Download or read book Trust in Troubled Times written by Brett Sheehan and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book traces the development of banking and paper money in republican Tianjin in order to explore the creation of social trust in financial institutions. Framing the study around Bian Baimei, a conscientious branch manager of the Bank of China, Brett Sheehan analyzes the actions of bankers, officials, and local elites as they tried to overcome political and financial crises and instill trust in the banking system. After early failures in promoting trust, government authority as a regulator of the financial system gradually increased, peaking in 1935, when the state unified the money supply for the first time in several hundred years. Concurrently, when local elites proved unable to develop successful strategies to make people trust the system, their influence declined. The need for trust in increasingly complex financial arrangements redefined state-society relations, simultaneously enhancing state power and creating new constraints on the actions of both elites and governments. Trust in Troubled Times is a valuable new perspective on the economic, social, and political history of modern China.

Book excerpt: If you would like to get into a positive, faithful mindset in this time of global fear, this is the most important book you will read. But before I tell you about it, let me make something perfectly clear. This isn't one of those books that promises you results for doing nothing. Here's the deal. What you're getting is a method that has worked great for me, that allows my life to naturally unfold without stress or worry. You will still have setbacks, but they will work out for your advantage, as you learn to see them as sign posts rather than a reason to be upset annoyed or worried. But I'm not suggesting that everyone who reads this book is going to receive the same results. As I don't know how committed to creating a better life the people who read this are. It's likely that most won't see any change at all (especially if they don't follow the advice given). So, with that understood, let me tell you. Exactly what you're getting This is dramatically different from anything you ever read, because it's more of a "guide" to reprogram your mind, than a traditional "book". The reason why is because there's no fluff or filler. It immediately gets down to brass tacks, showing you exactly what you need to do, how to do it, and why. Plus, it's an easy read. At just 40 pages, you can read it on your lunch. And you will immediately "get" the methodology I use to remain calm and grounded when everyone around me is fearful and panicking. In times of fear most people make decisions that they later regret. Don't be one of those people. Strike the fear from your heart and submerse your mind in faith. Within these pages, you will get one of the most powerful pieces of scripture for receiving God protection. Said daily you will become settled and calm. You will gain confidence in a time of uncertainty. Finding ways to navigate the days and weeks ahead. Strengthening your faith consists of taking a few important steps. Take one of those steps today.
