Title: A Macat Analysis of David Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years

Author: Sulaiman Hakemy

Narrator: Macat.com

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-27-16

Publisher: Macat International Limited.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

David Graeber's 2011 book, Debt: The First 5,000 Years, seeks to overturn hundreds of years of economic theory, specifically the idea that people have a natural inclination to trade with each other and that the concept of money developed spontaneously to overcome the inefficiencies of a bartering system. The US-born social activist uses his training as an anthropologist to trace the histories of money and of debt and reaches the conclusion that money was in fact created by the state as a means of exploiting the poor.

First published at a time of huge economic turmoil around the world, Debt has been warmly received by activists looking for an intellectual foundation for alternatives to capitalism. As an activist himself, Graeber believes people can do better than relating to each other simply by measuring and enforcing debt. He says, "A debt is just the perversion of a promise. It is a promise corrupted by both math and violence."

Why repeat chapter name twice?

Good analysis, but it takes too much time to read chapter number title and repeat it all twice. It feels like 10% of the book is just reading chapter name.

An Academic Bore

Another academic and idealistic mindset not living in the real world. Although many good points are made, it is an unnecessary read.

Great book for Novices, more technicals would be great

God I love this book. As a forex trader for several months now, I realized that the more I knew, the more I don't know. I did not do as well in my first few months trading fx and always wondered why. I particularly enjoyed and found relevance in Chapters 4,5 and 9. Chapter 4 talks about having a trading plan. I find this applicable to all traders, be it novice or veteran, forex or any other derivatives trading. A trader must always have a plan before entering the market. This book enforced this point with good valid explanation. Chapter 5 is about the Dos and Donts of trading. It is always good to be reminded about the common mistakes that traders make. Chapter 9 is about the psychology of trading. The point about validating your emotions was the most influential to me. Emotions often get in the way and traders lose alot of money being emotional. I like how the chapters were very systematic. Got this book as I wanted to see what I have missed out and why I was not seeing results in my forex trading. However I do think that a novice who reads this book must research more about technicals/TA before these things mentioned in the book can apply. Overall great book

Great for beginners

At the end I'm glad to read this book because somewhere it's content were really helpful & informative to me so I would like to recommend this book as well. Huge thanks to the author.

Self promotion

Nothing short of frank advertising for the law firm. This should not be considered a "book."

Title: PostCapitalism

Subtitle: A Guide to Our Future

Author: Paul Mason

Narrator: Paul Mason

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-03-16

Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 19 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of PostCapitalism, written and read by Paul Mason.

From Paul Mason, the award-winning Channel 4 presenter, PostCapitalism is a guide to our era of seismic economic change and how we can build a more equal society.

Over the past two centuries or so, capitalism has undergone continual change - economic cycles that lurch from boom to bust - and has always emerged transformed and strengthened. Surveying this turbulent history, Paul Mason wonders whether today we are on the brink of a change so big, so profound, that this time capitalism itself, the immensely complex system by which entire societies function, has reached its limits and is changing into something wholly new.

At the heart of this change is information technology: a revolution that, as Mason shows, has the potential to reshape utterly our familiar notions of work, production and value and to destroy an economy based on markets and private ownership; in fact, he contends, it is already doing so.

This audiobook has been updated as of March 2017.

Typical socialists not minding the quality

Interesting thesis that is well needed for the modern leftists, and quite a healthy read even for a "neoliberal" as myself (tired of being clumped up with neocons as usual). The problem is that the narrator has frustratingly many breaks where he just quits mid sentence and starts over again.

This is the shit you get when you just leave work when it's not done because your work day is over.

Lots of food for thought, shame about the editing

Mason's overall premise is that capitalism is in crisis and is now in a position where it has to evolve into something new, due to the rise of automation and the sharing economy. He argues that capitalism is inherently unstable, especially in a time of abundance driven by the increasing importance of infinitely copyable information goods in the economy. He spends a long time (perhaps too long) seeking to understand the current situation by looking back at the 200 year history of capitalism, and its critics, particularly Marx. He also spends a good chunk of the book discussing the labour theory of value, and how it relates to an economy where less and less work is done by humans. He finally moves on to outlining a programme for the future, including positing the introduction of a universal basic income to ease the transition from capitalism to postcapitalism.

All in all, a very interesting listen. It's easy to find things to agree with and to disagree with in this book but Mason's enthusiasm and style had me coming back for more. I wish he'd spent a bit more time on the future, and bit less time on the past; every time he seemed about to start talking about the future he seemed to get distracted by putting it in its place the historical context of the Left.

Mason's narration is very good, but a minor niggle that spoiled an otherwise enjoyable listen is that the final product is really badly edited; there are lots of places where the narrator retakes a line that are left in the final audiobook.

A fascinating perspective on economic history...

The historical aspect of this book with especially its critique of Marx and the direction Soviet Russia took was very interesting; some new stuff learned. In this regard it was quite a balanced book. As for a vision of the future it seemed somewhat naive and hopeful.

