En Hacia una Nueva Libertad, Rothbard propone un escape de una vez por todas de los dos principales partidos políticos, las ideologías que adoptan y sus planes centrales para usar el poder estatal contra las personas. . El libertarianismo es la alternativa radical de Rothbard que dice que el poder estatal es impracticable e inmoral y debe ser frenado y finalmente abolido.Para defender su caso, Rothbard despliega todo su sistema de pensamiento: derecho natural, derechos naturales, economía austriaca, historia estadounidense, teoría del estado y más.Es implacable, científico, analítico y moralmente enérgico, un libro que presenta un caso abrumador. De hecho, le dio a todo un movimiento su conciencia intelectual y le valió a Rothbard los títulos de "Sr. Libertario" y "El mayor enemigo vivo del estado".¿Sociedad sin Estado-nación? Rothbard muestra que este es el camino para la paz, la prosperidad, la seguridad y la libertad para todos. En toda la historia de las ideas libertarias, ningún libro ha combinado con más éxito el rigor ideológico, la exposición teórica, la retórica política, la ilustración histórica y la perspicacia estratégica. Rothbard dedicó toda su vida a la investigación y toda su energía intelectual a este proyecto y logró escribir un clásico.El libro es el resultado del único contrato que Rothbard recibió de una editorial comercial convencional. Se le pidió que resumiera todo el credo libertario. Mirando el manuscrito original, que estaba casi completo después de su primer borrador, parece que fue un placer para él escribirlo casi sin esfuerzo. Es impecable, implacable y lleno de vida.No cortó esquinas ni tiró golpes. Apareció en 1973 y creó todo un movimiento que se propuso aplastar el monopolio político.

Will there ever be another investing book like this? It's unlikely.  University of Berkshire Hathaway is a remarkable retelling of the lessons, wisdom, and investment strategies handed down personally from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger to shareholders during 30 years of their closed-door annual meetings.  From this front row seat, you'll see one of the greatest wealth-building records in history unfold, year by year. If you're looking for dusty old investment theory, there are hundreds of other books waiting to cure you of insomnia. However, if you're looking for an investing book that's as personal as it is revelatory, look no further. Packed with Buffett and Munger's timeless, generous, and often hilarious wisdom, University of Berkshire Hathaway will keep serious investors turning pages late into the night: * Get unique insight into the thinking, strategies, and decisions--both good and bad--that made Buffett and Munger two of the world's greatest investors.  * Understand the critical reasoning that leads Buffett and Munger to purchase a particular company, including their methods for assigning value. * Learn the central tenets of Buffett's value-investing philosophy "straight from the horse's mouth." * Enjoy Munger's biting wit as he goes after any topic that offends him. * Discover Buffett's distaste for "commonly accepted strategies" like modern portfolio theory. * See why these annual meetings are often called "an MBA in a weekend."

Swarmwise (2013) is a tactical guide to changing the world using cost-efficient swarm methodology. It is a leadership handbook that outlines how the Swedish Pirate Party was able to beat the political competition on less than one percent of their budget, and shows how any cash- and time-strapped executive or manager can use swarm methodologies, whether the goal is business, social, or political. That organization, founded by one man without resources, has now spread to over 70 countries using the same cost-efficient swarm methods. Swarmwise will tell you what it takes to found a swarm of volunteers, to organize and energize it, and to lead it to success. The book doesn’t go into theoretical detail, psychology, or deep research papers. Rather, it is very hands-on leadership advice from pure experience – it covers everything from how you give instructions to new marketing assistants or activists about handing out flyers in the street, up to and including how you communicate with TV stations and organize hundreds of thousands of people in a coherent swarm. Above all, it focuses on the cost-efficiency of the swarm structure, and is a tactical instruction manual for anybody who wants to dropkick their competition completely – no matter whether their game is business, social, or political. A chapter overview of Swarmwise: Chapter 1 - Understanding the Swarm deals with the basic concepts of a swarm organization, and explains why the swarm is open and transparent. It introduces the concept of a cost-efficiency advantage of two orders of magnitude. In Chapter 2 - Launching Your Swarm, we learn that the published project plan must be tangible, credible, inclusive, and epic, and what that means in practice. Chapter 3 - Getting Your Swarm Organized gives tangible advice on how to organize a volunteer organization and why. We look at the dynamics of different group sizes and how to build a culture of trust. One of the more counterintuitive lessons is detailed in Chapter 4 - Control the Vision, but Never the Message. It explains how you need to use volunteers to translate your vision into messages that fit a specific social context, rather than using an one-size-fits-all slogan. A healthy dose of classic project management is found in Chapter 5 - Keep People's Eyes On Target, And Paint It Red Daily. We talk about metrics, choosing the right metrics, and causing self-organization to happen when you publish the right metrics to optimize. In Chapter 6 - Screw Democracy, We're on a Mission from God, we talk about conflict resolution mechanisms and how to optimize the swarm for speed, trust, and scalability. Chapter 7 - Surviving Growth Unlike Anything the MBAs Have Seen details how the swarm can grow by 200% in a week when some events play out, and how to handle such situations. One of the more advanced chapters, Chapter 8 - Using Social Dynamics To Their Potential goes into how we can tap into the long tail of people and effectively cross-use online and offline friendships to grow organically. Seeing how most organizations need to deal with TV, newspapers, and radio, there is also Chapter 9 - Managing Oldmedia that details everything from press release processes to TV crews. Finally, Chapter 10 - Beyond Success shares a bit of experience of what happens when you feel at the top of the world, and what to do then. "Your most valuable asset isn't your employees," I told the executive. "Your most valuable asset is the thousands of people who want to work for you for free, and you don't let them." The book can also be downloaded as a PDF from the author's website at http://falkvinge.net/books/.

