Have you ever ventured into the intriguing domain of the Apocrypha within the inaugural edition of the 1560 Geneva Bible? A meticulously preserved treasury of ancient religious texts, it comprises a unique anthology of writings excluded from the Hebrew Bible but included in the Septuagint, offering a glimpse into the enigmatic world of antiquity. While not universally accepted as canonical, the Apocrypha yields profound insights into the human experience and matters of faith. The Apocrypha and the Geneva Bible (1560) are both significant entities in the realm of Christian literature and biblical scholarship. Here's a detailed description of each: Apocrypha: The term "Apocrypha" refers to a collection of ancient texts that are not included in the canonical Bible of most Protestant denominations but are part of the biblical canon of the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. These texts are considered by some to be of historical and religious value but are not considered divinely inspired Scripture by all religious traditions. The Apocrypha includes a diverse range of writings, including historical narratives, wisdom literature, and theological treatises, dating from the intertestamental period (roughly 300 BCE to 100 CE). Some of the most well-known books within the Apocrypha include: Tobit: A narrative about a pious Israelite named Tobit and his son Tobias, which contains elements of wisdom literature and angelic intervention. Judith: The story of a courageous Israelite widow named Judith who saves her people by seducing and beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes. Wisdom of Solomon: A philosophical and theological work attributed to King Solomon, which extols the virtues of wisdom and righteousness. Sirach (Ecclesiasticus): A collection of ethical teachings and maxims attributed to Jesus Ben Sirach, promoting practical wisdom and piety. 1 and 2 Maccabees: Historical accounts of the Maccabean revolt against Hellenistic oppression, detailing the exploits of the Jewish leader Judas Maccabeus and his brothers. These texts provide valuable insights into the beliefs, practices, and historical context of Second Temple Judaism and the early Christian era. Geneva Bible (1560): The Geneva Bible was one of the most influential English translations of the Bible during the Protestant Reformation. It was produced by English Protestant exiles who had fled to Geneva, Switzerland, during the reign of Queen Mary I of England, also known as "Bloody Mary" due to her persecution of Protestant dissenters. The Geneva Bible was first published in 1560 and quickly became popular among English-speaking Protestants for its accuracy, readability, and extensive study aids. Discover the secrets and marvels of this sacred text, which exerted an undeniable influence in its time, surpassing even Coverdale's Bible in popularity and inspiring luminaries such as William Shakespeare. As the first mechanically and serially printed Bible made directly available to the general public, its impact was profound. With its Calvinist origins, this Bible served as the primary text for English Protestantism in the 16th century. It was embraced by notable figures such as William Shakespeare, Oliver Cromwell and his soldiers (in the soldier's pocket Bible version), John Knox, John Donne, and others, and found its way to America through the Puritan pilgrims aboard the Mayflower.

MP3 CD Format A renowned economist's classic book on capitalism in the developing world, showing how property rights are the key to overcoming poverty. "The hour of capitalism's greatest triumph," writes Hernando de Soto, "is, in the eyes of four-fifths of humanity, its hour of crisis." In The Mystery of Capital, the world-famous Peruvian economist takes up one of the most pressing questions the world faces today: Why do some countries succeed at capitalism while others fail? In strong opposition to the popular view that success is determined by cultural differences, de Soto finds that it actually has everything to do with the legal structure of property and property rights. Every developed nation in the world at one time went through the transformation from predominantly extralegal property arrangements, such as squatting on large estates, to a formal, unified legal property system. In the West we've forgotten that creating this system is what allowed people everywhere to leverage property into wealth. This persuasive book revolutionized our understanding of capital and points the way to a major transformation of the world economy.

