📒The Psychology Of Sympathy ✍ Lauren Wispé
✏The Psychology of Sympathy Book Summary : The origins of this book probably go back to Gordon Allport's seminar in social psychology at Harvard during the late 1940s and to the invitation from Gardner Lindzey, some years later, to contribute a section on "Sympathy and Empathy" to the International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences (1968). Since those early beginnings, the book has been "in the process of becoming. " During that time I have benefited greatly from the knowledge and assistance of many colleagues, especially the following, who read and commented upon portions of the manuscript: Raymond Gastil, the late Joseph Katz, David McClelland, Jitendra Mohanty, Paul Mussen, Richard Solomon, and Bernard Weiner. To Kenneth Merrill for a close reading of the Hume material and to M. Brewster Smith for a careful reading of and suggestions on Chapters 7 and 8, I am especially indebted. Beverly Joyce withstood constant interruptions to provide much-needed library assistance, and Vivian Wheeler gave generously of her excellent editorial experience and knowledge. A fellowship at the Battelle Research Center in Seattle and an appointment as a visiting scholar at Harvard were of incalculable help, providing opportunity, stimulation, and freedom from teaching responsibilities. To all of the above I am deeply indebted. Just a few words about the organization of this book.

📒The Confession Of A Trust Magnate ✍ George Allen Yuille
✏The Confession of a Trust Magnate Book Summary : THE CONFESSION OF A TRUST MAGNATE Picture the combined navies of the world anchored off our seaboard cities, the combined armies of the world in possession of our inland cities, envoys from each nation congregated at Washington partitioning our country, the entire population being apportioned as slaves to do the bidding of the conquerors. Would you be interested? An equally appalling situation confronts the people of this country to-day. Read of it in the following pages. "In this magnificent country of ours there is a growing unrest. Workers complain of hardships in terms of employment and housing accommodations, poverty is attendant upon many, and the cost of living has become oppressive to a large majority of the inhabitants. Formerly affluent people have been compelled to forego their accustomed luxuries and those previously in comfortable circumstances are now forced to practice the most rigid economy to make ends meet. While these conditions exist, it is noticeable that a comparatively few are amassing fabulous fortunes and becoming absolute dictators of the big business affairs and the government of our country." That was written in 1911. It could have as easily been written today -- 2012. Discover the 100+ year-old Big Business Conspiracy that keeps Most of the American Population ---------- that’s YOU and ME, folks ----------- in Economic Bondage to the Extremely Wealthy (even if you happen to consider yourself to be "Rich", too) as a Result of their Hoarding our National Resources and Manipulating our Monetary System . . . AND WHAT YOU CAN DO (even as a little guy) TO STOP THIS OPPRESSION! In 1911, George Allen Yuille broke ranks with his fellow big business moguls and wrote an exposè about money. No. More than an exposè. It was a bearing of his soul and a sincere apology for usurping the power of his fellow citizens through his belief in his Divine Right to control the destiny of others. The honesty and simplicity by which Mr. Yuille pulls back the curtain to teach us about money and expose the hypocrisy practiced in the manipulation and usurpation of our money is truly unsurpassed. It must have caused quite a stir! The Confession of a Trust Magnate (copyright 1911) is a masterful explanation of how money works by George Allen Yuille, a powerful and wealthy man at the beginning of the 20th century. Hopefully, we (the people of 2014) will heed Mr. Yuille's warnings, learn from our mistakes, embrace his solutions, and create a brighter tomorrow. Read The Confession of a Trust Magnate. Learn what the 1% don’t want you to know about how money works.
