Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Kids' Timeconomy: Freedom vs Control helps young readers understand the difference between freedom that helps people grow and control that keeps people small.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Kids' Timeconomy: What Supply and Demand Really Are introduces young readers to one of the most important ideas in economics through simple stories, clear examples, and child-friendly explanations. Instead of treating supply and demand as dry charts or grown-up business language, this book shows children how needs, choices, time, skill, and usefulness shape what people want and what others offer. Readers learn that demand begins when people need or want something that saves time, solves a problem, or makes life better. Supply begins when someone uses skill, effort, tools, and time to provide it. Through everyday examples, the book helps children see markets as human systems where people exchange value, respond to needs, learn from feedback, and improve over time. It explains why some things become more wanted, why shortages happen, why too much of something can lose value, and why good ideas must be useful to others. Warm, thoughtful, and easy to follow, this book helps children understand supply and demand not just as prices going up and down, but as part of the larger Timeconomy idea: human time, skill, and real usefulness are at the heart of value.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Timeconomy: From Cell to CivilizationWhat is the true foundation of value?Not money. Not markets. Not systems.Something far deeper has been unfolding since the first living cell: a continuous expansion in the ability to perceive, to learn, to choose, and to shape reality.We are used to telling the story of life as a sequence of forms: cell, organism, human, society. But beneath those forms lies a more powerful story.This book traces that hidden continuity, from the earliest emergence of life to the rise of civilization, revealing how intelligence evolves, how consciousness deepens, and how human beings become capable not only of surviving, but of directing their own existence.At the center of this journey is a simple but transformative insight: life advances through the increasingly skillful use of limited time.In The Timeconomy: From Cell to Civilization, Murtonen connects biology, consciousness, culture, and civilization into a single unfolding process. The book explores how intelligence emerges from simple beginnings, how awareness becomes reflection and choice, and how human time shapes morality, culture, and progress. It shows why civilization is not separate from life, but its continuation, and what it means to live deliberately within a finite lifetime.This is not a book of abstract theory or ideology. It is a shift in perspective. A way of seeing life as a continuous structure built from attention, effort, and choice, where every moment carries weight and every action leaves a trace.From this perspective, morality becomes a question of how we use our time in relation to others. Culture becomes accumulated patterns of lived time. Civilization becomes the long memory of human attention across generations.This book does not argue. It reveals.And once seen, it changes how everything is understood, from daily decisions to the direction of entire societies.For readers of philosophy, human development, and big-picture thinking, The Timeconomy offers a new lens on life itself.Not just shaped by the world, but capable of shaping it in return.
