[ This is a pretty big and motley book in order to give an idea about the *cover* and it is also non-fiction, so that I have no idea here. I may propose only some greyish colour to hint that this is serious reading. ]
[ Remark for this site: I publish here <only> the Contents with the Abstracts, so that you have to search later the concrete work, but there is nothing so bad in this because there is nothing new here, this is just a collection of old works ordered thematically. ]

All volumes are:
I. Communism Versus Democracy
II. Market, Business, Economy — This
III. Social Matters And Healthy Life
IV. Sundry Other Things
CONTENTS (Of This Volume II)
00. Short Preface (to the whole collection)
[ Explains why the making of collection was necessary and what it contains (in all cases <nothing> new, but thematically selected). (2019) ]
01. The truth about Bulgaria — when nothing is added after the title the piece is from the quite big "Now, Look Here (Publicistics)" book
[ This piece declares quite succinct the truth about Bulgaria, citing five arguments in support of the thesis. (1994) ]
02. About the market and the Bulgarian
[ Here are explained popularly several important peculiarities of the free market, which, as it turns, are not quite clear to the Bulgarians (at least at the dawn of market economy, but nowadays, too). (1994 /1998) ]
03. Our people again hoarded goods by higher prices
[ The paper contains judgements about the market on the example of Bulgaria from the end of last century. (1996) ]
04. How much has to win a company in order to have no gain?
[ This paper proves the murderous impact of high inflation (in its time) over Bulgarian small companies. (1996) ]
05. Do you want to lose your 13th pension?
[ This material illustrates some simple methods for <dividing of monetary investments> in several banks with the purpose for receiving of higher interests in conditions of high inflation; it is true that the prices are now pretty old and originate from Bulgaria, yet it is possible to get some orientation if one wishes, because the ideas remain just the same. (1995 ?) ]
06. Too good is not good!
[ The paper looks at the drawbacks of our botched (as everything by us) introduction of Money Board in the very end of last century; many of them were settled with the time, but nevertheless it is still actual. (1997) ]
07. What we have messed with the Currency Board?
[ The object of discussion here is clear. The material is again old and many things have now settled themselves, but this does not mean that I was not right in whatever in those times, and generally. (1998) ]
08. And where are we?
[ Here is given one comparison from the year 1998 about the economic and other situation in Bulgaria (according data from foreign journals, yet in my parsing), with other ex-communist countries, that is up to date even nowadays, when we are the poorest of all in the United Europe. (1998) ]
09. Predictions for the year 1999
[ This paper is a pre-New Year prognosis of the economic and political situation in Bulgaria on the eve of the last century. Like the majority of my things it is actual in broad lines to this day. (1998) ]
10. Why the communism has fallen down?
[ Here we approach the falling of socialism from an economic point of view, and more precisely in the sense of tying of members of the society in monetary aspect, via savings and loans. (1998) ]
11. Can the Bulgarian pay 50 % taxes?
[ This material takes in focus the question with the percentage of taxes in Bulgaria, which, although as usually around the world, but is not at all liked by us; the money have now become older, but the situation is the same, especially in connection with our poverty. (1999) ]
12. A step forward and two back
[ This paper discusses the introduction of Money Board in Bulgaria in its time and it is aged with more than a dozen of years; nonetheless the things stated there are on the whole actual. (1999) ]
13. In ovo e veritas
[ The paper evolves one original idea about using of the … egg as universal money unit! There are given concrete tables for Bulgaria for several years, as well also many comments about out economical paradoxes. The idea is quite original to make the material interesting for everybody. (2001 /2008) ]
14. About the ownership and its future
[ This paper take unprejudiced, although from left-wing positions, view on the question with property used for exploitation of labour of the others, as well also the necessary measures which have to be taken in order to reach in the future some <reasonable> solution of this main economic problem of the society. (2001) ]
15. Oh God, what we eat!