Title: The Rothbard Reader

Author: Murray Rothbard

Narrator: Jim Vann

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 44 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-13-16

Publisher: Ludwig von Mises Institute

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 29 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

Few economists manage to produce a body of work that boasts a serious following 20 years after their deaths. Murray N. Rothbard is a rare exception. More than two decades since his passing, his influence lives on, both in the work of a new generation of social scientists, and among a growing number of the general public.

One reason for Rothbard's continuing popularity is his ability to reach across disciplines, and to connect them: unlike many contemporary economists, who specialize in increasingly narrow fields within the science, Rothbard's research agenda was expansive and interdisciplinary, covering most of the social sciences and humanities.

Some listeners of this book will already be familiar with Rothbard's major works, such as his path-breaking treatise on economics, Man, Economy, and State. Yet Rothbard also produced hundreds of shorter works for both academic and popular audiences. Unfortunately, many lack the time to explore his writings; what's more, his oeuvre is so enormous it is often difficult to know where to begin.

This book aims to solve these problems by providing a window into Rothbard's achievements in the social sciences, humanities, and beyond. It includes introductory, intermediate, and advanced material, to ensure the book can be enjoyed by listeners of all levels of understanding and familiarity with Rothbard's work. Therefore although it is intended primarily for newcomers, veteran listeners will also find much to discover or re-discover in these minutes.

The individual articles in this collection can be heard in any order; with that in mind, we propose two ways to explore them. Those new to Rothbard's writing may want to begin with the shorter, more accessible chapters that interest them most, before continuing on to more difficult topics. However, we have intentionally arranged the articles and sections so that listeners who prefer a systematic discussion.

Introduction to libertarianism

This book can serve as a great introduction to libertarianism and capitalism/anarchism. It was a much easier language then ordinary scholarly economists write. Various topics are touched upon: History, politics, individualism, economics etc. What an inspiration and source for further reading!

Loved this but...

I loved hearing about the other sides of Rothbard, but there are several odd moments in the reading itself. Some errors were not edited out, so belches and other things are on the recording.

Poor editing

Hearing the voice belch whilst reading and reread sections after errors is not what I expect from a well edited audiobook. Very unprofessional

Title: The End of Alchemy

Subtitle: Money, Banking and the Future of the Global Economy

Author: Mervyn King

Narrator: Roger Davis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-12-16

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Business, Commerce & Economy

Publisher's Summary:

The past 20 years saw unprecedented growth and stability followed by the worst financial crisis the industrialised world has ever witnessed.

In the space of little more than a year, what had been seen as the age of wisdom was viewed as the age of foolishness. Almost overnight, belief turned into incredulity.

Most accounts of the recent crisis focus on the symptoms and not the underlying causes of what went wrong. But those events, vivid though they remain in our memories, comprised only the latest in a long series of financial crises since our present system of commerce became the cornerstone of modern capitalism.

Alchemy explains why, ultimately, this was and remains a crisis not of banking - even if we need to reform the banking system - nor of policy-making - even if mistakes were made - but of ideas.

In this refreshing and vitally important book, former governor of the Bank of England Mervyn King - an actor in this drama - proposes revolutionary new concepts to answer the central question: are money and banking a form of alchemy, or are they the Achilles heel of a modern capitalist economy?

Complicated matt presented undestandebly

Had to stop some periods but then easy to come back. Clear voice to listen to.

Quite a hard read

I was constantly rewinding and ended up buying a hard copy. I would say Mervyn King is not a natural story writer - not a Michael Lewis - and the subject matter is hard. King seems to argue that people 'decide' to 'bring forward future earnings to the present' because they see the low interest rates and overestimate their future earnings (a sort of rational error). I think people just get into debt because they 'can', so I found some of his theorising unconvincing. I liked his 'paradox of policy', which explains why politicians are attracted to Keynesian expansion, because it works short term, but which actually gets them deeper in the s*** long run. This explains something that had been puzzling me - why politicians believe that more debt is a solution to a debt crisis. It is a paradox, comparable to Keynes's paradox of thrift. By the way, there is not really an optimistic ending to this book.

Narration. I found it irritatingly 'Jackanory'. ie. the style is like an adult reading to a child, with exaggerated emphasis on clues as to what will happen next.

Suprised by frankness

What made the experience of listening to The End of Alchemy the most enjoyable?

I had anticipated one book and got another. Anticipating a dryer tome sanitised of harsh truths, however, I received a compelling easy read with some unvarnished heavy opinions, given by a man whose opinions can be codified closer to the real world than most. Highly recommended.

Brilliant and informative book on global financed

Would recommend to anyone wanting to understand how global finances work and the reasons behind previous downturns. Also explains his concerns on different currencies.

Monotonous story, lacking sequence of events

I felt that the story was lacking "and so what" element at times. There was nothing new in Author's slides and several themes were totally repetitive and did not resonate with me. For example, "uncertainty" is a trendy term these days which doesn't really mean much, in my view.
