Marianne Williamson on Money


Marianne Williamson - 1993
    In her lectures The Meaning of Money and Money Spiritualized, Marianne encourages us to change our thoughts about money, where it comes from and how it's used.Poverty, or lack of anything, comes from a belief that we are less than what god made us. god's abundance is available to each of us, and by believing this we can change our attitudes toward money, our work in this world and ourselves.Money is energy and energy is infinite in the universe. by doing what we love to do-and working for love and not for money- we will benefit in many ways, including monetarily. the key is to see money as a neutral entity, neither good nor bad, and find work we love to express God's goodness through our gifts. The money we receive from work can also be used to heal the world through the continuous flow it provides from ourselves to others and back again.Marianne Williamson continues, to expand the growing international audience for her profound yet down-to-earth interpretations of A COURSE IN MIRACLES, the revolutionary self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy.

Monetary Policy in the United States: An Intellectual and Institutional History


Richard H. Timberlake Jr. - 1993
    monetary policy, Richard H. Timberlake chronicles the intellectual, political, and economic developments that prompted the use of central banking institutions to regulate the monetary systems. After describing the constitutional principles that the Founding Fathers laid down to prevent state and federal governments from printing money. Timberlake shows how the First and Second Banks of the United States gradually assumed the central banking powers that were originally denied them. Drawing on congressional debates, government documents, and other primary sources, he analyses the origins and constitutionality of the greenbacks and examines the evolution of clearinghouse associations as private lenders of last resort. He completes this history with a study of the legislation that fundamentally changed the power and scope of the Federal Reserve System—the Banking Act of 1935 and the Monetary Control Act of 1980. Writing in nontechnical language, Timberlake demystifies two centuries of monetary policy. He concludes that central banking has been largely a series of politically inspired government-serving actions that have burdened the private economy.

Dark Victory: The United States and Global Poverty


Walden Bello - 1993
    At the same time, working people in the North find their living standards declining. Dark Victory reveals the roots of these global trends in a sweeping strategy of global economic rollback unleashed by the U.S. to shore up the North's domination of the international economy and reassert corporate control. Bello argues that lower barriers to imports, removal of restrictions on foreign investments, privatisation of state owned activities, reduction in social welfare spending, and wage cuts and devaluation of local currencies - all conditions of structural adjustment loans from the North - have had disastrous consequences. Dark Victory is now reissued with a new epilogue by the authors.
