The co-host of the popular NPR podcast Planet Money provides a well-researched, entertaining, somewhat irreverent look at how money is a made-up thing that has evolved over time to suit humanity's changing needs. Money only works because we all agree to believe in it. In Money, Jacob Goldstein shows how money is a useful fiction that has shaped societies for thousands of years, from the rise of coins in ancient Greece to the first stock market in Amsterdam to the emergence of shadow banking in the 21st century. At the heart of the story are the fringe thinkers and world leaders who reimagined money. Kublai Khan, the Mongol emperor, created paper money backed by nothing, centuries before it appeared in the west. John Law, a professional gambler and convicted murderer, brought modern money to France (and destroyed the country's economy). The cypherpunks, a group of radical libertarian computer programmers, paved the way for bitcoin. One thing they all realized: what counts as money (and what doesn't) is the result of choices we make, and those choices have a profound effect on who gets more stuff and who gets less, who gets to take risks when times are good, and who gets screwed when things go bad. Lively, accessible, and full of interesting details (like the 43-pound copper coins that 17th-century Swedes carried strapped to their backs), Money is the story of the choices that gave us money as we know it today.
Workable Sisterhood is an empirical look at sixteen HIV-positive women who have a history of drug use, conflict with the law, or a history of working in the sex trade. What makes their experience with the HIV/AIDS virus and their political participation different from their counterparts of people with HIV? Michele Tracy Berger argues that it is the influence of a phenomenon she labels "intersectional stigma," a complex process by which women of color, already experiencing race, class, and gender oppression, are also labeled, judged, and given inferior treatment because of their status as drug users, sex workers, and HIV-positive women. The work explores the barriers of stigma in relation to political participation, and demonstrates how stigma can be effectively challenged and redirected. The majority of the women in Berger's book are women of color, in particular African Americans and Latinas. The study elaborates the process by which these women have become conscious of their social position as HIV-positive and politically active as activists, advocates, or helpers. She builds a picture of community-based political participation that challenges popular, medical, and scholarly representations of "crack addicted prostitutes" and HIV-positive women as social problems or victims, rather than as agents of social change. Berger argues that the women's development of a political identity is directly related to a process called "life reconstruction." This process includes substance- abuse treatment, the recognition of gender as a salient factor in their lives, and the use of nontraditional political resources.

Financial Therapy by Bradley T. Klontz,Sonya L. Britt,Kristy L. Archuleta Pdf
Money-related stress dates as far back as concepts of money itself. Formerly it may have waxed and waned in tune with the economy, but today more individuals are experiencing financial mental anguish and self-destructive behavior regardless of bull or bear markets, recessions or boom periods. From a fringe area of psychology, financial therapy has emerged to meet increasingly salient concerns. Financial Therapy is the first full-length guide to the field, bridging theory, practical methods, and a growing cross-disciplinary evidence base to create a framework for improving this crucial aspect of clients' lives. Its contributors identify money-based disorders such as compulsive buying, financial hoarding, and workaholism, and analyze typical early experiences and the resulting mental constructs ("money scripts") that drive toxic relationships with money. Clearly relating financial stability to larger therapeutic goals, therapists from varied perspectives offer practical tools for assessment and intervention, advise on cultural and ethical considerations, and provide instructive case studies. A diverse palette of research-based and practice-based models meets monetary mental health issues with well-known treatment approaches, among them: Cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused therapies. Collaborative relationship models. Experiential approaches. Psychodynamic financial therapy. Feminist and humanistic approaches. Stages of change and motivational interviewing in financial therapy. A text that serves to introduce and define the field as well as plan for its future, Financial Therapy is an important investment for professionals in psychotherapy and counseling, family therapy, financial planning, and social policy.

