American Replacement of Nature; The Everyday Acts and Outrageous Evolution of Economic Life Thompson, William Irwin
New York Doubleday Currency 1991 0-385-42025-0 / 9780385420259 First Edition Hard Copy Near Fine Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
159 pages. Stated 1st edition. 1st printing. Book and dust jacket are both in Near Fine condition. From the dust jacket: "This is a guilt-free essay on both the horror and wonder of our greatest work: consumption. No book provides greater insight into the evolving nature of the American consumer, who in the last century wanted perfect products and in the coming century will want a perfect self (via genetic tinkering and mood-altering foods) and perfect experience (via entertainment centers like Disney World and the West Edmonton Mall, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence.) Thompson show us how corporations package the new 'commodities' such as time (we want what seems eternal), space (the beauty of nature combined with the no-pain maintenance of man-made materials), and sound (the most efficient 'selling' medium of all)."

From the dust jacket: The author's "practical, empowering seven-step plan offers an opportunity to break free once and for all from the constricting control of the conspiratorial machinations among the wealthy and powerful that has run the world for far too long - including a point-by-point program for radical reform of the income tax and a proposal to muzzle the Fed, which exerts unconscionable influence over the lives of every American. He shows how ordinary men and women can use modern technology to create a grassroots network able to create independent wealth and power, to defend against the insidious international plot to use race and drugs as weapons against our people and our country; and to reclaim the freedoms guaranteed to us by the Constitution."

Hence the contrast between 'getting and earning' which appears in the title of this book. What this concept of earnings is, what its application will mean in practical measures, and how it will help to solve the age-long problem of inequality, we have set forth in the apges which follow."

From the dust jacket: This book "is specifically an economic commentary -- the first one ever published. What does the Bible require of men in the area of economics and business? What does the Bible have to say about economic theory? Does it teach the free market, or socialism, or a mixture of the two, or something completely different? Is there really an exclusively Christian approach to economics? .... 'The Dominion Covenant: Genesis' sets forth the biblical foundation of economics. It offers the basis of a total reconstruction of economic theory and pratice. It specifically abandons the universal presupposition of all modern schools of economics: Darwinian evolution. Economics must begin with the doctrine of creation."

The Virtual Boss: A Novel Kemske, Floyd
North Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A. Catbird Press 1993 0945774222 / 9780945774228 Stated 1st Edition Hard Copy New New 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Catbird Press, North Haven, CT, 1993. 237 pages. Book is new and both the book and the dust jacket are in New condition, with slight shelf wear on dust jacket. From the publisher: "Everyone wishes for the perfect manager, but few have their wishes fulfilled. What would happen if a software system were developed to act as everyone's perfect manager? In the second of his darkly humorous novels about corporate life, Floyd Kemske has invented a software system that learns each employee's needs and weaknesses, and then exploits them in order to make the employee as efficient and effective as possible. If all you need is a reminder now and then, that's all you get. However, if fear and abuse are what it takes to get you to work, the computer makes your life hell. The Virtual Boss is the story of three people at Information Accuracy, Inc.: Linda, the software specialist who created the system, but is managed by it; Arthur, whose life is a nightmare of intermittent reinforcement, and punishment; and the company president, Donald F. Jones, whose experiences as a manager were so frustrating and ludicrous, he created a company without any human managers at all."