Allen Farrington and Sacha Meyers chart a crash course through the errors of modern economic theory and the world's broken fiat currency system with a hopeful destination: Bitcoin Is Venice. What if a global, digital, sound, open-source, programmable currency was monetizing from absolute zero? What might economies look like under a Bitcoin standard that pushes beyond Hernando de Soto’s abstraction of “capital” as "economic potential energy?" What might this new form of capital do to our current governing bodies? Can Bitcoin bring about a new global Renaissance? With Farrington and Meyers, the discussion is as revolutionary as the answers. "Entertaining and erudite, this is a manifesto for a more ethical monetary and financial system, for capitalism in its purest form and for 'number go up' technology. This book bridges the gap between the concept of an open-source sound money and the practical reality of an ethical and workable financial system." --Harris Irfan, author of Heaven’s Bankers “A great deep dive into how Bitcoin provides a transmission mechanism to a world of truth, freedom, and abundance.” --Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow “Perhaps you found it surprising that a human rights advocate be asked to write the foreword to a book about finance and economics. But read the book, and you’ll understand why I’ve been tasked with preparing you for this journey. This isn’t simply about how money and finance work -- though you’ll learn a lot about that along the way -- it’s a book about how we can, and how we must, harness the power of Bitcoin to secure liberty in the electronic age.” --Alex Gladstein, Chief Strategy Officer, Human Rights Foundation All profits from Bitcoin is Venice are donated to the Human Rights Foundation. Allen Farrington is a regular contributor to Bitcoin Magazine. Read more of his insights on the world of finance and society at www.bitcoinmagazine.com.

Over and over, U.S. government officials and their mainstream media allies called Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine an “unprovoked attack.” The slogan became so overused that people began to ask the obvious question: Why do they protest so much? In Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine, Scott Horton explains how since the end of the last Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union, successive U.S. administrations pressed their advantage against the new Russian Federation to the point that it finally blew up into a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine. From NATO expansion into Eastern Europe, to “shock therapy” economic policy, the Balkan and Chechen wars, color-coded revolutions, new missile defense systems, assassinations, Russiagate and ultimately the brutal conflict in Ukraine, Provoked shows what really happened and why it did not have to be this way.

Se prometió que Bitcoin, BTC, sería una tecnología liberadora, una alternativa de libre mercado al dinero controlado por el estado. Pero esa promesa se rompió cuando un pequeño grupo de individuos con información privilegiada se hiciera cargo del proyecto y cambiara fundamentalmente su diseño. La verdadera historia de BTC y su diseño original la conocen muy pocas personas debido a años de fuerte censura, ingeniería de redes sociales y estrictos controles de información. La realidad es que BTC ha sido secuestrado y cambiado para peor. Esa es la conclusión innegable de El secuestro de Bitcoin, un libro repleto de historia y verdades incómodas, que descarga una andanada desmitificadora contra las narrativas más populares que rodean a BTC. Roger Ver es el primer inversor del mundo en empresas emergentes de BTC y ha sido un nombre destacado en la industria de las criptomonedas desde su inicio. Sin embargo, como confiesa en la introducción, este libro no es una historia de amor. Es la exposición devastadora de la corrupción, la propaganda y la centralización del poder en BTC.

Todos deseamos disfrutar de un excelente sistema sanitario y educativo; todos aspiramos a que las pensiones y los salarios sean lo más elevados posible; todos queremos vivir en una comunidad innovadora, culturalmente vanguardista, respetuosa con el medio ambiente y solidaria con los más necesitados. La mayoría de ciudadanos cree que la manera de alcanzar todos estos loables objetivos pasa por aumentar el tamaño del Estado a pesar de que éste ya se halla en máximos históricos. El conocido economista Juan Ramón Rallo ofrece en este libro una propuesta radicalmente distinta a la habitual: el camino a la prosperidad colectiva no pasa por incrementar todavía más el intervencionismo estatal, sino por reducirlo a su mínima expresión; es decir, su propuesta pasa por que sea la propia sociedad, y no los políticos y los burócratas, la que se haga cargo de servicios tan esenciales como la educación, la sanidad, las pensiones o la protección del medio ambiente. Eso es justamente lo que encontrará en esta obra: una rigurosa y documentada explicación de por qué el bienestar de todos los ciudadanos mejoraría muy notablemente con menos impuestos, menos gasto público y menos regulaciones.