Castles & Buttons-(Book One) How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing (Susan James) by Susan James Pdf
Castles & Buttons-(Book One) How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing (Susan James) Advanced Higher Mechanics Castles & Buttons (Book One) How to Have Everything by Doing Nothing Advanced Higher Mechanics Castles-Buttons The Same, But How? One of the first phrases I latched onto in my beginning study of higher things, was the phrase mentioned in Abraham-Hicks material, ‘Castles and Buttons are the same.’ My first thought was, ‘how can that be?’ And since I have an investigative nature, I set out to find out, just how, Castles and Buttons are the same. For those new to the study of metaphysics, and things of a higher nature, the phrase ‘Castles and Buttons are the same’, implies, that it is just as easy to create a Castle as it is a button. It’s as easy to create a wonderful expansive lifestyle, as it is to live in the ruins of one. Again, I asked.. ‘How in the world can that be? And if it is true, how can it be easy?’ The entire Castle’s series is about my belief in ‘the Promises’ and my getting there. I want you to know, I’ve been where you are, and I’ll give you examples of how I’ve expanded beyond it. I’ll give you things to try, which worked for me. Things which helped me find out for myself, that yes, indeed, Castles and Buttons are the same. And...We can have what we want without all of the doing, and without ‘goofin’ it up first, as was the sub-title of one of my first books, and Editors Choice winner, Manifesting 101 & Beyond. Castle’s is based on The Ideal. The Law. And this law says, that only the best of the best is the only thing that we should be choosing. The Best. The Best of The Best. Castle’s is about not settling for less than what we really want. And most importantly, forget about anything other than Plan A. There is no Plan B, once we understand what we have in our hands. We’ll use examples that are of your life. And I know they are of your life, as I’ve lived it. I’ve had the broken cars, broken finances, broken relationships, but my understanding of what I had hold of, as long as I would practice and apply it, would move all of my mountains and moved me smack dab in the middle of my castles. It brought new and better in everything. Things showed up without struggle and strife and concern. Then it became automatic. Automatic, as in when it turns dusk the lights on the light pole automatically come on. Automatic as in breathing and walking without having to think about it first. Automatic as coin in the drink machine, drink plops out. Automatic as when we play the card game ‘Free Cell’, we make one move and many others automatically are moved for us. Automatic is becoming The Genie. Some of the themes covered in Castles & Buttons-Book One: • Bricks Without Straw: Unlimitedness-Doing The Impossible, Easily • How Do We Begin Having Our Castles and Not Settling For The Buttons? • Profusion Abundance (The Opposite of The Other Shoe Dropping) • The Opposite of Limited is Not Un-Limited • When The Ton of Bricks Becomes An Avalanche (And What To Do About It) • A Done Deal Example From My Beginning Days of Understanding • How Long Do I Use The Swords, and How Long Before We See Results? • The Golden Parachute vs The Golden Wheelbarrow • Quantum Manifesting Accelerated: Sword Statements • The Learning Curve of Not Having To Do Anything Manifestation • A Shortcut to Easy and Automatic Enjoy the entire Castle’s and Buttons Series and you too may then understand how creating Castles or Buttons is the same and everything you want is already there for you!

Farley has created a marvelously engaging and diverse set of characters, at the center of which is a nerdy Jamaican American with a philosophical bent and his cohort of oddballs struggling to win a spot on Harvard's brainy humor magazine, which provides a springboard for Farley to dive into the ethics of comedy, among other subjects." --National Book Review, included in Monday's 5 Hot Books "For anyone who likes satire, this quick-witted tale...catches a bundle of truths about a very particular and powerful corner of our world." --New West Indian Guide "Around Harvard Square [is] C.J. Farley's fun novel about an exceptional Jamaican student-athlete facing class and race issues to get a spot on an elite Harvard University humor magazine." --New York Daily News, included in CaribBeat column "C.J.

Not so fast! Once on campus, he's ensnared in a frenzied competition to win a spot on Harvard's legendary humor magazine, the Harpoon.

Examining the interaction between families and professionals in the child welfare system of New York, this book focuses on how inequalities are reproduced, measured, managed, and contested. The book describes how state institutions and neoliberal governance police the groups which are most represented in the child welfare system, including low income, female-headed families living in racialized neighborhoods. The book also shows how these forms of policing produce unstable terrains, and give rise to contestation among families, communities, and professionals. It questions and re-thinks how state welfare and protection is administered.
