Inhaltlich unver nderte Neuauflage. Dass Geld sich ohne eigenes Zutun "vermehren" kann, wurde schon immer f r moralisch anr chig gehalten. Die Verurteilung des Zinses geht zur ck bis Aristoteles. Dennoch sind Zinsen heute ein selbstverst ndliches Ph nomen unseres Alltags. berwiegen die volkswirtschaftlichen Vorteile der Zinspraxis? Oder untergraben Zinseinkommen gerade den Anspruch auf Ver-teilungs-ge-recht-ig-keit, wie ihn Sozialstaaten erheben? Die Autorin Alexandra Werdes liefert einf hrend einen umfassenden berblick ber die Entwicklung des moralischen Urteils ber den Zins - von der Antike ber Adam Smith und Karl Marx bis zur modernen Volkswirtschaftslehre. Daran anschlie end nimmt sie die g ngigen Zweifel an der Gerechtigkeit des Zinses auf, um sie auf ihre Stichhaltigkeit zu pr fen: In Bezug auf Darlehen untersucht sie, unter welchen Bedingungen Zinsforderungen ungerecht werden. Aus einer zweiten Problem-perspektive analysiert sie die Wirkung von Zinseinkommen auf die gesellschaftliche Verteilung und die Gr nde einer m glichen Beeintr chtigung der Chancengleichheit. Das Buch richtet sich nicht nur an Philosophen und Wirtschaftsethiker, sondern ist gleicherma en eine Anregung f r Ent-scheidungstr ger aus Politik und Wirtschaft und f r alle, die sich mit Ge-recht-ig-keits-fragen und den ethischen Grundlagen der Marktwirtschaft aus-ein-an-dersetzen.
Many modern women are fed up with the status quo that tries to put us into boxes and take away our power. With cultural movements like #MeToo and an ever-changing political climate, we can find ourselves overwhelmed by the powerful emotions and issues that are bubbling up. How do we release the trauma? Deal with the pain? Empower ourselves and move through as a culture? F*ck Like a Goddess is a road map for modern women. As a prominent voice in transformational healing and the divine feminine who has emerged stronger and wiser from her own experiences with sexual abuse, mental abuse, and body shaming, Alexandra Roxo has developed the tried-and-true methods in this book for getting beyond our cultural programming and beginning to live and "fuck" like a Goddess-metaphorically and literally. This book will guide you to see that healing, reclaiming your voice, and stepping into your full security can be magical . . . and will lead to finding power that is truly yours. As Alexandra says, "We are in need of an uprising of messy, wild women, who have reclaimed their bodies, standing in their sacred sexuality for them. We need women living from their own hearts. We need the balance between the fierce and the mindful; the Warrior Woman and the gentle, compassionate lover."

THE BESTSELLING EPIC OF THE GLORY AND THE GRANDEUR INTRIGUES AND PASSIONS OF ANCIENT GREECE...AND THE WARRIOR KING WHOSE CONQUESTS BUILT AN ETERNAL LEGEND. ALEXANDER Volume II: THE SANDS OF AMMONA thousand years after Agamemnon fought the Trojan War. Alexander, the king of Macedonia and descendant of Achilles, follows in the footsteps of Greek legend. He has gathered a mighty force to liberate the Greek cities of Asia -- from legendary Sardis and Miletus to Halicarnassus. But vengeance is just one of Alexander's ambitions. Great oracles and loyal followers claim Alexander is more than mortal -- a powerful warrior, and insatiable scholar, a political genius. Yet, in battle after battle, one man blocks his way. Memnon of Rhodes, a Greek-born mercenary chosen by the Persian Great King to lead his vast army, is a cunning strategist who challenged Alexander's claim to the title of Lord of Asia. In Memnon, Alexander confronts an enemy who inspires his admiration. And in Memnon's wife, Barsine, he finds a woman who captures his heart. But neither bravery nor love can stem the tide of Alexander's destiny. For with Persia defeated, Alexander's thoughts turn to Egypt and beyond...
Between becoming king of Macedonia in 336 BC and his death in 323, Alexander the Great conquered not only the Greek city states but also Persia and as far east as the Punjab in India, as far south as Egypt. Claude Mosse describes the progress of Alexander's career in the first part of her book, while the second examines the effects of his conquests on the history of the ancient, medieval and modern world. Central to the book is the myth of Alexander and how the image of Alexander was created and evolved over the centuries. From the illustrious son of Zeus down to the absolute monarch idealised by Louis XIV, from the valiant knight of the crusaders to the Moslem philosopher-king, the author reveals the gamut of contrasts that make up the legend of this extraordinary hero of history and myth.

Alexander lives his life for two reasons: to protect his mother and keep his one-sided love for Katharine hidden. He is a servant, incapable of reaching the top of the social ladder without help. Chances like that come at a cost, and he is more than willing to pay for it. All does not go according to plan. The woman he loves marries another, the man who tried to kill him becomes his rival, and the fate of his mother changes for the worst. Alexander knows one thing for certain. He cannot turn the time back, just as he cannot become human again. *This book can be read as a prequel to the Helena Hawthorn series.
The ultimate historical adventure novel: the life of Alexander the Great in a single, epic volume.To many he was a god. To others he was a monster. The truth is even more extraordinary.As a boy, Alexander dreamed of matching the heroic feats of Achilles. At eighteen he led the Macedonian cavalry to a stunning victory against the Greeks. By twenty-five he had crushed the Persians in three monumental battles and was the master of the greatest empire the world had ever seen. Men began to call him a god. But behind the legend was another, more complex story.Narrated by his boyhood friend Ptolemy, this is the story of Alexander as you have never heard it before: raw, intimate, thrilling - a story of extraordinary daring and unimaginable endurance; of wanton destruction and murderous intrigue - the epic tragedy of a man who aimed to be more than human.
