Carlos Rodríguez Braun y Juan Ramón Rallo defienden el liberalismo rebatiendo los argumentos de sus fustigadores. Por ejemplo: la crisis la provocó la liberalización y la desregulación; no manda la política, mandan los mercados; toda reducción del Estado del Bienestar atenta contra las conquistas sociales; los especuladores desestabilizan la economía y generan las burbujas; el Estado puede organizar la economía con efi cacia y equidad; si el intervencionismo es malo, el liberalismo también lo es, y por lo tanto lo correcto es buscar un punto de equilibrio entre ambos. Las cinco lecciones de economía que componen este libro refutan los tópicos del pensamiento único, constituyen un manual para no iniciados en la materia y, a la vez, una invitación a refl exionar sobre las críticas al capitalismo y al mercado libre. En esta obra, amena y provocadora, los autores rechazan la creciente intromisión del Estado, la coacción y la intimidación del poder, así como su constante empeño en recortar los derechos de los ciudadanos, alegando que él sí sabe lo que mejor conviene a sus súbditos. Esa soberbia de las autoridades, esa prepotencia de los poderosos, esa pasión por controlar, asustar, imponer, prohibir, vigilar, multar, recaudar… Eso, concluyen, sí es pecado.

Este libro invita al niño a jugar al que quizás sea el primer juego que aprende: el 'Cucú-tras'. Le gustará observar las grandes ilustraciones de alegres colores y se divertirá levantando las solapas tras las que se esconden diferentes animales domésticos.

Edwin Lefèvre’s Reminiscences of a Stock Operator is a fictionalized autobiography based on the life of Jesse Livermore (1877–1940) who was a pioneer of day trading and one of the greatest investors of all time. At his peak in 1929, Livermore was worth $100 million, which in today’s dollars roughly equates to $1.5 billion, making him one of the richest people in the world at that time. The book, which began as a series of articles published during 1922 and 1923 in The Saturday Evening Post, tells the story of Livermore’s progression from day trading in the then so-called “bucket shops” to market speculator, market maker, and market manipulator to Wall Street “Boy Plunger” where he won and lost tens of millions of dollars. This classic of American business writing continues to offer sharp insights into the art and psychology of trading and speculation. It is one of the most widely read, highly recommended investment books of all time. This Warbler Classics edition includes an illustrated life of Jesse Livermore. Edwin Lefèvre (1871–1943) was an American journalist, writer, and diplomat who is most noted for his writings about Wall Street, most notably Reminiscences of a Stock Operator (1923). He began his career as a journalist and eventually became a stockbroker as well. Edwin Lefèvre’s first short stories were published under the title, Wall Street Stories (1901), which were followed by several novels about money and finance. Lefèvre was appointed an Ambassador of the United States by President Howard Taft in 1909, serving in posts in Italy, France, and Spain. In 1913, Lefévre returned to his home in Vermont where he resumed writing novels and contributing short stories for magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post and McClure’s. “A must-read classic for all investors, whether brand-new or experienced.” —Investor’s Business Daily “Although...first published some seventy years ago, its take on crowd psychology and market timing is as timely as last summer’s frenzy on the foreign exchange markets.” —Worth magazine

