The Monkey and the Money: A history of capitalism

Apes that exchange things. That is what we are. At some point around two million years ago, we discovered that we could exchange one thing for another. Since then, humans have continued trading and exchanging things throughout economic history. Clever humans also invented capital, which we used to shape our whole economic system. In this information-packed, entertaining, eye-opening book, Kjell A. Nordström guides us from the collaborative origins of prehistoric bartering to Adam Smith’s concept of specialisation. He shows how we have used our endless inventiveness to transform our planet into a colossal, pulsating bazaar, where everyone is trading with one another all over the world, around the clock. How did we end up here? And what does the future hold for our immense, complex global economy that has now started to appear vulnerable? Dr Nordström provides hope that we will find new ways to continue our endless trading and exchanging. New ways that involve and take into account nature, our other vital source of capital: not created by us, butcrucial to our wellbeing.

Northerners: A History, from the Ice Age to the Present Day

A Waterstones ‘Book You Need to Read in 2022’ The definitive history of the North of England as told through the lives of its inhabitants. A work of unrivalled scale and ambition, Northerners is the defining biography of northern England. This authoritative new history of place and people lays out the dramatic events that created the north – waves of migration, invasions and battles, and transformative changes wrought on European culture and the global economy. In a sweeping narrative that takes us from the earliest times to the present day, the book shows that the people of the north have shaped Britain and the world in unexpected ways. At least six Roman emperors ruled from York. The Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria was Europe’s leading cultural and intellectual centre. Cartimandua, Queen of the Brigantes, deserves to be as famous as Boudica. Neanderthals and Vikings, Central European Jews, African-Caribbeans and South Asians, have all played their part in the making and remaking of the north. Northern writers, activists, artists and comedians are celebrated the world over, from Wordsworth, the Brontes and Gaskell to LS Lowry, Emmeline Pankhurst and Peter Kay. St Oswald and Bede shaped the spiritual and cultural landscapes of Britain and Europe, and the world was revolutionised by the inventions of Richard Arkwright and the Stephensons. The north has exported some of sport’s biggest names and defined the sound of generations, from the Beatles to Britpop. Northerners also shows convincingly how the past echoes down the centuries. The devastation of factory and pit closures in the 1980s, for example, recalled the trauma of William the Conqueror’s Harrying of the North. The book charts how the north-south divide has ebbed and flowed and explores the very real divisions between northerners, such as the rivalry between Lancashire and Yorkshire. Finally, Brian Groom explores what northernness means today and the crucial role the north can play in Britain’s future. As new forces threaten the fabric of the UK again, this landmark book could scarcely be more timely.

Slabscape: Reboot: Slabscape Book 3

Slab is three hundred and fifty years into its voyage home when the lights-and everything else-go out. With zero chance of rescue and no possibility that an alternative power source can be invented and deployed in time, most of the thirty-two million SlabCitizens choose to enter cryo suspension in the fragile hope that if and when they are defrosted, there will still be a slab worth living in. To make matters worse, Council have no option but to elevate self-proclaimed business gurulla Louie Drago to the presidency and leave him hypothetically in charge of a small band of suspiciously gifted people tasked with saving Slab. Not everyone volunteers for the deep freeze. Several million escape in micro-form and the rest are herded into the one place they might survive in for more than a few days, while, as time-to-failure races erratically towards zero, the NAHs desperately seek help from the most improbable of places. Louie only wants to save himself, but Dielle, who still can't accept he is Louie's reset, is on a mission to save his only Hope by making promises he's pretty sure he can't keep. Meanwhile, but not meanwhen, the Cosmic Tit accidentally saves a space-bound life-form that eats moons for breakfast, and things are getting tense in California where, even though it's been displaced into a virtually time-free discontinuity, there may be only a few ten to the trillion years left-and that might not be enough. Slabscape: Reboot is the third in the Slabscape series.
