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.

History of Big Risks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 46min
Is life barren of risk? A majority of the human population will surely disagree. The entire flora and fauna on earth are susceptible to high-risk elements regardless of shapes and sizes.So are human activities in particular. A commuter risks being hit by an onrushing vehicle on a highway; a student is at risk of failing in the examination, and an entrepreneur is surrounded by a barrage of high-risk factors that might lead to losing the entire capital invested. The crux of the matter is the degree of risks. The magnitude is relative and varies from individual to individual.The million-dollar question is, can risk be foiled by any chance?It is like ceasing to exist, to say the least. A better option would be to stop thinking too much about it and take things as they come. Several times, failure comes naturally, but even that is beneficial, too, as an individual is enriched by bitter experiences and can take guard against any future setback by adopting sufficient preventive measures. ungekürzt.

History of Football , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
Football is also known as association football or soccer. The game is played across the globe in more than 200 countries by 250 million players. The more famous and prestigious matches attract up to 100,000 people and more besides the millions who are glued to their television sets. It is one of the most popular games in the world. There are different forms of football which can be identified in history. Modern ciphers of football can be traced back to the 19th century when the systemization of games happened at English public schools. Football spread outside the boundaries of Britain as the British Empire expanded their area of rule. By the end of the 19th century the distinctive regional codes were emergent: for instance Gaelic football intentionally integrated the rules of local traditional football games to uphold their heritage. The Football League was founded in England in 1888, which was also the first of many professional football competitions. By the 20th century many football associations had been formed, making football one of the most popular sports in the world. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tracy Tupman.
