Knowledge, Power, Wealth and Wisdom


Book Description

Knowledge involves true belief and the realization of one’s own ignorance is the precondition for its attainment. Power is similar to distilled liquor; it will intoxicate and dim the judgment of even the most scrupulous men. Wealth is frequently associated with spiritual poverty and the distribution of wealth in any society exposes its lack of justice. Wisdom is combined with the trinity of values, which are, the absolute truth, the spirit of beauty and complete goodness. The man who is neither good nor wise remains self-satisfied. He has no desire to acquire that to which he feels no need. Aristotle insisted that life is the activity of the mind. Plato insisted that life is a preparation for death.

Knowledge and Power


Book Description

Ronald Reagan’s most-quoted living author—George Gilder—is back with an all-new paradigm-shifting theory of capitalism that will upturn conventional wisdom, just when our economy desperately needs a new direction. America’s struggling economy needs a better philosophy than the college student's lament: "I can't be out of money, I still have checks in my checkbook!" We’ve tried a government spending spree, and we’ve learned it doesn’t work. Now is the time to rededicate our country to the pursuit of free market capitalism, before we’re buried under a mound of debt and unfunded entitlements. But how do we navigate between government spending that's too big to sustain and financial institutions that are "too big to fail?" In Knowledge and Power, George Gilder proposes a bold new theory on how capitalism produces wealth and how our economy can regain its vitality and its growth. Gilder breaks away from the supply-side model of economics to present a new economic paradigm: the epic conflict between the knowledge of entrepreneurs on one side, and the blunt power of government on the other. The knowledge of entrepreneurs, and their freedom to share and use that knowledge, are the sparks that light up the economy and set its gears in motion. The power of government to regulate, stifle, manipulate, subsidize or suppress knowledge and ideas is the inertia that slows those gears down, or keeps them from turning at all. One of the twentieth century’s defining economic minds has returned with a new philosophy to carry us into the twenty-first. Knowledge and Power is a must-read for fiscal conservatives, business owners, CEOs, investors, and anyone interested in propelling America’s economy to future success.




Prosperity


Book Description

This prosperity manual was written from the basis that thought is a substantial influence on the world such as electricity, steam, heat and light. That every person can control, direct, transform and dissipate their thoughts in the same way that manipulates the forces that are evident to their five senses. If the person who takes this book, has studied psychology and metaphysics from this point of view, has undoubtedly had evidence of this power of thought. If you have not done it, then approach this book with an impartial mind willing to investigate and not judge until you have all the evidence and have given a complete judgment to the recommended practices and applications. In many cases, the simple attentive reading of the book will be sufficient to produce a marked change for better in the affairs of one. But the most fervent desire of the author, is not that a person is simply prosperous in their worldly affairs for this volume, but that this little book is the door of a new life. And that you continue, studying other works, of the same nature, until you know all the joy and freedom that many other people have arrived, who have found their peace and happiness living the principles that are defended here. The author will always be happy to listen to those who have benefited from these teachings. Cal. A.R.M. Easter 1913 "Prosperity" by Annie Rix Militz is a book that addresses the theme of prosperity from a spiritual approach. The author argues that the divine mind (superconscious mind) is the only reality and that incorporating the ideas that form that mind into our rational mind and persevering in them, we can develop a powerful inner strength. The author also makes a distinction between worldly wealth and true spiritual wealth and suggests that we must first seek spiritual wealth and then be able to access material wealth. In addition, the book defends that prosperity and spirituality must be linked and that it is the person who must make this union through maintaining the right attitude in the mind and in the heart.
