Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Most of us are taught how to earn money and how to spend it. Very few of us are ever taught how our history, our upbringing, and the patterns we formed in childhood shape the way we relate to it.For Sunil Sajjan, money was never just numbers. It carried emotion, mood, relief, fear, and shame - often all at once, around the same transaction.In this raw, honest account, Sunil traces how a childhood spent watching money transform his mother's emotional state became the blueprint for decades of spending, gambling, and financial chaos. From his first credit card at eighteen to bankruptcy at twenty-eight. From winning £90,000 in a single night - and losing every penny - to finally understanding why no amount of money could fix a broken relationship with it.This is not a book about budgeting or financial success. It is a story about what money really means when it's been used to regulate feelings it was never meant to carry. And about what becomes possible when you finally learn to let it rest.The Inner Algorithm: My Relationship With Money is Book Two in the series by Sunil Sajjan. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1839, the Qing Empire governed more people than any other state on Earth, presided over the largest economy in the world, and dictated the precise terms on which it would permit foreign merchants to trade with it at all. By 1860, that same empire had been defeated twice in a row by expeditionary forces a fraction the size of its own armies, had ceded sovereign territory outright, had been forced to legalise a narcotic its own government had spent decades trying to suppress, and had watched foreign troops burn one of its own emperors' great palaces to the ground as a calculated act of humiliation.This is the story of how that happened. A trained surgeon who built a fortune addicting an entire nation, then personally lobbied his own government to go to war to protect it. A Qing commissioner of genuine and rare integrity, who wrote directly to Queen Victoria appealing to basic shared morality - and received no reply. A young consul who built a war from a ship's flag he almost certainly knew was not flying. A missionary's brutal death, seized upon as convenient justification for an alliance neither government actually needed an excuse to pursue. And a calculated act of cultural destruction, weighed deliberately against the alternative of attacking an emperor's own capital.This is the story of a war fought to keep a drug trade flowing, and of the treaty system it produced - a cascading framework of concessions that would come to define China's relationship with the rest of the world for the following century, and that remains, in China's own political memory, a live and contested reference point to this day.This book is a direct continuation of this series' earlier volume, The History of the East India Company, which first examined the commercial machinery behind this trade in full.Part of The History of. series.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A trench one hundred miles long, dug largely by hand through open desert by peasants who received no wages and often no genuine choice in the matter, would go on to reshape the entire pattern of global trade, provoke a war deliberately manufactured by three governments acting in secret collusion, and remain, more than a century and a half after its completion, one of the most strategically contested strips of territory on Earth.This is the story of Ferdinand de Lesseps, a disgraced diplomat who succeeded not through engineering genius but through a childhood friendship that happened to mature at exactly the right moment. Of hundreds of thousands of Egyptian peasants, conscripted from their own villages and marched into open desert, who died in numbers historians still debate but that no credible estimate places below twenty thousand. Of a canal that ran through Egyptian soil, was defended by Egyptian labour, and for eighty-seven years paid its profits to shareholders in London and Paris who never dug a single foot of it.It traces the canal's role in two world wars, a revolution led by a peasant's son who would go on to challenge two declining empires, and a secret treaty three governments spent decades denying ever existed - a conspiracy so carefully concealed that one Prime Minister personally shredded his own government's copy. It ends with the pound sterling in freefall, an American President refusing to be used as what he called 'a cat's paw,' and a verdict historians still repeat today: that this crisis marked the end of Britain's era as one of the world's major powers.Part of The History of. series.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1600, two hundred and eighteen London merchants received a royal charter granting them a licence to compete for a share of the East Indies spice trade. By the time it was finally dissolved two hundred and seventy-four years later, that same private company had raised an army larger than Britain's own, conquered most of the Indian subcontinent, and ruled directly over some two hundred million people who never once had a say in the matter.This is the story of how that happened - told not through the abstraction of policy and profit alone, but through the individual people who built it, profited from it, resisted it, and were eventually destroyed by it. Robert Clive, a suicidal young clerk who found in warfare the outlet his troubled temperament had never located elsewhere. Warren Hastings, whose seven-year impeachment trial became one of the most sensational spectacles of the eighteenth century. Bahu Begum, whose independently held fortune made her one of the Company's most formidable obstacles in northern India. Tipu Sultan, whose rocket artillery innovation outlived the war he fought to defend his kingdom.It is also the story of a famine that killed millions while the Company's own profits doubled. Of an opium trade deliberately engineered to addict an entire nation. Of a private army recruited with its own eventual rebellion specifically in mind. And of the rebellion that came anyway - the one that finally, unavoidably, forced Parliament to strip a corporation of the sovereign power it had spent two and a half centuries accumulating.This book covers the Company's own rule, from 1600 to 1858. The formal British Raj that followed is a separate story, for a future volume in this series.Part of The History of. series.…
