Story
現みずほ銀行の前身のひとつ第一国立銀行や、東京証券取引所、東京海上、王子製紙、日本郵船、帝国ホテル、キリンビール、サッポロビールなど、500あまりの企業の設立に携わった渋沢栄一。その成功は、座右の書とした『論語』の教えに基づいたものでした。常に「論語(=道徳)と算盤(=商売)は一致すべし」と説き、 目先の利益のみを優先した経済活動は結果的に人々の生活を脅かし、ひいては国家の安全すら危うくさせると訴えかけます。 ●争いは排斥すべきものでなく、必要のもの ●どんな些細な仕事でも、それは大きな仕事の一小部分 ●失敗することがあっても、疚しいところがなければかえって多大の教訓を得られる ●実業界に不正の行為が後を絶たぬようでは、国家の安全を期することができない 激しい経営者の顔を覗かせながら、細かな仕事にも手を抜かない。大志を持ち、目先の成功や失敗にとらわれすぎない。決して利己的にならず、物事の道理を見据えて行動する。今の企業人にもっとも必要なことを説く、実業界の父の講話を頭に入りやすい「朗読」でお聞きください。 ※本商品は『論語と算盤』(国書刊行会刊/渋沢栄一著ISBN:978-4-336-01455-9 1,260円(税込))をオーディオ化したものです。(C)Eichi Shibusawa

Story
商業は自己の利益を追求するものであり、道徳とは相容れないものとされてきた。渋沢は世に蔓延る風潮を全くの誤解であると言い、商業と道徳は真に合体するものであるとする「道徳経済合一説」を唱えた。渋沢の実業哲学の根幹は天命論にある。天命は広く社会に尽くすことを求める。それは人間としての本分であり、踏み行うべき道理である。渋沢は、利益追求そのものを否定しているのではない。たとえ私欲の事業であっても、道理に従い社会的視野を持って仕事に従事するならば、事業は必ず公利公益へとつながり、それは本分としての道徳の実行となる。人間の本分に従う限り、商業と道徳は本来ともに手をとって発展していくものである。今日、商業道徳への意識が再び薄らぎつつある。道徳不在の経済は、いつか必ず社会を破壊する。そうなる前に、我々は渋沢の実業哲学から学び、日本社会に生きるものとしての本分を見つめなおす必要がある。 ※本商品は『渋沢栄一 徳育と実業 錬金に流されず』[国書刊行会刊 渋沢栄一著ISBN:978-4-336-05312-1 1,890円(税込)]をオーディオ化したものです。(C)Eichi Shibusawa

Story
非凡さはいらない。必要なのは平凡な常識を円満に備えた人である。青年は誰しも己を過信し、徒に不平不満を発して軽挙妄動に走り、そうして自ら誤った方向に道を定めてしまうものである。若き日の渋沢栄一もまたその一人であった。一七歳にして幕末の世の不合理を嘆き、武士となって国を変えるという分不相応な立志を抱き、結果として道に迷い尊皇攘夷に走った。維新後、日本の商工業の発達の必要性を感じた渋沢は、自分自身の素質と才能を顧みて、三十歳の時に実業家として生きることを決意し、生涯歩むべき道とした。このときが真の立志であったと渋沢は語り、青年期を迷走して無駄に過ごし、立志が遅れたことを悔いている。渋沢は自身の経験を逆説として、「青年にはよく精査して志を立て、有意義な生涯を送ってほしい」と言う。若者は新しい知識や技術を早くから学ぶことができる。そうであれば、常識や人格を正しく修養して素質に応じた志を立てれば将来は明るいはずであると青年を激励し、その修養法や社会で生き抜くための処世術を教える。青年期は人生における大切な修養期間である。若者たちが自分を磨いてその本領を知り、自信を持って社会に出られるよう渋沢は切望する。渋沢が若者たちに贈る期待と勇気に満ちた言葉は、時代を超えて現代の若者たちにも向けられていることを我々は知る必要がある。 ※本商品は『渋沢栄一 立志の作法 成功失敗をいとわず』(国書刊行会刊...

Story
髷を結い刀を差した渋沢には、日本の進むべき未来が見えていた― 倒幕の際、フランスを訪れていた渋沢は、格段に進歩した西欧の国情を目の当たりにして、このままでは日本が植民地化されるのは時間の問題であると危惧し、一日でも早く日本の国力を蓄えなければならないと悟った。国家の力とはすなわち経済力、商工業の力である。その当時、日本の商工業は国家的にも軽視され未熟であったが、渋沢は先の時代を見通して様々な事業を行った。女子教育・商業教育の必要性を説いて優れた実業家の育成に尽力。国富をもたらす地方繁栄策の言明。国民の元気振興を目指した独立自営論。社会問題解決のための福祉事業の推進。将来の日米商戦を予言し、その対策を提言。明治においてその先進的な取組みには多くの反対もあったが、日本が今日のような発展を遂げて列強と肩を並べるまでに至ったのは、まさに渋沢の先見性によるものである。時代の風を柔軟に読み取る渋沢栄一の言葉は、日本のこれからを見通す助けとなるであろう。 ※本商品は『渋沢栄一 先見と行動 時代の風を読む』(国書刊行会刊渋沢栄一著ISBN:978-4-336-05314-5 1,890円(税込))をオーディオ化したものです。(C)Eichi Shibusawa

Story
個々人の公益の追求と私益の追求とは何かを問う名著、待望の音声化!あなたが変われば、国家もまた生まれ変わる―「王道」が国家の繁栄をもたらす。個人のひとりひとりが集まって、やがて国となる。国家の問題は、ひとりひとりの国民の問題でもある。人は常に自分の利益ばかりを求めてしまうものである。しかしそれでは、一時的に繁栄はしても、社会からの共感は得られず、ついには反感を呼ぶことにもなり、決して長くは続かない。では、社会に適う事業とはいかなるものか。われわれは利益のために何をするべきか。それは、個人の利益とともに国家の利益がもたらされる事業である。たとえ事業が私利を意図したものであっても、それが商道徳に適うものであれば、それは公益をもたらすのである。道徳に従う限り、私利と公益は一体なのである。渋沢栄一は、この公益をもたらす道徳を「王道」と呼んでいる。それでは「王道」とは具体的にどういうことか。それは、オーディオブックを聴いて、あなた自身の耳で確めてもらいたい。「王道」を常に心がけることで、人は誰でも国家の繁栄に貢献できるのである。昭和6年に91歳で亡くなった渋沢栄一の葬儀には、約4万人もの会葬者が参列した。これは、いかに日本国民が渋沢栄一に感謝をしていたかを物語っている。※本商品は『渋沢栄一 国富論 実業と公益』(国書刊行会刊/渋沢栄一著ISBN:978-4-336-05311-4 1...

Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

Story
“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home.

It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

Story
Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....
