Book excerpt: "Frenzied Finance" by Thomas William Lawson is a scathing exposé of Wall Street and the financial practices that led to the Panic of 1907. Published in 1905, the book caused a sensation with its sensational revelations about corruption, manipulation, and greed in the world of high finance. Thomas William Lawson, a former stockbroker turned reformer, pulls back the curtain on the inner workings of the stock market and the machinations of powerful financiers. He exposes various fraudulent schemes, market manipulations, and insider trading tactics employed by wealthy bankers and speculators to manipulate stock prices and exploit the investing public. One of the central themes of the book is the phenomenon of "stock watering," whereby unscrupulous operators artificially inflate the value of stocks through misleading financial reports, false rumors, and other deceptive tactics. Lawson vividly describes how investors are lured into speculative frenzies, only to be left holding worthless securities when the bubble bursts. Moreover, Lawson criticizes the complicity of government officials, regulators, and even the media in perpetuating the culture of greed and corruption on Wall Street. He argues that the financial elite wield disproportionate power and influence over the economy, manipulating markets for their own enrichment at the expense of ordinary investors. "Frenzied Finance" is not merely a critique of Wall Street; it is also a call to action for reform. Lawson advocates for greater transparency, accountability, and regulation in the financial industry to prevent future crises and protect the public interest. He urges investors to educate themselves and exercise caution when navigating the treacherous waters of the stock market. Despite its sensationalist tone and controversial claims, "Frenzied Finance" had a significant impact on public opinion and helped galvanize support for financial reform in the early 20th century. While some of Lawson's assertions may have been exaggerated or sensationalized, his book remains a compelling indictment of the excesses and abuses of Wall Street during the Gilded Age.

Download or read book The Theology of the Book of Revelation written by Richard Bauckham and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993-03-04 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Revelation is a work of profound theology. But its literary form makes it impenetrable to many modern readers and open to all kinds of misinterpretations. Richard Bauckham explains how the book's imagery conveyed meaning in its original context and how the book's theology is inseparable from its literary structure and composition. Revelation is seen to offer not an esoteric and encoded forecast of historical events but rather a theocentric vision of the coming of God's universal kingdom, contextualised in the late first-century world dominated by Roman power and ideology. It calls on Christians to confront the political idolatries of the time and to participate in God's purpose of gathering all the nations into his kingdom. Once Revelation is properly grounded in its original context it is seen to transcend that context and speak to the contemporary church. This study concludes by highlighting Revelation's continuing relevance for today.

Download or read book A Journey to Flanders and Holland written by Sir Joshua Reynolds and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey to Flanders and Holland in the year 1781, first published in 1797 in the Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds, is Reynolds's perceptive account of the pictures which he saw in the Austrian Netherlands, the United Provinces and the Rhineland in 1781. The Journey is here published separately for the first time, in a new edition which is also the first to include explanatory notes on the pictures mentioned by Reynolds and to illustrate all those which he discussed in any depth. Harry Mount provides an introduction which sets the Journey in its context and draws on unpublished material from Reynolds's notebooks to give insights into his critical procedures. All in all, this edition of the Journey makes an important contribution both to the history of the reception of Netherlandish art and to our understanding of the development of art theory and criticism in eighteenth-century England.

Download or read book Energy in Australia written by Graham Palmer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-09 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With rapidly declining costs and seemingly unlimited sunshine, the choice of solar in Australia seems obvious. Yet despite its many advantages, homes with solar remain completely dependent on the electricity grid for reliable supply, which in Australia implies mostly coal-fired generation. Indeed, even countries that have invested heavily in solar, such as Spain and Germany, have been unable to deflect the trajectory of fossil fuel dependence. The reasons for this apparent paradox are varied, and this book provides a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the practical applications of photovoltaics (PV) in modern electricity systems. While the conventional life-cycle assessment (LCA) boundaries as prescribed by the IEA-PVPS provide a consistent methodology for comparing evolving PV technologies, the narrow boundaries exclude many critical downstream energy costs. Similarly, simple cost comparisons of PV versus conventional power sources overlook the significant economic and energy costs of intermittency and grid integration. Yet distributed storage, which could provide potentially valuable network support, is frequently given a low priority by advocates of solar. Treating PV as an extension of, rather than as a substitute for, the fossil fuel enterprise enables a more productive discussion of PV’s potential role in electricity generation. The sunburnt country of Australia, which has a modern electricity system, is an ideal case study for exploring the potential of solar PV. With a focus on rooftop solar, energy storage, grid integration, and electricity system issues, Energy in Australia offers valuable insights into the practical challenges of solar power. Although many national economies are already confronting a downward trend in energy return on investment (EROI) of oil and gas from both conventional and unconventional sources, the large-scale deployment of low-emission energy sources that lie below a critical minimum EROI threshold may ultimately prove counter-productive.
