    Soren Kierkegaard: The Giants of Philosophy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 126min
    For Kierkegaard, truth is a subjective reality which we must live, not something to simply consider and discuss. His self-consciousness and self-examination highlight the practical demands of existence, and he opposes the speculative thinking of philosophical idealists. Kierkegaard says much of life's meaning depends not on external conditions, but on our internal choices about relating to them. He urges us to live with purpose and emphasizes that our task is not knowing but doing. In Either/Or, he concentrates on sensual indulgence versus duty and the avant garde versus tradition. In Sickness unto Death, Kierkegaard diagnoses a spiritual disease throughout society: despair. Kierkegaard argues that we are estranged from the source of our very being as we try to escape the moral responsibility of the self. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Heston.

    Visions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 457min
    The time: the 1840s. The place: California during the gold rush. As the white settlers begin penetrating the remote mountain canyons, they discover an ancient race, the Tenanken, who date back at least 60,000 years. Some members retain the genetic memories of their distant past, while others project mystical visions of comfort and joy. All flee the coming of the white man, and appear to be doomed to extinction. Only the genius Pegre finds a possible solution: integrate and intermarry with their distant white "cousins", the Hinchai, and form a new entity. He's aided by the girl Baela, whose emerging mental powers only appear every hundred generations - and opposed by the cruel Tenanken warrior, Hidaig, who supports traditional values, and is willing to kill anyone who opposes him. Can the ancient and modern be merged and preserved? Or will the special genetic heritage of the Tenanken be lost forever? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Maynard Villers.

    A Macat Analysis of Ha-Joon Chang's Kicking Away the Ladder: Development Strategy in Historical Perspective , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min
    Since the 19th century, people have claimed that the prosperity enjoyed by the First World was the result of its devotion to unconstrained economic freedoms. In his 2003 book Kicking Away the Ladder, South Korean economist Ha-Joon Chang claims this was not the case and that, in fact, First World economic success was due to exactly the kinds of state intervention that traditional economic thinking consistently opposes today. Chang's detailed analysis of how Britain, and particularly the United States, came to dominate the emerging global economy highlights their willingness to exploit the apparatus of the state to achieve such results. Chang also shows how the financial, legal, and institutional bodies claimed as essential to the West's economic muscle were actually the products of its economic dominance, and not the levers that helped it achieve economic success in the first place. Kicking Away the Ladder was awarded the 2003 Gunnar Myrdal Prize by the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Macat.com.
