The Conundrum Of Assets & Money

Book 1 of 259 Trillion Vs 5 Trillion Series

By: Sharif Rahman,Amy Norwood

259 Trillion Vs 5 Trillion book series describes the workings of our economy, in a way that will excite anyone, by incorporating hundreds of illustrations and beautiful charts, coupled with remarkable descriptions and explanations, yet everything was designed to be as simple as possible. The use of difficult terms and lingo of economics were avoided by the authors to present their thought provoking explanations in simple, plain English. The authors are not economists by education, they are experienced engineers, hell bound to dissect the economy in interesting ways using their methodical approach routinely used by engineers in solving everyday problems. Their method is guaranteed to amaze the reader because each time, they would start at the root of the problem and take the readers to the right answer. The use of paper money and other types of money is discussed at length in this series and finally the answer of whether money is printed out of thin air will be revealed. In fact, the authors listed more than 20 common fallacies and answered all of them in the book series including hyperbolic or exponential functions, more and more debt, the Federal Reserve and central banks, the use of interest on loans to suck money out of the economy, the bank's conspiracy to own everything and many others. This extraordinary book series was painstakingly written with a rarely seen before method of graphics and downloadable video combinations to create the most comprehensive explanation of economic fundamentals, and certainly will be some the most interesting economic books you will ever read. The burning questions you had kept inside for so long will be answered once and for all! The first book describes the common misconception between money and assets. The concept of asset doubling when gold is used as money is presented in an exciting way. The failure of many people to understand this important but never presented before concept, ultimately hastened the demise of the gold standard. If money is created from another asset class, for example rare metals, the amount of assets in the economy will need to double. This doubling will occur, without any corresponding increase in the real, actual wealth in the economy. The origin of money is explained carefully with illustrations, and how money is used in our everyday lives, from the original issuer, right to the end user. The first book of the series listed more than twenty conspiratorial claims, which will be answered throughout the series. In the first book, the authors took on several of these claims such as whether money should be made from valuable item (such as gold) or whether the imposition of interest would suck money out of the system. The book also explains why money must come from debt and the misconception on money's intrinsic value. This first book of the series is designed to be simple, unlike the 2nd book which is heavy on fractional reserve banking and how it operates. Book 1 of the series is fun to read and the thinnest in the series, yet without understanding the differences between money and asset, a reader will have difficulties in understanding fractional reserve banking and many other vital topics throughout the series. The authors created movie presentations for most of the concepts they presented in their book series, and they give them all away in their website for free download. The movie presentations made to accompany the book was one of their interesting ideas to explain the economy in a simple way. You can take your time to understand the workings of the economy and you can repeat them easily, show and discuss with your friends and families. It is time for America to awake from its slumber, from a misdirected, self-fulfilling prophesies of doom, gloom and failures. The future is still great for America, yet the country is fast sliding into the abyss, unless the correct path is taken.

Ibn Taymiyyah on Jihād and Baghy (Penerbit USM)

By: Mohd Farid Mohd Sharif

Ibn Taymiyyah is one of the best-known figures of medieval Islam. He has also been seen as the initiator of the idea of reformation in the Muslim world in the 13th century. His views on many social problems of his age reflect a pragmatic orientation, and in consequence his impact on succeeding generations has been profound. Though there are some studies of Ibn Taymiyyah’s life and works, they have failed to focus adequately on his jihād and baghy concepts and theories. Therefore, this book aims to: • contribute to the study of early Islamic political thought • consider how the terms jihād and baghy have developed and been expanded from the structure established by the Qur’an and hadith • examine the relationship between jihād and baghy in Islamic law • reveal the pivotal role of the imām in politics • explain why Ibn Taymiyyah upheld jihād against the Mongols, the Franks and the heretic Shi‘ah Referring to all those discussions, this book undoubtedly is an essential text for those who are interested in understanding the relationship between Ibn Taymiyyah’s concepts of jihād and baghy.

