The Untold Story of a Family

Gudang Garam follows the life of Gudang Garam founder Surya Wonowidjoyo's family through his early years, beginning in the early 1920s when his family moved from China Fuzhou to Indonesia, and traces his life from utter poverty as an Indonesian diaspora to founding the cigarette factory in Indonesia in the 1980s. In a parallel story, we follow the life of a young beautiful ballerina- Lelly, who eventually becomes the third wife of Surya in a romantic love story.

 Foundations of Real-World Economics&nbsp;Humans evolved to experience work as pleasurable and continued to find it pleasurable for the first 98% of our history, often likening it to play. The negative associations we see now with “work” stem from the extreme inequality and exploitation accompanying the rise of the state 5,500 years ago. Consequently, today many people view work negatively, seeing it as a means to gain income to enable consumption as opposed to serving as a means for creativity, community, and self-fulfillment.
 In 
 Why We Must Work
 , Jon D. Wisman draws upon economics, philosophy, evolutionary psychology, social anthropology, and history to explore how work has been experienced and understood over the course of history. In addressing current conditions, he notes the absurdity that, while we live with unparalleled abundance, some workers suffer unemployment and most are not free in their workplaces, often being bossed about. Equally absurd, given our abundance, is the extreme inequality that results in pervasive insecurity, stress, and pessimism. Laissez-faire ideology legitimates the public policies that generate this inequality and these work conditions while depicting ever greater consumption as opposed to meaningful work as the means to greater happiness.
 Wisman offers an attractive alternative vision of our future, grounded in two reforms to make work again fulfilling: guaranteed employment and workplace democracy. Guaranteed employment would provide security and eliminate poverty while providing everyone with the social and self-respect of being a productive member of society. Measures to bring about worker ownership and control of their firms would bring freedom and democracy to the workplace. Both reforms conform to cherished values while preserving capitalism’s two principal institutions of private property and markets.&nbsp;Jon D. Wisman
 is Professor of Economics at American University in Washington, DC. He served as President of the Association for Social Economics in 2002, has twice been selected by American University as Outstanding Teacher of the Year, and was named American University’s Scholar/Teacher of the Year in 2023. He was also a recipient of the 2023 Veblen-Commons Award, in recognition of his significant contributions to evolutionary institutional economics.

Why We Must Work

Stadt und Gesellschaft

Auch wenn die Stadt Köln es in der Frühen Neuzeit vermied, in Konflikte hineingezogen zu werden, spielte der Faktor Militär im Alltagsleben eine häufig unterschätzte Rolle. Ein Großteil der männlichen Bevölkerung tat Dienst in den Bürgerfahnen, und die geworbenen Soldaten bildeten mit ihren Familien eine eng mit ihren zivilen Nachbarn verwobene Militärbevölkerung. Hinzu kam fremdes Militär, v.&nbsp;a. zahlreiche Werber, die sich auf dem "Gewaltmarkt" Köln bedienten. Bürgermeister und Rat nutzten die sich in die ganze Stadt ziehenden Fäden militärischer Organisation, um Herrschaft und Verwaltung zu stabilisieren. Zugleich bildeten sie Mechanismen der obrigkeitlichen Kontrolle über die bewaffnete Macht aus, die eine Alternative zur Entwicklung in den großen Armeen in Flächenstaaten darstellten.

In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.In a career that has seen him face coup leaders in his native Ivory Coast and lead some of the most prestigious Western financial institutions, Tidjane Thiam has blazed a trail through African and European politics and business.After a childhood in tumultuous west and north Africa, Thiam broke barriers in the elitist world of French higher education, becoming one of the first black consultants at McKinsey and Company before entering the Ivorian government. After a coup forced him into exile, he joined the world of finance, where his rise saw him named as CEO of Prudential in London and Credit Suisse in Zurich. Along the way, he was trained and supported by many both in the public and private sector who made his many achievements as a leader possible. However, his rise to prominence as the only African, black and Muslim boss of large Western corporations was also accompanied with disproportionate public and media scrutiny, as well as racism and xenophobia.A blend of autobiography, business, politics, and personal philosophy, his book offers a unique vantage point on corporate and political life in Africa, Europe, the United States and Asia. In a story that spans from his father's politically motivated imprisonment to the business principles that took Thiam to the top of global finance, he shares a personal and professional story that is equal parts inspirational and aspirational.

About Daily Anxieties: A Month in the Life of an Ad Executive Was the phone on the cradle when you started your fusillade of profanity? Why aren't there retirement parties in your industry? Why does your alma mater publicly invest in every academic discipline except yours? These types of questions leap beyond the "Sunday scaries" that fluster people in other lines of work. They are the fodder of endless and indelible ruminations for advertising professionals, and they are the topic of this book. But Daily Anxieties is more than a catalogue of industry quirks -- it's a strangely comforting and witty companion for anyone who has ever survived a pitch week, navigated a client meltdown, or tried (and failed) to leave work at the office. For those already in advertising, these pages offer the warm reassurance that all the odd pressures, sleepless nights, and existential questions aren't personal flaws but shared occupational hazards. There's a certain relief in seeing your private frustrations reflected with honesty, humor, and just enough absurdity to make them feel survivable. For anyone thinking about entering the profession, this memoir doubles as an illuminating caveat. It presents the relentless pace, emotional whiplash, and institutional contradictions that often greet them once they arrive. It's an unvarnished look at what the business really demands, offering newcomers a clearer sense of the psychological terrain before they step onto it. Daily Anxieties is a month-long immersion into the questions, crises, and small victories that define life in advertising -- a mirror for insiders, and a reality check for those wondering whether to join them.

