Thorstein Veblen Box Set: The Theory of Business Enterprise & The Theory of the Leisure Class , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1191min
Thorstein Bunde Veblen (1857-1929) was an economist, sociologist, and critic of capitalism. In The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), Veblen coined the concepts of “conspicuous consumption” and “conspicuous leisure”. His emphasis on conspicuous consumption greatly influenced economists who engaged in critiques of capitalism and technological determinism. Veblen contended that the leisure class is defined by conspicuous consumption and conspicuous leisure. This entails the expenditure of vast sums of money on items or activities that advertise wealth; the author mentions newly popular fields such as sports and the fine arts as examples. In The Theory of Business Enterprise (1904) Veblen looks at the growing corporate domination of culture and the economy, arguing that business interests do not coincide with that of the community. ungekürzt.

Dreaming Spies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 741min
For years now, readers of the Russell Memoirs have wondered about the tantalizing mentions of Japan. Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes had spent three weeks there, between India (The Game) and San Francisco (Locked Rooms). The time has finally come, to tell that story. It is 1925, and Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes arrive home to find... a stone. A stone with a name, which they last saw in the Tokyo garden of the future emperor of Japan. It is the first indication that the investigation they did for him in 1924 might not be as... complete as they had thought. In Japan there were spies, in Oxford there are dreams. In both places, there is a small, dark-haired woman, and danger. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jenny Sterlin.

Cloud upon the Sanctuary: Esoteric Classics , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 178min
Karl von Eckhartshausen was an 18th-century German mystic. The Cloud upon the Sanctuary is Christian mysticism veiled in hermetic code and often considered a classic among Rosicrucians and Theosophists. Eckhartshausen was briefly a member of Adam Weishaupt's Bavarian Illuminati but left for spiritual reasons. In this work, he cryptically mentions a "society of the Elect" that has existed from the very beginning of time as "the invisible celestial Church". He predicted that "it is the society whose members form a theocratic republic, which one day will be the Regent Mother of the whole World." This book would later become a strong influence on the 19th-century members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Arthur Edward Waite offers an informative, historical introduction. ungekürzt.

Rabindranath Tagore: India's Greatest Living Poet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 37min
Originally published in 1913, Roy gives us part biography of Tagore's early life and part commentary of his poetry. Roy paints a picture of the poet's childhood and the unusual upbringing that was likely responsible for him becoming the man he did. Roy points out the great reverence that Tagore's contemporaries had for him, such as fellow Freemason, William B. Yeats, who Roy quotes from. Roy mentions that the current, popular interest was resulting in Tagore's work being translated across Europe. He also points out the irony of backlash the poet had experienced, from the traditional Indian literary establishment, who worried his poetry would corrupt the country's youth. The author winds things up with a few samples from the poet. Through all of it, Roy's great admiration for Tagore is apparent. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chiquito Joaquim Crasto.
