Podcasts about book ii

This week on Another Week in the Books, we tap in with J. Cole’s The Fall Off and what a “final album” really means — legacy, maturity, mortality, and the pressure that comes with expectations. From hip-hop culture to real-life reflections, the convo shifts into relationships, emotional growth, freedom vs. commitment, and how past experiences shape the way we love and move today. We also get honest about purpose, sacrifice, friendships, and the importance of having a real support system that pushes you to grow. Discomfort, self-reflection, and accountability are the themes — because growth isn’t supposed to be easy. Tap in. New episode out now.

Welcome back to Another Week in the Books! The fellas kick off the New Year with Chapter LI, and they're joined by a special guest—Phil from Gridiron Jungle. After exchanging pleasantries and checking in on how the new year is shaping up, the conversation takes a turn when Phil challenges Spike Lou and Rich to move from discussion to action on the things they've been unpacking in recent episodes. This chapter is rooted in self-awareness, accountability, and brotherhood, pushing the idea of truly being your brother's keeper—not just in words, but in practice. If you're looking for a conversation that encourages growth, reflection, and responsibility, this one's for you. We appreciate you for tuning in. Please remember to comment, like, subscribe, and share. Let's get better this week.

"3 Chaos grumbles, talking about a book, trying not to go into side tangents." - Mable   Honestly, that is probably the best description of our entire podcast in general. Enjoy this episode as we go into part 1 of book 2 of Dawnbringers. I feel like we are stepping on the toes of the Mortal Realms podcast with this series, and it feels kinda weird.    Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=84424699 Discord: https://discord.gg/TkU6Tes7kn Email: lorecasteternals@gmail.com

It's an animal-news heavy What's Old Is New Again, with a carve-out for The Fenian Brotherhood. Also, Dick Cheatham goes to war. The gang reviews their US History education, and, as always, Jo knows the most. All that to say, this episode of everyone's favorite Civil War propaganda piece has way too much sexual violence, and we would rather talk about nearly anything else. And finally, introducing: The Cuck-o-meter.

Send us a textThis episode explores Book 2 of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, focusing on his revolutionary concept of the "division of stock" and how capital accumulation drives economic growth.• Smith distinguishes between fixed capital (machines, buildings, land improvements) and circulating capital (money, goods in transit)• Money is described as "the great wheel of circulation" – necessary but not productive in itself• Banking allows society to economize on expensive metallic currency by substituting paper money• Smith's concept of productive versus unproductive labor helps explain which activities increase national wealth• The acquisition of skills represents "human capital" – a concept Smith pioneered centuries before Gary Becker• Interest on loans is justified as compensation for the productive use of capital, though Smith supports moderate usury laws• Smith identifies four employments of capital: agriculture (most beneficial), manufacturing, wholesale trade, and retail• Smith criticizes mercantilism for privileging foreign trade over domestic production• Division of stock and modern financial markets solve the "time travel problem" by allowing entrepreneurs to access capital without primitive accumulationIf you have questions or comments, or want to suggest a future topic, email the show at taitc.email@gmail.com !

Send us a textBook Two of Adam Smith's "The Wealth of Nations" provides the conceptual foundation for understanding how commercial society sustains growth through capital accumulation and the employment of stock. Smith challenges common misconceptions about wealth creation and offers profound insights on the role of capital in economic development.• Capital is not capitalism – Smith wrote before "capitalism" was invented, using the term "stock" to describe accumulated resources• Division of stock works alongside division of labor – capital must be accumulated before it can be employed productively• Justice (protection of person, property, and promise) is prerequisite for investment – without security, people hide rather than invest their stock• Fixed capital (tools, buildings, skills) versus circulating capital (money, wages, materials) form different branches of stock• Money serves as "the great wheel of circulation" – facilitating exchange but not itself productive• Banking allows society to operate with less precious metal – freeing resources for productive investment• Productive labor creates vendible commodities while unproductive labor (government, services) perishes in performance• Parsimony (saving) drives growth while prodigality reduces funds available for productive employment• Interest is legitimate compensation for foregone use of capital – similar to rent on land• Agriculture, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and retail are the four main employments of capital• Modern financial markets solve Marx's "primitive accumulation" problem – entrepreneurs can sell shares of future profitsLet me know your thoughts on these ideas from Adam Smith in the comments below. If you have questions or comments, or want to suggest a future topic, email the show at taitc.email@gmail.com !

The Rhetoric was developed by Aristotle during two periods when he was in Athens, the first between 367 to 347 BC (when he was seconded to Plato in the Academy), and the second between 335 to 322 BC (when he was running his own school, the Lyceum). The Rhetoric consists of three books. Book I offers a general overview, presenting the purposes of rhetoric and a working definition; it also offers a detailed discussion of the major contexts and types of rhetoric. Book II discusses in detail the three means of persuasion that an orator must rely on: those grounded in credibility (ethos), in the emotions and psychology of the audience (pathos), and in patterns of reasoning (logos). Book III introduces the elements of style (word choice, metaphor, and sentence structure) and arrangement (organization). Some attention is paid to delivery, but generally the reader is referred to the Poetics for more information in that area. (From Wikipedia.)Translated by Thomas Taylor.

We talk a bit more about David Hume's An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (1751), and add some parts of A Treatise of Human Nature (1739): sec. 3 "Of the Influencing Motives of the Will" within the third part of Book II, "Of the Passions," and the first two sections of Book III, "Of Morals." Can reason by itself motivate moral action? Hume says no: All ethical reasons must point ultimately to sentiments, which we can generalize about, but which are epistemically basic.
