10 Bizarre Heretics Who Shocked Medieval Europe

Listverse 

We picture Europe before the Protestant Reformation as a faithfully Catholic land, although some historians joke that this is because monks were writing the records at the time. In fact, heretics flourished throughout medieval Europe, and many of them were very weird indeed. 10Leutard And The Bees Around the year 1000, a French peasant named Leutard was tilling a field when he decided to take a nap. He dreamed that that a swarm of bees flew into his body through the tip of his penis. After buzzing around inside him for a while, the bees emerged from his mouth and began stinging him relentlessly, “ordering him to do things impossible for humans.” Leutard awoke believing that the dream was a message ...

Roger Scruton sobre Zizek

Parte 2 da excelente crítica do Filósofo Roger Scruton a Zizek e, de certo modo, a toda confusão mental da new left.
"A lengalenga de Žižek serve a um propósito: desviar a atenção do mundo real, das pessoas reais e do raciocínio moral e político comum. Ela existe para promover uma causa única e absoluta, a causa que não admite críticas nem compromissos e que oferece redenção àqueles que a abraçam. E que causa é essa? A resposta está em todas as páginas escritas por Žižek: Nada" ~ Sir Roger Scruton.

Money Changes Everything: How Finance Made Civilization Possible William N. Goetzmann Hardcover | 2016 | $35.00 | £24.95 | ISBN: 9780691143781 600 pp. | 6 x 9 | 51 halftones. 9 line illus. eBook | ISBN: 9781400881307 | Our eBook editions are available from these online vendors Reviews | Table of Contents Introduction[PDF]

“[A] magnificent history of money and finance.”--New York Times Book Review

“Convincingly makes the case that finance is a change-maker of change-makers.”--Financial Times

In the aftermath of recent financial crises, it's easy to see finance as a wrecking ball: something that destroys fortunes and jobs, and undermines governments and banks. In Money Changes Everything, leading financial historian William Goetzmann argues the exact opposite—that the development of finance has made the growth of civilizations possible. Goetzmann explains that finance is a time machine, a technology that allows us to move value forward and backward through time; and that this innovation has changed the very way we think about and plan for the future. He shows how finance was present at key moments in history: driving the invention of writing in ancient Mesopotamia, spurring the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome to become great empires, determining the rise and fall of dynasties in imperial China, and underwriting the trade expeditions that led Europeans to the New World. He also demonstrates how the apparatus we associate with a modern economy—stock markets, lines of credit, complex financial products, and international trade—were repeatedly developed, forgotten, and reinvented over the course of human history.

Exploring the critical role of finance over the millennia, and around the world, Goetzmann details how wondrous financial technologies and institutions—money, bonds, banks, corporations, and more—have helped urban centers to expand and cultures to flourish. And it's not done reshaping our lives, as Goetzmann considers the challenges we face in the future, such as how to use the power of finance to care for an aging and expanding population.

Money Changes Everything presents a fascinating look into the way that finance has steered the course of history.

Como persuadir

If you want to influence people don't try to persuade them. Use ‘pre-suasion’ instead.

Los Angeles Times Sun, Oct 23

Today and every day we are the targets of salespeople, marketers, advertisers, fundraisers and (heaven knows) politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. And they’re good at it. Over the years, they’ve learned a lot about which features to build into a communication and which psychological strings to strum with that communication to elevate its success. But, by concentrating so intently on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process. Research done in the last fifteen years shows that optimal persuasion is achieved through optimal pre-suasion: the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they know what’s ...

One Of The Five Great Myths Of American Inequality

Forbes 

Cato has produced an excellent little report which looks at 5 of the great myths about inequality in America in recent decades. By and large the American rich have made their own money, not inherited it for example. Look at the listings of rich people compiled by this very magazine for examples, they are dominated by those who made their own money, not those just spending grandpa’s. It’s also not true that the rich stay rich while the poor languish over the generations. Social mobility perhaps isn’t as high as we’d like it to be but it’s comparable with other nations, even with much more equal places like Sweden. We also have to note that inequality and poverty are simply not the same thing. ...

A presunção da desonestidade, além de absurda e injusta, atrasa e encarece a atividade privada e governamental" ~ Ministro Helio Beltrão

 “Government as such is not only not an evil, but the most necessary and beneficial institution, as without it no lasting social cooperation and no civilization could be developed and preserved” [“The Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science,” 1978 edition, p. 98].

