The Ploughman and the Astronaut is not your average financial planning book. This is a finance self-help book for the intellectually curious. It is for people who not only want to learn what to do with their money, but who also want to understand what money means to them, their children, and their community. In exploring this, author Don Nilson takes his readers on a journey to improve their and their family’s lives financially, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically, as the stress of out-of control personal finances becomes a thing of the past. The Ploughman and the Astronaut is a surprising yet successful mix of self-help, philosophy, story-telling, and information on how to manage personal finances. The author has created a unique approach by assimilating concepts from other fields of thought (including genomics, psychology, ecology, and thermodynamics) to the world of personal finance, and by targeting topics to your level of interest and expertise. No matter what your current level of knowledge and experience is with personal finance, reading this book will help you evaluate and reshape how you view, use, and invest money. Most importantly, it will set you and your future generations on the path to WealthNess: A state of abundance of health and material possessions to achieve a life well lived.
In Silicon Valley Imperialism, Erin McElroy maps the processes of gentrification, racial dispossession, and economic predation that drove the development of Silicon Valley in the San Francisco Bay Area and how that logic has become manifest in postsocialist Romania. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and archival research in Romania and the United States, McElroy exposes the mechanisms through which the appeal of Silicon Valley technocapitalism devours space and societies, displaces residents, and generates extreme income inequality in order to expand its reach. In Romania, dreams of privatization updated fascist and anti-Roma pasts and socialist-era underground computing practices. At the same time, McElroy accounts for the ways Romanians are resisting Silicon Valley capitalist logics, where anticapitalist and anti-imperialist activists and protesters build on socialist-era worldviews not to restore state socialism but rather to establish more just social formations. Attending to the violence of Silicon Valley imperialism, McElroy reveals technocapitalism as an ultimately unsustainable model of rapacious economic and geographic growth.
