This book contains a series of articles commenting on the global financial crisis. Explanations of the main causes of the global financial crisis are provided along with descriptions of the operations and processes of the institutions involved. Critiques of the actions implemented by governments and central banks are included along with alternative solutions, which may provide remedies and new insights to the difficulties seen in the financial sector in recent years. There is no favoured political stance, although some articles may relate to left or right wing views. The book looks at the global financial crisis purely from an economic perspective, with an agenda of promoting ideas intended to create progress. As the book is the first volume of articles putting forward the progressive Morganist school of economic thought, the emphasis of the content is to provide original approaches to improve economic and financial policies globally.

This booklet contains a series of articles putting forward original suggestions of how to achieve economic growth in an extremely constrained environment. Economic growth is becoming the most viable method of resolving rising national debt issues. The existing methods of reducing the increasing private and public sector debts have become limited as a result of market forces and political pressure. Outgrowing debt is favourable compared to cuts in consumption and government spending. New techniques to enable greater economic growth are provided including expanding Governmental Commerce, Internationally Commercialised Innovation, Taxation Efficiencies, Supplementary Income and alterations in Pension Saving Payment Allowances. The booklet offers a fresh approach to macroeconomic policy, which will help to stimulate growth and enable new business operations. The new economic tools devised will give politicians alternative options to avoid implementing hard hitting policies.

This book contains the macroeconomic and pension reform paper, "The Pension Problem and the Current Pension Rebate" which was originally published electronically in 2006. The paper was sent to various government ministers starting what became continually extensive communication between Morganist Economics and politicians. This movement developed new macroeconomic and pension policies that were implemented to stabilise the economy. After the high level of application of the contents of the paper and the implementation of the recommended pension reforms, put forward by Morganist Economics, the targeted rates of economic growth and inflation were attained between 2010 to 2019. Public sector debt cost efficiencies were achieved by rearranging governmental pension taxation relief liability payments, through altering the methodology of annually contributing into pension schemes. The new concepts and technical workings in this paper led to unprecedented economic stability and tremendous governmental financial savings between 2010 to 2019. Pension saving has been optimised and the implementation of the new Morganist school of economic thought has become an extremely successful reality. Pension saving is now a macroeconomic tool in its own right, proven effective by its extensive application within the United Kingdom. The paper was originally well received, being acknowledged with great support from various politicians and government ministers. The former Chancellor of the Exchequer the Rt Hon George Osborne, confirms this in a letter enclosed in this book. Although it has mainly been adopted by the Conservative party, aspects of the Morganist school of economic thought have been well utilised by all of the mainstream political parties within the United Kingdom.

The evaluation of European Economic Governance assessing weaknesses in aggregate demand control.

Archaeological discoveries indicate that early man, even in a primitive state, made tools to produce and control sound. Music has evolved right along with us. From the perspective of Western (European) culture, all known older, more advanced forms of music developed in the East. The first civilizations of Central Asia, the Middle East, and the Nile had music with well-developed applications, as did the Greeks and Romans, who follow them in our history books. The geographical regions now dominated by China and India, and the Turkic peoples spreading westwards from Mongolia, all had their own, as well as shared, variations of percussion, string, and wind instruments, as well as vocal music. During the millennia since then, Western culture has undergone constant increasingly rapid and advanced development, and so has its music; during the sixteenth century it was spread into the Americas, eventually achieving total domination. Soon after, colonial activity also forced East Asia and eventually the rest of the world to deal with Western culture, which affected and often threatened native cultures. Get a detailed look at history from a musical perspective with this scholarly work by a musicologist who is an expert in stringed musical instrument history and development.

What is ‘social capital’? The enormous positivity surrounding it conceals the instrumental economic rationality underpinning the notion as corporations silently sell consumer data for profit. Status chasing is just one aspect of a process of transforming qualitative aspects of social interactions into quantifiable metrics for easier processing, prediction, and behavioural shaping. A work of critical media studies, Social Capital Online examines the idea within the new ‘network spectacle’ of digital capitalism via the ideas of Marx, Veblen, Debord, Baudrillard and Deleuze. Explaining how such phenomena as online narcissism and aggression arise, Faucher offers a new theoretical understanding of how the spectacularisation of online activity perfectly aligns with the value system of neoliberalism and its data worship. Even so, at the centre of all, lie familiar ideas – alienation and accumulation – new conceptions of which he argues are vital for understanding today’s digital society.

How America's high standard of living came to be and why future growth is under threat In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable. Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, motor vehicles, air travel, and television transformed households and workplaces. But has that era of unprecedented growth come to an end? Weaving together a vivid narrative, historical anecdotes, and economic analysis, The Rise and Fall of American Growth challenges the view that economic growth will continue unabated, and demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 cannot be repeated. Gordon contends that the nation's productivity growth will be further held back by the headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government, and that we must find new solutions. A critical voice in the most pressing debates of our time, The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come.
