In "The Race for Wealth," a historical masterpiece that integrates military, technology, and society, William McNeil is committed to exploring the ups and downs of mankind in the past millennium, and tracing our original development path, allowing us to see clearly how the world has step by step reached the terrible dilemma we have to face today. This book first starts with the use of bronze weapons and armor in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, and then talks about the changes in weapons in 1800 BC and the emergence of professional armies in 1000 BC. Then it is divided into ten chapters and focuses on describing the industrial progress, weapons manufacturing, government management, and social order evolution of the world's major countries in the East and West after 1000 AD, the improvement of European war business and war skills, the pressure brought by violent bureaucratization, the impact of the French political revolution and the British Industrial Revolution on the military, and a brief introduction to the world wars of the 20th century, especially the U. S.-Soviet arms race and planned economy since 1945. The core argument of this book is that the worldwide commercial transformation that began in the 11th century resulted in military operations becoming increasingly subject to the dictates of market forces and the dictates of rulers. McNeil believes that it is only in our era that planned economies began to replace the manipulation of large-scale human activities by market forces. This book directly confronts the major issues facing the world since 1000 AD. The discoveries, hypotheses and extensive knowledge contained in it are enough to make readers re-examine our era and provide us with solid evidence for wiser decisions in the future.

This book is dedicated to the story of boys' growth and education, and is full of tenacious, brave, and open-minded masculinity. In "Little Gentlemen", Joe and her husband, Professor Barr, run a school at home. The main students are a dozen energetic boys with different personalities. The oldest is 16 years old, the youngest is only four or five years old, and most are around ten years old. Among them are children of the Barrs themselves and relatives, some wandering orphans, some particularly naughty children, some with physical disabilities and low self-esteem, and children sent by their parents because they cannot discipline them. These children live and study together. Jo and her husband arranged classes, designed games, and built their character. The Barrs never suppress the boys' individuality, but at the same time they subtly educate these children to develop sound characters. The boys grew up healthily and happily in the Qiao family, and many strange, touching or hilarious things happened in the process. As the days passed, the little men gradually grew up. Similar to the quality education we advocate today, the Barrs believe that although knowledge such as Latin and mathematics is very useful, it is more important to cultivate good qualities such as self-study, self-reliance, and self-control, and to cultivate excellent moral conduct. They teach children to be honest, loyal to their duties, and good people, and encourage them to help each other and get close to nature. Children can keep pets, grow plants, and "do business" here, but speculation in business operations is prohibited, etc. Every boy is unwilling to be ordinary. The way Qiao and her husband raise them is to let boys express their individuality and let their dreams fly without losing their principles. Alcott is good at describing simple emotions. Her novels are warm, touching, simple and innocent, conveying life insights and beliefs. She uses her stories to help readers learn to face the increasingly competitive world with a beautiful and peaceful mentality.
