Author: Edson Luiz dos Santos
Publisher: Linotipo Digital
ISBN: 8565854205
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
"By doing the connection between the starting points of man's commercial behavior with the present day, the author does not show this legacy as the result of research or observation, but of an intense experience, of those who have participated in this theater not as a mere adjunct but as an actor of first magnitude", as says Reginaldo Zero, president and CEO of Fidelity Processadora e Serviços SA. It begins with the interesting history of money from the 7th century BC until it reaches the mobility of today and the digital universe of the future. It tells us in detail this evolution in a way that the reader can understand the complexity of payment activity and establish the connection between past, present and future. By reading this book, readers can understand how the structure of the business chain works and for those interested in knowing how technology has been modifying and accelerating the human need to pay and receive in a highly globalized world. In this way, it is strongly recommended reading to people who, directly or indirectly, are linked to the financial sector, and especially to the payments segment. The book has objective and accessible language and the text flows with lightness, being easy to understand even for those outside academia.

The Utopia of Rules
Author: David Graeber
Publisher: Melville House
ISBN: 1612193757
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
From the author of the international bestseller Debt: The First 5,000 Years comes a revelatory account of the way bureaucracy rules our lives Where does the desire for endless rules, regulations, and bureaucracy come from? How did we come to spend so much of our time filling out forms? And is it really a cipher for state violence? To answer these questions, the anthropologist David Graeber—one of our most important and provocative thinkers—traces the peculiar and unexpected ways we relate to bureaucracy today, and reveals how it shapes our lives in ways we may not even notice…though he also suggests that there may be something perversely appealing—even romantic—about bureaucracy. Leaping from the ascendance of right-wing economics to the hidden meanings behind Sherlock Holmes and Batman, The Utopia of Rules is at once a powerful work of social theory in the tradition of Foucault and Marx, and an entertaining reckoning with popular culture that calls to mind Slavoj Zizek at his most accessible. An essential book for our times, The Utopia of Rules is sure to start a million conversations about the institutions that rule over us—and the better, freer world we should, perhaps, begin to imagine for ourselves.
