History of Capitalism , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
Humankind has evolved in many ways. The basic reason for this evolution has been the non-stop urge for more. Innovation has helped humankind to facilitate living and increase the standard of living, too. Capitalism has served the same purpose. It was by the way of capitalism that a major part of the population was able to earn higher wages and increase the standard of living.Capitalism has a long history. This history has some positives and some negatives based on the viewpoints of the various sections of the society. Capitalism benefited the lower class by increasing their incomes, but at the same time, it reduced the power of the upper class and the state. The benefits that could be enjoyed only by the landed gentry were now also being enjoyed by the poor and the landless. There were rebellions and resentments among both the sections, but still, capitalism has emerged as a major economic system and it has been followed till date in many of the economies. Capitalism took many forms and has evolved itself. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tracy Tupman. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/198935/bk_acx0_198935_sample.mp3.

Colony , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1006min
In the future, everything is different—but nothing has changed. "The Earth has been poisoned by pollution, choked by overpopulation, and ravaged by the mindless greed of power-hungry corporations. A fragile peace is threatened by landless revolutionaries and global anarchy seems imminent. Yet a single ray of hope remains…." Island One is a celestial utopia, and David Adams is its most perfect creation - a man with a brain as advanced as any computer and a body free of human frailties. But David is a prisoner - a captive of the colony that created him - destined to spend the days of his life in an island-sized cylinder that circles a doomed and desperate home planet. Thousands of miles below him, a world trembles; its people cringe in terror and despair in anticipation of an impending apocalypse. And fate has cast one extraordinary human in the role of savior. For David Adams has a plan - one that will ultimately ensure the salvation of his species... or its annihilation. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristopher Tabori.

Treecat Wars: Star Kingdom, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 655min
Book Three by international writing phenomenon David Weber. Two young settlers on a pioneer planet seeks to stop a war and to save the intelligent alien treecats from exploitation by unscrupulous humans. The fires are out, but the trouble’s just beginning for the treecats. On pioneer planet Sphinx, ruined lands and the approach of winter force the now Landless Clan to seek new territory. They have one big problem - there’s nowhere to go. Worse, their efforts to find a new home awaken the enmity of the closest treecat clan - a stronger group who’s not giving up a single branch without a fight. Stephanie Harrington, the treecats’ greatest advocate, is off to Manticore for extensive training - and up to her ears in challenges there. That leaves only Stephanie’s best friends, Jessica and Anders, to save the treecats from themselves. And now a group of xenoanthropologists is once again after the great secret of the treecats - that they are intelligent, empathic telepaths - and their agenda will lead to nothing less that treecat exploitation. Finally, Jessica and Anders face problems of their own, including their growing attraction to each other. It is an attraction that seems a betrayal of Stephanie Harrington, the best friend either of them have ever had. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Khristine Hvam.

But when he gets there he is promised the lord's daughter in marriage as well as a huge dowry if he can but capture the spy within the castle's walls. Portia-Maer is an elemental of the air, called a sylph. She can brew up a storm with the mere flick of her wrist. She is half fae and half human, and has been sent to Banesmoor by her wretched stepmother to spy, as a battle is in the planning. Since one of Portia's powers is the ability to turn invisible, she has no problem carrying out this task. But when she is distracted by the landless knight who has just been promised a marriage as well as a title and lands he doesn't deserve, she drops her guard and he discovers her presence. And to her surprise, the man says he knows her and that she has healed him with just a kiss. Can Sir Braden keep his commitment to not only marry a woman he doesn't love but also expose the girl of his dreams as the spy who is about to bring two castles into battle? Or will Portia be able to convince him that there is so much more to her than meets the eye? Passion and power collide as two sides meet in a deadly battle.

Unbreakable: An Autobiography , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min
'My Years of hard work, the refusal to give up, pushing every boundary there was. The thrill, the joy of winning, the successes. The Olympic bronze, my most prized possession. And boxing, the sport I gave myself to. All of it is real. I was the David who took on the Goliaths in the boxing ring - and I won, most of the time.' (Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom, queen of the Indian boxing ring, the winner of five world championships and an Olympic medal) Born to parents who were landless agricultural labour in the state of Manipur in Northeast India, Mary's story is one of relentless struggle and unflagging passion for the sport of boxing. A childhood of hard labour prepared her body for the sport just as well as any fitness training might have. Her own will and aggression carried her through the minefield of politics that any sport in India is. Nimble of foot and pulling no punches, the boxing ring was Mary's dominion. M.C. Mary Kom is not yet ready to call it a day, but here she tells her story so far, no holds barred - her tough childhood, her rebellions, how long she waited for Onler to propose marriage, how she was willing to run away with him and, of course, how she held her won in the male world of boxing. It's all packed into this inspiring, exhilarating tale of a woman who faced impossible odds in a man's world - and won. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Noella Ferrao.
