＊真正為人、為地球生態的綠色經濟＋心靈環保最終提案 經濟學不是一項精確的科學。事實上它是——或者應該是——更大的：它是智慧的一項分支。——經濟學的最後一位先知、最有遠見的「異端」經濟學家 舒馬克（E. F. Schumacher） 「沒有佛教的經濟學，也就是沒有靈性、人，與生態價值的經濟學，就像是沒有愛的性一樣。」——舒馬克 羅賓斯爵士（Lionel Robbins）說：「經濟學是一門研究人類在有限的資源情況下作出選擇的科學。」每個人在此世間的種種資源都是有限的，因此如何在種種限制下達成人生的「目標」，的確是最重要的生命課題。傳統經濟學主要關注的是「實體」資源，而各個靈性傳承所關注的則偏重非實體資源，如心力、壽命等。 今日資本主義經濟下的市場已遍及世界的每一個角落，透過市場，我們交易著一切有形與無形的事物，看似過著豐富的物質生活，然而人們的內心卻是疏離與不安的。加上我們這個世代面臨各種經濟、社會與環境的危機，尋求新的可永續（sustainable）經濟學以取代資本主義經濟，已變得刻不容緩。 經濟學作為社會科學中的顯學，正一步一步地把人類社會帶向死胡同。作者在因緣際會下，接觸了綠色經濟學，這是不同於主流經濟學的經濟思想，同時首次認識了舒馬克（E. F. Schumacher）的佛教經濟學。 「佛教經濟學」是舒馬克在1960年代所提出的。但其實他所提倡的，是以靈性為基礎、以人為本的經濟學。舒馬克認為，科學與科技必須有智慧作為依歸，「永續的經濟學」（economics of permanence）才是有可能的。 佛教怎麼會和經濟學有關呢？舒馬克在〈佛教經濟學〉一文開宗明義即說：「『正命』是佛陀所倡導的八正道之一，因此很清楚地，是必然有佛教經濟學這種東西的。」「正命」是指從事正當的職業，尤其是指不會傷害眾生（包括自己）的職業。八正道（正見、正思維、正語、正業、正命、正精進、正念、正定）是人們邁向解脫必經之途，因此是「必要之善」。 「正命」是佛教經濟學的核心，而付之實踐，則有賴佛教的另一原則——「中道」。佛教認為，問題的重點並不在於物質生活的本身，而是我們面對它的態度。佛陀告誡我們的，不是外在的摒棄物質，而是內在的不執著。因此本書從佛法的觀點，以個體經濟學為架構，依序探討傳統個體經濟學架構中的各項

Featuring specially commissioned artwork, this study breaks new ground in covering all the uniformed Soviet security organizations from the Russian Revolution through to World War II. While the average person reacts to the term 'SS' with justified horror, most do not realize that, like Nazi Germany, Stalin's Soviet Union had its own instrument of terror, the NKVD. The precursor to the NKVD, the Cheka, was central to the Bolsheviks' elimination of political dissent during the Russian Civil War (1918-21). After 1922 the Soviet state-security organs became the GPU and then the OGPU (1923-34) before coalescing into the NKVD. After it played a central role in the Great Terror (1936-38), which saw the widespread repression of many different groups and the imprisonment and execution of prominent figures, the NKVD had its heyday during the Great Patriotic War (1941-45). During the conflict the organization deployed full military divisions, frontier troop units and internal security forces and

帶著香料商人血統的民族植物學家，跟隨袓先的足跡追尋全球化的根源！ 味覺化學式+貿易鍊金術=跨文化的經濟霸權即使是微小的豆蔻、肉桂、番紅花或孜然，都是料理帝國主義以及美食全球化的重要元素。在埃及石棺中，解讀兩千三百年前香料交易的銘文，從市集、圖書館、檔案館、博物館裡展讀歷史的香氣與滋味，順著乳香與沒藥的薰香，走過阿拉伯半島、非洲之角親見乾荒之地的芳香。使用孜然的古老料理哈利拉湯，隨著阿拉伯與波斯人，往東傳到蒙古，記錄在中國的《飲膳正要》，也跟著猶太人、阿拉伯人與柏柏爾人，往西出現在墨西哥北部的西班牙後裔社群。鄭和十五世紀從印度洋返回時，決定擔任全球化商業的推手，親自尋找珍貴的沉香，藉此建立東南亞穆斯林與明朝的關係。作者以生動的文字，帶領讀者一探香料貿易與料理帝國主義之間的關聯。身為香料商人的後裔，搭配旅行見聞與歷史故事，並發揮民族植物學的專長，以獨特的觀點闡述香料貿易的全球化舞台上，扮演何種重要角色。他也走訪四大商路（絲路、乳香之路、香料之路，以及運送巧克力與辣椒的皇家大道），探究全球化貿易演進過程。商人們在這些地方進行過無數的重要協商，在這些路上也看到「香料人」跨越不同的貨幣與文化進行交易。今日香料貿易的政治生態，與過去大相逕庭，愛冒險的沙漠民族率先玩起全球貿易賭局，將香料從人口稀疏的偏荒之地，送進繁華富有的都市。有遠見的香料投資者，熟知如何避開海盜與競爭者的覬覦，等待預期價格時賣出，可說是投機買賣的發起人。今日駱駝商隊雖已不再運送孜然，阿拉伯帆船也不再載運丁香，舊大陸與新大陸的滋味融合隱含著血淚與創傷。而從古埃及時代就開始的香料運用與交易，藉著各地商人回應眾多文化的需求，是全球化的起源也是商業文化的濫殤。本書內容如史詩般磅礡浩瀚，故事橫跨各個大陸、穿越數千年，探索香料貿易如何推動全球化過程。作者能以廣泛、跨學科的觀點，訴說精彩的故事。他生動地將古老香料之路上的歷史人物與自己的旅行經驗娓娓道來，對跨文化的語言與料理現象有獨到觀察，並反思香料貿易如何影響自己家族的遷移。任何喜歡飲食與歷史的人，都會喜愛這本書。——《發酵聖經》（The Art of Fermentation）作者山鐸・卡茲（SandorEllix Katz）蓋瑞・納卜漢踏上新舊大陸的古老商路之旅，造就這本精彩雋永的好書。他說明諸多全球化真正起源之地在哪些遙遠之處，還詳細闡述部分民族如何仰賴珍
