Grand Pursuit By Sylvia Nasra - Book Review
Book Description
In a sweeping story, the author of the megabestseller A Lovely Mind takes us on a trip with contemporary history with the men and ladies who altered the lives of each individual in the world. It's the epic story of the making of modern-day economics, and of how economics saved mankind from squalor and deprivation by putting its product fate in its very own hands as opposed to in Fate. Nasar's account starts with Charles Dickens and Henry Mayhew observing and releasing the condition of the poor majority in mid-nineteenth-century London, the richest and most glittering place on the planet. This was a brand-new pursuit. She describes the typically brave efforts of Marx, Engels, Alfred Marshall, Beatrice and Sydney Webb, and the American Irving Fisher to put those ideas into action-- with cutting edge effects for the globe.
From the wonderful John Maynard Keynes to Schumpeter, Hayek, Keynes's disciple Joan Robinson, the influential American financial experts Paul Samuelson and Milton Freedman, and India's Nobel Reward winner Amartya Sen, she demonstrates how the insights of these protestor thinkers transformed the world-- from one city, London, to the developed nations in Europe and America, and now to the entire world. In Nasar's remarkable narrative of these discoverers we witness men and women replying to personal dilemmas, world wars, revolutions, economic turmoils, and each other's.. (Read More)

The Alchemist By Paulo Coelho - Book Review
Book Description
"My heart hesitates that it will have to suffer," the boy informed the alchemist one night as they searched for at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the worry of suffering is even worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has actually ever before suffered when it enters search of its dreams.".
The Alchemist is the wonderful tale of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who desires to travel in search of a worldly treasure as elegant as any ever before found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the marketplaces of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.
The story of the treasures Santiago discovers along the way instructs us, as a few stories have actually done, about the necessary knowledge of hearing our hearts, learning to check out the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
Every couple of decades a book is released that alters the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. (Read More)