IT SAYS something about the power of historical memory that, 132 years after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, it still exerted a strong emotional pull on the German imagination. So much so that, in the days immediately preceding the Anschluss, Adolf Hitler’s military annexation of Austria on March 12, 1938, a Nazi agent was tasked with preventing Austrian patriots from making off with the coronation regalia of the Holy Roman emperors before the incoming Germans could confiscate it.

Clinton’s revolution against the Catholic Church

BostonGlobe.com 

After King Henry VIII broke ties with the Catholic Church because of a dispute over marriage, Catholics were treated very badly. Bishops were locked up. Monasteries were closed. Tens of thousands were executed in the bloody turmoil of the English Reformation. All of which raises an interesting point: If the church wouldn’t change its doctrine for the king of England, what makes Hillary Clinton think she can change it? There are few things more chilling than a person in possession of political power, whether a sovereign or a candidate for president, believing they can rid society of religious beliefs they don’t like. Clinton gave us the first hint of her antireligious attitude in a speech last ...

Eurasia: The World's Largest Market Emerges

Forbes

It is happening subtly but its impact could potentially alter the geopolitical and economic balance of the world: Eurasia, as a contiguous continent stretching from the west of Europe to the eastern coast of China, is slowly being drawn together into a massive market covering 70% of the world’s population, 75% of energy resources, and 70% of GDP. Driving this enhanced concept of an interconnected Eurasia is something that has been haphazardly dubbed the New Silk Road — the modern interpretation of the ancient trade routes, transshipment hubs, and economic corridors that once spanned Europe and Asia — which has been emerging over the past fifteen years. This growing network received a large boost in 2013 when Chinese President Xi Jinping formalized his country’s enhanced participation in it — which included a trillion+ dollars of funding and the political will and direction to actually make the colossal project come together. “Because of the New Silk Road concept, more and more people have started using the term Eurasia,” said Karl Gheysen, the former-CEO of the Khorgos Gateway dry port on the Kazakh/ China border. ...

In 1999, the unemployment rate in the U.S. was just 4.2 percent, compared with 8.6 percent in Germany and 11.3 percent in France. The labor force participation rate (the percentage of the working-age population either with jobs or actively looking for them) was substantially higher in the U.S. than in those countries, too.
The standard explanation that economists offered for this disparity was that U.S. labor markets were less heavily regulated than those in Europe. As sociologists Bruce Western and Katherine Beckett summarized in the American Journal of Sociology in 1999:

In this model, job seeking is intensified by meager state support for the unemployed, and low unionization allows wages to adjust to market conditions. In Europe, institutions introduce inefficiency: large welfare states and strong unions stifle labor demand and reduce work incentives.

Western and Beckett had a different hypothesis. The U.S. had actually engaged in a “sizeable, nonmarket reallocation of labor” in the 1980s and 1990s, they wrote -- by throwing huge numbers of men into prison.

Our central argument is that U.S. incarceration lowers conventional measures of unemployment in the short run by concealing joblessness among able-bodied, working-age men, but it raises unemployment in the long run by damaging the job prospects of ex-convicts after release.

Subsequent labor market developments appear to have borne this out. The U.S. unemployment rate, at 5 percent in September, still looks good -- it’s a little higher than Germany’s, if you go by the harmonized rates that adjust for differences in national unemployment definitions, and a lot lower than France’s. But as has been discussed at great length this election season, this number fails to reflect the fact that millions of Americans have stopped looking for jobs, and thus aren’t counted as unemployed. The U.S. labor force participation rate, among the world’s highest in the 1990s, now lags that of many other wealthy countries.

Liberdade na universidade

Recent talk at Duke by NYU philosopher Jonathan Haidt. He argues that, at this point, left-wing ideology in universities has become so threatening to their core... mission of truth-seeking, that each individual university must consciously choose: will it be an institution that seeks truth, or will it neglect that mission in favor of trying to change the world according to ideology.

Admittedly, some won't even care what happens to the university: emergent private actors will fill the void if universities continue on their suicide pact. If so, nostalgia aside, good riddance.

Economia evolucionária

Frans de Waal: "We tend to think that the economy was killed by irresponsible risk taking, a lack of regulation or a bubbling housing market, but the problem goes deeper. Those were just the little aeroplanes circling King Kong’s head. The ultimate flaw was the lure of bad biology, which resulted in a gross simplification of human nature. Confusion between how natural selection operates and what kind of creatures it has produced has led to a denial of what binds people together. Society itself has been seen as an illusion. As Margaret Thatcher put it: “There is no such thing as society – there are individual men and women, and there are families.” Archive pick: http://bit.ly/1X7eCLM
