Érdekes linkek - Interesting links

A matematika és az etika (az egészség és az anyagiak érdekében) mostanában jobban foglalkoztat, mint ennek a blognak a témája, ezért lehetséges, hogy sokáig nem fogok publikálni itt semmit. Tehát körülbelül ugyanaz van, mint amikor a Mit javaslok olvasni - What I suggest to read című blogbejegyzésemet írtam. Azóta viszont van több új linkem is, amiket megosztanék...

In these days, I am occupied with Mathematics and Ethics (for the sake of Health and Wealth) more than with the theme of this blog, and therefore it's possible that I'll not publish anything here for a long time. Thus it's about the same as when I wrote my blog post Mit javaslok olvasni - What I suggest to read However, there are more new links since then, which I would like to share...

#6. https://openstax.org/

This is a great resource of free textbooks (usually with a good Creative Commons licence), among which there are some about Economics (I have already read the one about Microeconomics from here). I think it is better that saylor.org from the licencing point of view. I think many books from here are worth downloading.

#7. https://www.openbookpublishers.com/

I think this resource also contains some valuable ebooks (e.g. I have already read the one entitled "Ethics for A-Level"). However, I'm not satisfied with all the licences here (that are stricter than CC-BY-SA). Still, I would be glad if the English version of my ebooks about the Criticism of Christianity appeared here (translation is in progress).

#8. https://mises.org/

There are many audiobooks here in the Podcasts section. They are about the Austrian School of Economics (or at least part of it), and I could quickly listen some of them. I do not agree with everything they say, but I think it was good that I listened some of them for my literacy and broader horizon / perspective.

#9. https://suttacentral.net

From this website (and its related GitHub repository) I could download a lot of Buddhist scriptures in English. Although this seems to be unrelated to Economics at first sight, in my opinion Success in Politics or Political Economy might require spiritual strength and training, and a good combination of health and wealth, in which these Buddhist writings might help. I think it might be dangerous to start a mission in Political Economy, if we are not mentally healthy, for example.

#10. https://terebess.hu/

Navigating from the English version of this homepage (as I'm not sure it is allowed for me to deep link), we can find a subpage about the "Terebess Asia Online (TAO)", and then "The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu" ("English versions"), and there are a whole lot of English translations of this basic "scripture" of Taoism (by the way, there are also translations in the "Free Google Books" and the "Gutenberg project", shared earlier). For my Hungarian readers, note that there are many Hungarian translations as well, in the Hungarian counterpart of that webpage. Taoism is also combining Spirituality with Politics. However, I'm not sure it is right all the time, just like Austrian Economics.