The Personal History of a Bukharan Intellectual

The Diary of Muḥammad Sharīf-i Ṣadr-i Ziyā

By: Muḥammad Sharif-i Ṣadr-i Ziyā

Sadr-i-Ziya's Diary lends valuable perspective to numerous studies narrowly focused upon the modern Reformists (Jadids) of his area. It also, and perhaps in the first place, reveals the endless occupational and mortal uncertainties tormenting a Central Asian Islamic judge practicing his profession within an aged political and economical system deteriorating during the last decades, ca. 1880-1920, of the state of Bukhara. By supplying a Bukharan intellectual's personal history, Sadr-i Ziya, author, poet and calligrapher, also reveals himself as an admirable human being who enjoys life but endures the repeated, scalding experience of losing beloved children, their mothers, and other family members, in an era when medicine and prayer scarcely deterred the multitude of prevailing inflictions. Nothwithstanding this strong focus upon his personal life, Sadr-i Ziya provides an unparalleled view of the central role played by the omnipresent religious hierarchy in his homeland.

Ibn Taymiyya on Reason and Revelation

A Study of Darʾ taʿāruḍ al-ʿaql wa-l-naql

By: Carl Sharif El-Tobgui

In Ibn Taymiyya on Reason and Revelation, Carl Sharif El-Tobgui offers the first comprehensive study of Ibn Taymiyya’s ten-volume magnum opus, Darʾ taʿāruḍ al-ʿaql wa-l-naql (Refutation of the conflict of reason and revelation). In his colossal riposte to the Muslim philosophers and rationalist theologians, the towering Ḥanbalī polymath rejects the call to prioritize reason over revelation in cases of alleged conflict, interrogating instead the very conception of rationality that classical Muslims had inherited from the Greeks. In its place, he endeavors to articulate a reconstituted “pure reason” that is both truly universal and in full harmony with authentic revelation. Based on a line-by-line reading of the entire Darʾ taʿāruḍ, El-Tobgui’s study carefully elucidates the “philosophy of Ibn Taymiyya” as it emerges from the multifaceted ontological, epistemological, and linguistic reforms that Ibn Taymiyya carries out in this pivotal work.

Arafat and the Dream of Palestine

An Insider's Account

Arafat and the Dream of Palestine

An Insider's Account

By: Bassam Abu Sharif

Abu Sharif was one of the world's most notorious and dangerous terrorists in the 60's and 70's, acting as "minister of propaganda" for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and as a recruiter for terrorists like Carlos the Jackal. In 1972, a bomb was placed in a book and sent to him, leaving him half-blind, deaf in one ear, and almost fingerless. Finally abandoning the use of violence as a means to achieve his Palestinian nationalist aspirations, he aligned himself with Yasser Arafat, eventually becoming one of his closest advisors. In this book, Abu Sharif, often alongside Arafat, takes us behind the scenes of all the major events in the Middle East during the last 30 years, from the secret caves in the West Bank where Arafat hid on his way to Jerusalem in 1967 to the peace negotiations in Oslo in 1993. Arafat and the Dream of Palestine combines a deeply personal account, informed by Abu Sharif's close relationship with Arafat, with a gripping, profoundly human history of Palestine.

Dacca

A Study in Urban History and Development

By: Sharif Uddin Ahmed

Originally published in 1986, this work discusses the development in Dacca of western-style municipal organization and its financial and practical problems and also explores the economic transition of the city after 1840. It is one of the few urban studies which carries through from the ‘old order’ to the new administrative towns of British rule and attempts to show what happened to the communities of townsmen in the period of adaptation. It casts new light on the function and organization of Indian urban societies in the colonial period, on the transfer of western institutions and the organization and composition of Bengali trade outside Calcutta.

Poverty Reduction - An Effective Means of Population Control

Theory, Evidence and Policy

By: Mohammed Sharif

This book contends that high fertility is rational in that it achieves short term economic benefit and long term old age-support for families. Wider macroeconomic effects are not the concern of the individual family. This means that the fertility choices of the poor are not a result of ignorance. The objective of this book is to drive home the fact that it is poverty that is responsible for high fertility and that until the problem of poverty is effectively dealt with the problem of high fertility will continue to persist. The book concludes with a series of policy recommendations for the eradication of poverty.

Risk Journalism between Transnational Politics and Climate Change

By: Ingrid Volkmer,Kasim Sharif

This book introduces a new methodology to assess the way in which journalists today operate within a new sphere of communicative ‘public’ interdependence across global digital communities by focusing on climate change debates. The authors propose a framework of ‘cosmopolitan loops,’ which addresses three major transformations in journalistic practice: the availability of ‘fluid’ webs of data which situate journalistic practice in a transnational arena; the increased involvement of journalists from developing countries in a transnationally interdependent sphere; and the increased awareness of a larger interconnected globalized ‘risk’ dimension of even local issues which shapes a new sphere of news ‘horizons.’ The authors draw on interviews with journalists to demonstrate that the construction of climate change ‘issues’ is increasingly situated in an emerging dimension of journalistic interconnectivity with climate actors across local, global and digital arenas and through physical and digital spaces of flows.