The eagerly awaited English edition of "Bought Journalists" was suppressed for three years under the title "Journalists for Hire" -- and still got 24 five-star-only Amazon reviews from would-be readers. 18 months on the bestseller list in Germany. Now it's finally here! Ever get the feeling the media tries to manipulate or lie to you? You have plenty of company! And you are right -- the facts are in. A world-class media insider has blown the whistle on what really goes on inside the media industry. Author Udo Ulfkotte was a respected journalist for 17 years with Germany's newspaper of record, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. He begins this explosive exposé by first owning up to his own career, where he had to sell out to have the job. He then reveals the deceptive tricks and secret networks of power within the media. How perks are used to bribe journalists and opinion makers to twist their reporting. How the tone of corruption is set from the top -- play along or quit. How the long arm of the NATO press office enrolls the media to get Europe to support more foreign wars. Ulfkotte names hundreds of names and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the organizations that influence the German media with one-sided propaganda, such as The Atlantic Bridge, Trilateral Commission, German Marshall Fund, CFR, and Aspen Institute. He unmasks the intelligence agencies behind these lobbies groups and the propaganda techniques they use, such as US Embassy grants for projects to influence European public opinion. When the CIA holds the hand that holds the pen Would you be surprised to learn that spies sit and write articles in newspaper editorial offices? Which are then published on op-ed pages under the names of well-known journalists? Or which journalists receive bribes for their reporting? Have you heard how prestigious "journalism prizes" are a reward system for cooperation? Much as "Heroes of Labor" were honored for writing the best communist propaganda in the former East bloc. Seen from the inside, the difference between journalist and propagandist isn't as far as you might like. The elite owners of the media feel it's their right to think for us, and to mold public opinion to their agendas. Their Freedom of the Press is Freedom to Censor the news. Our nation depends on the media to understand our world, just as each one of us depends on our eyes and ears. The media are our senses. When they hide the truth, or lie to us, they put us all in danger. A million people died in Iraq, Libya and Syria because the press didn't just report the news, didn't just lie about the news, but they invented and sold the events that served as pretexts for wars. The author spent years in the Middle East, surviving an attack with chemical weapons supplied by US and German firms. This book is a veteran's guide to the media spider's web. It shows how the system works, sharpens your common sense skepticism, and increases your immunity to the controlled media's attempts to do our thinking for us. You will gain a whole new perspective on media reports. A good idea of how much you can believe the news on TV or the radio: almost nothing. Ulfkotte dissects the German media establishment, which media outlets are owned by political parties, the journalists that are under their influence, and what keeps them there. You will see how whole countries are manipulated – and who is pulling the strings and why. Here is the bad news about the news: our idea of a free press with a broad spectrum of opinion is pure fantasy. Very often, what is called the "news" is simply brainwashing.

Where Does Money Come From? reveals how, contrary to public perception, the bulk of today's money supply is created and allocated by commercial banks in their role as providers of credit. The authors argue that this system is inherently unstable, with little effective regulation of how much credit is provided or whether it is used for productive or speculative purposes. Based on detailed research and consultation with experts, including from the Bank of England, Where Does Money Come From? reviews theoretical and historical debates on the nature of money and banking and explains the role of the central bank, the Government and the European Union. This Second edition includes new sections on Libor and quantitative easing in the UK and the sovereign debt crisis in Europe. Praise for Where Does Money Come From? “Refreshing and clear. The way monetary economics and banking is taught in many – maybe most - universities is very misleading and what this book does is help people explain how the mechanics of the system work”. David Miles, Monetary Policy Committee, Bank of England “It is amazing that more than a century after Hartley Withers’s The Meaning of Money and 80 years after Keynes’s Treatise on Money, the fundamentals of how banks create money still need to be explained. Yet there plainly is such a need, and this book meets that need, with clear exposition and expert marshalling of the relevant facts. Warmly recommended to the simply curious, the socially concerned, students and those who believe themselves experts, alike. Everyone can learn from it“. Victoria Chick, Emeritus Professor of Economics, University College London. I used Where Does Money Come From? as the core text on my second year undergraduate module in Money and Banking. The students loved it. Not only does it present a clear alternative to the standard textbook view of money, but argues it clearly and simply with detailed attention to the actual behaviour and functioning of the banking system. Highly recommended for teaching the subject. Dr Andy Denis, Director of Undergraduate Studies, Economics Department, City University, London

Entrepreneurship has been expunged from contemporary mainstream economics despite being an important driver and cause of economic development and growth. However, whereas Evolutionary Economics recognizes value-creative entrepreneurship, its role and impact tend to still be understated and the vast implications not fully understood. This Element attempts to remedy this by theorizing on how entrepreneurship impacts and drives market economies, the implications for economic change and renewal, and how the pursuit of new value creation determines the evolution of an economy. We find that allowing for entrepreneurial new value creation – innovative entrepreneurship – produces a different and more dynamic understanding of the market as a process, the role of knowledge and uncertainty, economic evolution and progress, as well as has important implications for political economy.
