Taschenbuch. Condition: 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. Condition: Neu. Neuware - You grew up being told the news was the truth. The newspaper said it. The television confirmed it. And because there was nothing else - no alternative source, no second opinion, no way of knowing what had been left out - you believed it. Most of us did.Four Channels is the story of what happens when that trust starts to crack.Growing up in South London in the 1980s with only four television channels and a corner shop newspaper, Sunil Sajjan absorbed the world the way everyone did - through the filter of a small number of institutions that shaped not just what people knew, but how they felt about it. The racial framing in crime reporting that he noticed as a child before he had words for it. The political identity installed in him before he was old enough to choose one. The people he dismissed as conspiracy theorists, without ever checking whether their questions deserved an answer.This book traces the slow, uncomfortable journey from that unquestioning trust to something harder and more honest - examining how language is used to frame events before facts are even presented, how the same donor class funds both sides of a political divide that exists partly to keep the public arguing with each other, how algorithms now do what editors once did but faster, at greater scale, and with no accountability at all. And what it means to navigate all of this in an age where artificial intelligence hasn't yet reached its full potential - and the question of whether we will ever truly know what is real is becoming harder to answer by the day.Four Channels is not a conspiracy theory. It is not an argument for any political party or position. It is an honest account of what one person noticed, over a lifetime, about the gap between what we are told and what is actually happening - and what it might mean to start looking at that gap more carefully.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: 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. Condition: 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.…