16. Miscellaneous in the year 2016 — points 1, 3, 4, and 5 (without 2)

(2016) ]

19. Dozen questions for deliberation
[ These are questions about the democracy, the capitalism, our transition, and other still important topics. (1996 ?) ]
20. Heads up, Bulgarians! — Feuilleton
[ This funny piece is dedicated to our next (in 1998) realization of incredible poverty of Bulgarian people, which had begun, obviously, with the coming of democracy in Bulgaria. (1999) ]

SHORT PREFACE (to the whole collection)
Let me explain briefly why I make this collection of non-fiction and what it contains. Well, I make it because it is so done, usually, because one writes and writes on different themes and in various books and it comes, if comes, time when he (OK, sometimes also she) wants to collect the things by themes, this is as if more proper, and an attitude more directed to the readers. So that after more than a quarter of a century literary work, and especially when I intent to try to sell something as books (or ebooks), I have decided to make four volumes with my materials, papers, parts of books, sometimes even abridged papers, on the following themes:
1. Communism Versus Democracy,
2. Market, Business, Economy,
3. Social Matters And Healthy Life,
4. Sundry Other Things.
These topics, naturally, are not strictly divided, nor ordered in the best manner, but now they exist and this is better than if they were not collected in this form. They are not strictly divided because the topics intersect, but not very much, in this way the materials are better located. The ordering of the things is as if chronological, yet not always, because of some local clustering in some sub-themes, what I find unavoidable. But, mark, that in all cases I publish here <nothing> new, this is simply a <collection>! And what will be in these parts I will not explain as redundant, the names are eloquent enough. Probably it is good to say what I have left aside, how much. Well, about 10 percents (in all cases not more than 20), because I have almost nothing that is not actual in the moment, or can not become such later, if the situation changes; I have left aside mainly things, Appendixes, which look more scientific, or too obvious and elementary.
Another reason, why I make this in the beginning of 2019, is that I have stopped with this boring (for me) practice of writhing in one language and then translating in some others, no, this will happen no more, because in 69 years one has to begin to value higher his time and do just the necessary. And, after all, when I have moved from my native Bulgarian language, to my very familiar Russian one, and then to the contemporary standard for a language, the English, intending also to translate something (the beginning 3 books) in German, I have come to the top, I have nowhere else to move. For a pair of years I write everything first in English and now this will be also the last language for most of the things; the possible exception is if I have to publish something in the easiest for me way (like I have not yet published my multilingual dictionary Explain, in Bulgarian, or probably to translate it in Russian), or if writing poetry in different languages, or, then, if I decide to begin to use also my real name (and this only in Bulgarian). Put in other words, here are non-fiction things that are translatable, or which I intend to translate; the poetry, obviously, is untranslatable for me (I don't mean to be like Shakespeare, or Pushkin, or Dante, etc.), for the enormous <Urrh> is impossible to think about translation, the <Letters> (to the posterity) is also difficult to translate and I have never had such intentions, the same about not yet published Explain dictionary, the SF-stories (which are not exactly SF things but rather outmoded social SF) are fiction, they have nothing to do with this collection, and whatever new book of non-fiction I will write (like my future “No problems poses problems”) I will write only in English.
So this is, guys and girls, if I were much read I would have adapted to the auditory, but if I am not, I adapt to my easiness and comfort. You try to do something better than this for the people, the word, the posterity, just for free, but I have done what I can. What means that I publish myself on many sites for free, and there I am relatively (for non-fiction) read, and I publish myself for some fee on some sites, and there I am <not> read (because the people somehow feel that I say <right> things, that are good and moral and necessary and allowed, and when so then they should <not> pay, they are used to pay for … silly or harmful or unmoral things, that's what the capitalism teaches us, alas). However it is, I don't think to become a prophet, I am rather an outmoded preacher, or, then, a thinker gone ahead of his time. Or also: those who are silly enough and need some teaching and instructing and explanations, they avoid giving an ear to me because they don't like to think (and this is <why> they are silly), and those who are clever enough to understand me, they avoid reading this because I say trivial common-sense things, nothing really profound, in order to be read as a must in some scientific area. The only salvation for me, or the way to glory, was to preach silly things that people can easily grasp, but I don't want to come so low, or to delude them with invented fables, but I don't want to lie, I am used to seek the truth, not the lie. And it is too late for me to remodel myself, you take me (how I am), or leave me (to perish by myself, like falling tree-leaves with the coming of winter, ha, ha).