Gesundheit, Kommunikation und Gesellschaft

Die Public Health Humanities verstehen Gesundheit und Krankheit als kulturell und sozial geprägte Phänomene. Sie ergänzen die empirisch orientierte Multidisziplin Public Health um geisteswissenschaftliche und künstlerische Perspektiven. Dabei fragen sie nach der Bedeutung des Künstlerischen für die Gesundheit, interessieren sich für moralische, soziale und kulturelle Dimensionen von Gesundheit und Krankheit in Kunst bzw. Medien und bieten theoretische Zugänge für gesundheitliche Analysen an. Bezugsdisziplinen sind u.a. Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichte. Die Beiträger*innen leuchten das Spektrum unterschiedlicher Perspektiven und Zugänge der Public Health Humanities erstmals auf Deutsch aus.

Die Gestaltung zukunftsfähiger Hochschullehre erfordert mehr als punktuelle Innovationen. Wie können Lernen und Lehren didaktisch gestaltet und Offenheitskompetenzen aufgebaut werden? Im Kontext gesellschaftlichen Wandels versammeln die Beitragenden interdisziplinäre Perspektiven, die ein differenziertes Bild der Lehre an Hochschulen zeichnen. Dabei diskutieren sie nicht nur theoretische Ansätze, sondern schauen auch auf die gemeinsame Praxisentwicklung - mit dem Ziel, Bildungsforscher*innen, Hochschuldidaktiker*innen und Lehrenden aller Disziplinen Inspirationen, Konzepte und Erfahrungen für eine lernförderliche, adaptive und resonante Lehre im digitalen Zeitalter zu liefern.

The life of a crusading federal judge who stood up and fought for "the little guy"This is the story of Miles Lord (1919–2016), who rose from humble beginnings on Minnesota's Iron Range to become one of the most colorful and powerful judges in the country, described as "an unabashed Prairie populist" and "a live-wire slayer of corporate behemoths." He cut a wide swath through history on his path to the bench: coming of age alongside a cadre of young Midwestern social-gospel progressives, including Hubert H. Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, and Walter Mondale, in the days before they reached national fame; teaming with Bobby Kennedy as a hotshot prosecutor in pursuit of Jimmy Hoffa; and serving as the secret envoy between his friends Hubert and Eugene in their battle for the soul of the Democratic party in the historic 1968 presidential campaign. Later, after donning his black robe, he reshaped jurisprudence with precedent-breaking rulings – on issues ranging from women's rights to consumer protection to education reform – and breaking trail when he ordered the shutdown of the Reserve Mining Company in northern Minnesota, which was spewing its waste into Lake Superior, in the most sensational trial of the early environmental era.One of Judge Lord's landmark cases – and interlaced as a centerpiece narrative of this book – involved the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device, which caused horrific infections in thousands of women, resulting in infertility and sometimes death. Author Roberta Walburn served as the judge's law clerk during that litigation in 1983–84, and she provides a page-turning account (both an insider's view and an in-depth chronicle) of what was called "one of the most disastrous episodes of American corporate misconduct." In the end, more than 200,000 women received nearly $3 billion in compensation, and the Fortune 500 defendant was left in ruins. But Judge Lord was hauled up on judicial misconduct charges for his no-holds-barred actions that were certainly provocative but also stand as a timely reminder, even (or especially) today, of the challenges in balancing the scales of justice for a legal system that too often skews to the rich and powerful.The author deftly weaves the Dalkon Shield drama into the larger story of the life of a one-of-a-kind man, crafting a sweeping and spirited true-life tale with not only her first-hand experiences as the judge's law clerk but also with unrestricted access to the judge's personal files. This is a rare and compelling portrait of a remarkable man and his place in both Minnesota and U.S. history.

Beyond the Sky is the second volume of the autobiography of global financier, philanthropist, adventurer and explorer-Per Wimmer. Described by a commentator as "a true Indiana Jones meets 007 James Bond" figure, Wimmer's life story is far from ordinary and very much driven by a constant desire to push boundaries. In 2007, Wimmer founded his own investment bank, Wimmer Financial. He also supports numerous charities financially with a particular view to inspiring children to live out their dreams. His penchant for exploration and adventure has taken him to 85countries, a world land speed record attempt, crossing the USA on a Harley-Davidson motorbike, living with the Indians of the Amazon Forest and sky diving over Mount Everest. This second part to his story tells how Wimmer Financial became one of Europe's leading merchant banks in global real estate, natural resources and industrials, going on to win prestigious awards. And we read more about Wimmer's exploration adventures, including becoming the first Dane private citizen to fly into space on board Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic
