""The Alpha of Money: A Reply to Mr. Carnegie's A.B.C. of Money"" is a book written by George Reed in 1893. The book is a response to Andrew Carnegie's book ""The ABC of Money"" and aims to provide an alternative perspective on the subject of money. Reed argues that Carnegie's book is too simplistic and fails to address the complexities of the monetary system. Reed also critiques Carnegie's ideas on the gold standard and argues that it is not a sustainable system. Instead, Reed proposes a system of credit that is based on the productive capacity of the economy. The book provides a detailed analysis of the monetary system and offers a new approach to understanding the role of money in society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in economics, finance, and monetary policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The way mankind has responded to the dark sky throughout history has determined humanity's scientific - and cultural - progress. In this way, astronomy is in some way connected to everything. This fascinating theme is explored in Dark Sky Legacy. George Reed examines the powerful influence of the cosmos on cultural and societal development, reviewing mankind's historical propensity for projecting human experience into a cosmic framework and the centuries-old relationship between astronomy and astrology, the result of which is the emergence of the age of science. Since then, he writes, the purpose of astronomy has been to observe celestial objects for the advancement of scientific knowledge, while astrology deals only in the possibility that celestial bodies influence events on Earth. Reed asserts that the movement away from an inward-looking, "meaningful" cosmos toward an outward-gazing, impersonal one is a shift that has had enormous repercussions in every aspect of human life. He points out that astrology provides a scheme in which the believer is an integral component of an animistic, cyclical universe. Conversely, the pursuit of science and astronomy is a mechanistic, linear activity, which seeks extrinsic answers in terms of precise relationships between sense perceptions. Dark Sky Legacy probes the divergent approaches to the universe that compel individuals and cultures to pursue astrology or astronomy, the intuitive or the analytical. Blending modern science, ancient science, mythology, history, literature, and naked-eye astronomy, and spiced with fascinating detail about astronomy, astrology, celestial mythology, and calendar development, the book is an engrossing study of the profound impact of mankind's relationship with the universe.
