Una mesa de tres patas. Ajuste de cuentas con la politiquería venezolana. Hace veinticinco años el chavismo se instaló en Venezuela. Desde entonces se acabó la democracia con todo lo que eso implica: persecución a la disidencia, torturas, muertes, exilios... La emigración de más de ocho millones de venezolanos que huyeron (y los que siguen huyendo del país) por rutas inseguras y peligrosas, debería ser la cara más visible de lo que sucede en Venezuela donde la pobreza se ha establecido como una forma de control que ayuda a perpetuar la sobrevivencia del sistema instalado. Pero nadie en el mundo quiere ver esa cara. Para todos, Venezuela es un país donde se hacen elecciones a cada rato y por cualquier motivo con un sistema electoral automatizado, pulcro e incuestionable. Y el chavismo sigue allí, pero ¿qué lo sostiene? Para que el chavismo continúe en el poder después de veinticinco años de desastre, ha hecho falta una mesa donde se apoye el sistema criminal. Una mesa de tres patas. Es una mesa bien servida con un menú que incluye narcotráfico, corrupción a niveles nunca vistos, transacciones políticas y monetarias, escándalos de humo y mordazas; silencio, mucho silencio, autoimpuesto u obligado. Daniel Lara Farías quiere armar un escándalo en medio de ese silencio encubridor, y, en este libro expone, sin remilgos, las patas de esa mesa. Las tres patas que sostienen al sistema criminal están ahora visibles. Todas se unen alrededor del dinero, «el cochino dinero», que al parecer mientras más cochino es, más asepsia produce. En esas patas nos vemos todos, porque dicho con sus palabras: «Como se trata de una explicación de la tragedia, debemos entonces renunciar también a excluirnos de toda inocencia, pues formando parte de un conjunto, aquí culpables somos todos: los que votamos y los que dejamos de votar, los que militamos en partidos y los que nunca lo hicieron, los que creyeron en el camino electoral y los que dejamos de creer». ¿Cuán responsable se siente usted?

Los Angeles Times Bestseller How do we stop the unrelenting evolution of the economic hit man strategy and China’s takeover? The riveting third edition of this New York Times bestseller blows the whistle on China’s economic hit man (EHM) strategy, exposes corruption on an international scale, and offers much-needed solutions for curing the degenerative Death Economy. In this shocking exposé, former EHM John Perkins gives an insider view into the corrupt system that cheats and strong-arms countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars and ultimately causes staggering income inequality and ecological devastation. EHMs are highly paid professionals who use development loans to saddle countries with huge debts and force them to serve US interests. Now, a new EHM wave is infecting the world, and at the peak of the devastation sits China, a newly dominant economic power, with its own insidious version of the US EHM blueprint. Twelve explosive new chapters detail the allure, exploitation, and wreckage of China’s EHM strategy in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. If allowed to continue its rampage, the EHM strategy—whether executed by the United States or China—will destroy life as we know it. However, all is not lost. Perkins offers a plan for transforming this system that places profits above all into a Life Economy that restores the earth. He inspires readers to take actions toward a new era of global cooperation that will end the United States’s and China’s EHM strategies for good.

La historia demuestra que las sociedades que abrazan la libertad alcanzan mayores niveles de prosperidad. La Era Milei revela que el milagro argentino no es una quimera, sino el resultado natural de aplicar principios sólidos y coherentes. Philipp Bagus, destacado exponente de la Escuela Austriaca y discípulo de Jesús Huerta de Soto, ofrece en esta obra una mirada lúcida del presente argentino y una hoja de ruta para el futuro del liberalismo. Más que un análisis de la figura presidencial, este libro es una exploración profunda de los valores que han impulsado el desarrollo de las naciones: la defensa de la propiedad privada, la reducción del Estado y la recuperación de una ética en la economía de mercado. Bagus explica cómo el fenómeno Milei transformó ideas marginales en una fuerza capaz de desafiar el statu quo en América Latina. Con claridad pedagógica, analiza las causas del colapso económico argentino, las estrategias para combatir el estatismo y el impacto cultural del enfoque paleolibertario. Las ideas tienen consecuencias, y esta obra es una poderosa prueba de ello.
