Financial power and military power are the two decisive factors in traditional political games. In ancient Chinese politics, all political issues were ultimately classified as financial issues. In ancient China, all administrative power came from military power. Therefore, the so-called "political power" in ancient China was, in the end, just financial and military power. In this book, the author proposes a new interpretation perspective of modern history, looking at modern history from the perspective of military power and financial power for the first time. In addition to the novel perspective, many of the viewpoints in this book are refreshing. For example, China also had a magnificent era of civil sea power; geopolitics has existed in China since ancient times, and it has developed five geographical lines to promote historical development. The textual expression continues the author's consistent style, integrating cultural individuality into historical writing, forming a self-contained whole that makes people feel full and hearty after reading it.

This book can be seen as a contemporary continuation of Hofstadter's classic book "Anti-Intellectualism in America". This book sharply analyzes how the intersection of various social forces in the past half century has triggered a "perfect storm" of anti-rationalism: the expansion of political influence of religious fundamentalism, the failure of public education in cultivating citizens, the replacement of print culture by the Internet, and the erosion of public awareness by infotainment.

She bluntly points out that if anti-intellectual and anti-rational tendencies are allowed to go unchecked, the United States will fall into a spiritual wasteland. This book is not only a warning to contemporary America, but also a wake-up call for readers around the world.

When poison gas and tanks tore apart the pretense of gentleman's war, the knife of the Paris Peace Conference cut out the powder keg of World War II in the contract. This atypical history of World War I uses technical details and black humor to dismantle the magical reality of the collapse of civilization. From the evaporation of medieval chivalry in chlorine-filled trenches to the spoils-sharing equation beneath the gilded tableware at Versailles, every slice of history is steeped in absurdity: a Nobel Prize winner moonlighting as a Grim Reaper, a tractor converted into a steel behemoth, and a victorious diplomat using an inkwell to fake Mount Fuji. The book uses pop culture as a scalpel, allowing arms orders to dance with TikTok memes, blending the machine-fried steaks of the Ruhr area with the air cans of the Metaverse Treaty, revealing how the rapid development of technology drags mankind into the quagmire of modernity. The old ethics that were crushed into the soil by the crawlers, the undigested hatred on the peace menu, and the deadly creations that backfired on civilization in the laboratory were all completed in a playful way. This is a historical talk show that tap-dances with a steel helmet, and every laugh oozes rusty apocalypse.

A book to understand the unfathomable imperial thoughts of the three prosperous emperors of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong. The Qing Dynasty used minority ethnic groups to rule the huge Han population. The panic over the legitimacy of rule gave rise to the Qing emperors' ultimate desire for control. They transformed national conflicts and cultural anxiety into power for power, reaching the pinnacle and final success of China's feudal imperial power. 1.

This book is a collection of notes and manuscript fragments written by Burckhardt for his lectures at the University of Basel from 1865 to 1885. As an outstanding cultural and art historian in the 19th century, Burckhardt presented and described Western history from ancient times to the Revolutionary era in a highly personal style and aesthetic sense in the form of notes based on his own cultural vision and value standpoint. By deeply reflecting on and criticizing the axioms that pervaded the entire political field in the 19th century - egalitarian mass democracy, unfettered capitalism and its consumerism, materialism, and the welfare state - Burckhardt challenged and even subverted the linear view of historical progress dominated by Enlightenment and rationalism, advocating finding the spiritual strength to deal with the crisis of modern Western culture from the history of Greece, Rome, the Renaissance, and its humanist tradition.

Facing an increasingly chaotic world, a 94-year-old man made an urgent appeal for the present and the ardent expectations of the future world: understand the inseparability of China and the world. The world needs China, and China needs the world. Mr. Xu Zhuoyun uses the macro-historical view of "seeing China from the world, and then seeing the world from China" and uses clear logic and concise language to present three aspects of content to readers: first, China's traditional inward-looking economic form and its connection with the world economy; second, the rise and fall of globalized trade in the modern world and the new world pattern based on it; third, now that "globalization" has reached its trough, the path China should adhere to and the direction of the future world. Mr. Xu believes that over the past two thousand years, Chinese culture and economy have developed a unique temperament through interaction with the world. He also pointed out that the traditional Chinese "people-oriented" thinking and the concept of "world harmony" should become important theoretical resources for building future world development.

This is a book of historical truth exchanged for blood, tears and memory. For more than 20 years, Japanese journalist Nishiri Fuyongko has been deeply investigating the secrets of Unit 731. Through a large number of field interviews and historical investigation, he has interviewed the parties involved, war criminals and survivors, and reconstructed the inhuman history that was covered up. Including human experimentation, germ warfare, poison gas testing, etc., All crimes should not be forgotten. The book adopts the method of oral history, supplemented by original archives, testimonies of war criminals and historical photos, using facts as the truth and preserving evidence for history. Behind the war are thousands of concrete and innocent lives. Those who survived will spend the rest of their lives fighting against the shadows, while the "Maruta" who died silently will never be able to speak. This is not only an exposure of past atrocities, but also a questioning of human conscience. History cannot be forgotten and the truth must be responded to. This work has also become the spiritual starting point for the upcoming documentary of the same name, awakening sleeping memories, filling the obscured historical gaps, and arousing widespread resonance. A catastrophe that has been sealed for many years, a historical reappearance that awakens conscience with facts.

After being an aggrieved prince for 27 years, he unexpectedly ascended the throne at the age of 36. In just 6 years, he accomplished three major events that rewrote history - opening up the sea ban and igniting global trade (earning one-third of the world's silver), ending two hundred years of bloody war between the Ming and Mongolia (saving sky-high military expenditures), and pardoning his remonstrators to initiate reforms. However, he indulged in violent death at the peak of his power. He is the most underestimated emperor in history: he endured for half his life in exchange for the Ming Dynasty's return to glory, but he himself became the key puzzle in the dynasty's transformation from decline to prosperity.

If you want to achieve great things, first read Langya Wang Family. Langya Wang summed up the secret of her success as: speaking and doing things in a slow manner. This seems to go against common sense, because we always say that we should strike first to gain the upper hand, but the Langya Wang family has used wisdom passed down for thousands of years and bloody lessons to tell us: Those who achieve great things must be slow. The protagonist of this book, Director Wang, the founder of "The King and the Horse Share the World", is a chronic man. Facing the challenges from wealthy families such as Sima Family and Yingchuan Yu Family, he always let those who like to strike first to gain the upper hand to try and make mistakes, and then learn from their failures to reduce their own trial and error costs. In the end, he relied on this "slow-paced" wisdom to defeat all his contemporaries, making the Langya Wang family a powerful family that overpowered the imperial power and controlled the world behind the scenes. If you want to achieve small things and pursue small profits, you may have to strike first; but if you want to achieve big things and create a century-old foundation, you might as well wait a moment.
