understanding of the physical nature of all security was enhanced by decades of training in Japanese martial arts, achieving black belt rankings in five disciplines. His degree and experience in computer science mixed with extensive business experience, founding several companies. He has worked at IBM and as a Principle Architect at Microsoft, two of the world’s largest companies. The latter purchased his first startup, and his second was acquired by Veritas Capital. He was awarded three related U.S. patents. Eventually he became an angel investor, sharing his experience with other entrepreneurs. As CTO of his first company he published three computer security advisories via Computer Emergency Response Team. Each was derived entirely from his reading of user documentation. Later he earned a seat on the DHS Open Vulnerability Assessment Language advisory board for his work on software patching. In recent years he uncovered material security flaws in each of the first three iterations of a popular “secure element” hardware wallet, again from review of user documentation. Thirty years of self-study in free market economics was reinforced by extensive global travel. In visiting over 80 countries he has interacted with people on five continents. Still often traveling on a motorcycle with only a shoulder bag, he obtains intimate understanding of global economic realities. From Zimbabwean black market currency traders, to Tanzanian coffee pickers, Venezuelan refugees, Mongolian shepherds, Okinawan jazz musicians, Lao monks, etc. – the world is not as often presented. The ability to integrate these diverse and relevant experiences led to Cryptoeconomics. This is your next stop.

Social media is changing the community. Several may speak up, but under such apparent freedom of expression, an undercurrent of conformity, obedience, self-censorship, and fear dominates. This is how tolerance turns into intolerance and political freedom into totalitarianism. Distinctive attitudes and individuality are replaced by group affiliation, where those who think differently are ostracized. We sense something disturbing: A community moving toward greater control. And a growing risk of politics with totalitarian features that, instead of fighting for freedom, wants to curtail it.

Desmontando la leyenda negra desde Bartolomé de las Casas hasta el separatismo catalán. «En Madre patria, el profesor Marcelo Gullo Omodeo demuestra que lo que está pasando ahora en España, en su contexto histórico y geográfico, es imposible de separar de la América hispana. Las cuentas pendientes son las mismas: afianzar las democracias y conjurar la inestabilidad territorial, cara y cruz de la misma moneda. Sorprende que el autor viva la profunda crisis que España atraviesa con tanta implicación y más sentido de la responsabilidad que muchos españoles». María Elvira Roca Barea En este monumental libro, Marcelo Gullo Omodeo demuestra que la leyenda negra fue la obra más genial del marketing político británico. Que, de manera inconcebible, los españoles se han creído la historia de España e Hispanoamérica que escribieron sus enemigos tradicionales, y se avergüenzan de un pasado del que deberían sentirse orgullosos. Que Hernán Cortés no fue el conquistador de México, sino el libertador de cientos de pueblos indígenas que estaban sometidos al imperialismo más feroz que ha conocido la historia de la humanidad: el de los aztecas. Que no fueron Pizarro y el puñado de españoles que lo acompañaban los que pusieron fin al imperialismo totalitario de los incas, sino los indios huancas, los chachapoyas y los huaylas. Que las masas indígenas en Colombia, Ecuador y Perú se mantuvieron fieles a la Corona española hasta el final. Que los libertadores Simón Bolívar y José de San Martín no quisieron romper de forma absoluta los vínculos que unían a América con España, sino que buscaron con todas sus fuerzas la creación de un gran imperio constitucional hispanocriollo con capital en Madrid. O que la responsabilidad de la disolución del Imperio español la tuvo Fernando VII, que prefirió estar preso en Europa y no libre en América. Concluye el autor señalando que nada separa a España de América, ni a América de España, salvo la mentira y la falsificación de la historia, y que el futuro de ambas depende de que sean capaces de desterrar para siempre el mito de la leyenda negra de la conquista española de América.

El Dalai Lama nos ofrece el mensaje sereno de un hombre que ha conquistado la paz interior. En El arte de la felicidad el Dalai Lama nos ofrece el mensaje sereno de un hombre que ha conquistado la paz interior y sabe que la felicidad no es un don, sino un arte que exige voluntad y práctica. Lejos de las grandes teorías y muy cerca de las preocupaciones cotidianas de cada uno, de nuestros miedos y nuestros deseos, el maestro se ha servido de la ayuda de un psiquiatra occidental para entregarnos unas palabras que nos orienten en la vida diaria. Solo así seremos capaces de convertir el deber de vivir en el placer de sentirnos vivos en un mundo donde casi todo es posible, incluso la felicidad.