Weighting Methods and their Effects on Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model Outcomes in Water Resources Management

By: Noorul Hassan Zardari,Kamal Ahmed,Sharif Moniruzzaman Shirazi,Zulkifli Bin Yusop

This book provides a systematic way of how to make better decisions in water resources management. The applications of three weighting methods namely rating, ranking, and ratio are discussed in this book. Additionally, data mining on keywords is presented using three popular scholarly databases: Science Direct, Scopus, and SciVerse. Four abbreviated keywords (MCDM, MCDA, MCA, MADM) representing multi-criteria decision-making were used and these three databases were searched for different popular weighting methods for a period of 13 years (2000-2012). The book provides also a review of weighting methods applied in various multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods and also presents survey results on priority ranking of watershed management criteria undertaken by 30 undergraduate and postgraduate students from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

Econometric Analysis

An Applied Approach to Business and Economics

By: Sharif Hossain

For the last four decades, the uses of econometric tools and techniques, irrespective of discipline, have been increasing rapidly for solving problems, appropriate decision-making and policy formulation. Generally, it is accepted that the study of modern business and economics is incomplete without a proper knowledge of econometric tools and techniques. In view of the increasing complexity and variety of problems in business and economics, students and researchers may not be able to cope and hence may remain unfamiliar with many aspects of business and economic problems. Thus, this book was written to explore basic and advanced studies of econometrics for undergraduate and graduate students of business and economics, as well as for researchers already engaged in these fields who require an introduction to econometric methods and their application for solving of real-life problems. The book offers a balanced presentation of fundamental and advanced levels of econometric concepts and methods, along with practical examples of their effective application in real-life problems.

Race, Revolution, and the Struggle for Human Rights in Zanzibar

The Memoirs of Ali Sultan Issa and Seif Sharif Hamad

By: G. Thomas Burgess,Ali Sultan Issa,Seif Sharif Hamad

Zanzibar has had the most turbulent postcolonial history of any part of the United Republic of Tanzania, yet few sources explain the reasons why. The current political impasse in the islands is a contest over the question of whether to revere and sustain the Zanzibari Revolution of 1964, in which thousands of islanders, mostly Arab, lost their lives. It is also about whether Zanzibar's union with the Tanzanian mainland--cemented only a few months after the revolution--should be strengthened, reformed, or dissolved. Defenders of the revolution claim it was necessary to right a century of wrongs. They speak the language of African nationalism and aspire to unify the majority of Zanzibaris through the politics of race. Their opponents instead deplore the violence of the revolution, espouse the language of human rights, and claim the revolution reversed a century of social and economic development. They reject the politics of race, regarding Islam as a more worthy basis for cultural and political unity. From a series of personal interviews conducted over several years, Thomas Burgess has produced two highly readable first-person narratives in which two nationalists in Africa describe their conflicts, achievements, failures, and tragedies. Their life stories represent two opposing arguments, for and against the revolution. Ali Sultan Issa traveled widely in the 1950s and helped introduce socialism into the islands. As a minister in the first revolutionary government he became one of Zanzibar's most controversial figures, responsible for some of the government's most radical policies. After years of imprisonment, he reemerged in the 1990s as one of Zanzibar's most successful hotel entrepreneurs. Seif Sharif Hamad came of age during the revolution and became disenchanted with its broken promises and excesses. In the 1980s he emerged as a reformist minister, seeking to roll back socialism and authoritarian rule. After his imprisonment he has ever since served as a leading figure in what has become Tanzania's largest opposition party As Burgess demonstrates in his introduction, both memoirs trace Zanzibar's postindependence trajectory and reveal how Zanzibaris continue to dispute their revolutionary heritage and remain divided over issues of memory, identity, and whether to remain a part of Tanzania. The memoirs explain how conflicts in the islands have become issues of national importance in Tanzania, testing that state's commitment to democratic pluralism. They engage our most basic assumptions about social justice and human rights and shed light on a host of themes key to understanding Zanzibari history that are also of universal relevance, including the legacies of slavery and colonialism and the origins of racial violence, poverty, and underdevelopment. They also show how a cosmopolitan island society negotiates cultural influences from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.