The eagerly awaited English edition of "Bought Journalists" was suppressed for three years under the title "Journalists for Hire" -- and still got 24 five-star-only Amazon reviews from would-be readers. 18 months on the bestseller list in Germany. Now it's finally here! Ever get the feeling the media tries to manipulate or lie to you? You have plenty of company! And you are right -- the facts are in. A world-class media insider has blown the whistle on what really goes on inside the media industry. Author Udo Ulfkotte was a respected journalist for 17 years with Germany's newspaper of record, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. He begins this explosive exposé by first owning up to his own career, where he had to sell out to have the job. He then reveals the deceptive tricks and secret networks of power within the media. How perks are used to bribe journalists and opinion makers to twist their reporting. How the tone of corruption is set from the top -- play along or quit. How the long arm of the NATO press office enrolls the media to get Europe to support more foreign wars. Ulfkotte names hundreds of names and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the organizations that influence the German media with one-sided propaganda, such as The Atlantic Bridge, Trilateral Commission, German Marshall Fund, CFR, and Aspen Institute. He unmasks the intelligence agencies behind these lobbies groups and the propaganda techniques they use, such as US Embassy grants for projects to influence European public opinion. When the CIA holds the hand that holds the pen Would you be surprised to learn that spies sit and write articles in newspaper editorial offices? Which are then published on op-ed pages under the names of well-known journalists? Or which journalists receive bribes for their reporting? Have you heard how prestigious "journalism prizes" are a reward system for cooperation? Much as "Heroes of Labor" were honored for writing the best communist propaganda in the former East bloc. Seen from the inside, the difference between journalist and propagandist isn't as far as you might like. The elite owners of the media feel it's their right to think for us, and to mold public opinion to their agendas. Their Freedom of the Press is Freedom to Censor the news. Our nation depends on the media to understand our world, just as each one of us depends on our eyes and ears. The media are our senses. When they hide the truth, or lie to us, they put us all in danger. A million people died in Iraq, Libya and Syria because the press didn't just report the news, didn't just lie about the news, but they invented and sold the events that served as pretexts for wars. The author spent years in the Middle East, surviving an attack with chemical weapons supplied by US and German firms. This book is a veteran's guide to the media spider's web. It shows how the system works, sharpens your common sense skepticism, and increases your immunity to the controlled media's attempts to do our thinking for us. You will gain a whole new perspective on media reports. A good idea of how much you can believe the news on TV or the radio: almost nothing. Ulfkotte dissects the German media establishment, which media outlets are owned by political parties, the journalists that are under their influence, and what keeps them there. You will see how whole countries are manipulated – and who is pulling the strings and why. Here is the bad news about the news: our idea of a free press with a broad spectrum of opinion is pure fantasy. Very often, what is called the "news" is simply brainwashing.

Marcelo Gullo vuelve con una obra monumental que ensalza la huella imperecedera que dejó España en América: la creación de la Hispanidad. El encuentro de España con América fue un acontecimiento trascendental, y el legado que allí quedó, una huella imperecedera. El prestigioso historiador Marcelo Gullo aborda en esta obra la necesidad de comprender adecuadamente la Historia de España e Hispanoamérica, los lazos y los innumerables puntos en común que nos unen, huyendo así de la historia falseada y manipulada que se ha transmitido desde hace décadas. Con la creación de la Hispanidad, América recibió los valores de Europa a través de España: los habitantes de América disfrutaron de plenos derechos y fueron súbditos libres de la Corona española y se beneficiaron de la lengua, la cultura y todos sus valores.  Este libro desmonta, punto por punto y con argumentos irrefutables, que España nunca consideró el Nuevo Mundo como una mera fuente de riquezas.

[ MP3 CD Format ] The New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur investigates what would happen if a new financial world order took hold, one in which global elites own everything and you own nothing -- and yet you are somehow happy. When Carol Roth first heard that one of the World Economic Forum's predictions for 2030 was "You will own nothing, and be happy," she thought it was an outlandish fantasy. Then, she researched it. What she found was that a number of businesses, governments, and global elites share a vision of a future that sounds utopian: Everyone will have everything they need, and no one will own anything. From declines in home and vehicle ownership to global inflation and government spending, many of the trends of modern life reveal that a new world that is emerging -- one in which Western citizens, by choice or by circumstance, increasingly do not own possessions or accumulate wealth. It's the perfect economic environment for the rich and powerful to solidify their positions and prevent anyone else from getting ahead. In You Will Own Nothing¸ Roth reveals how the agendas of Wall Street, world governments, international organizations, socialist activists, and multinational corporations like Blackrock all work together to reduce the power of the dollar and prevent millions of Americans from taking control of their wealth. She shows why owning fewer assets makes you poorer and less free. This book is essential guide to protecting your hard-earned wealth for the coming generations.

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.

Frederick Bastiat dismantles Socialism, the Nanny State, the Welfare State, Pro-Business Cronyism, and all the other forms of government interference in people's lives. He destroys the perverse logic of the Do-Gooders who want to help one group or another because, somehow, it's the fair thing to do. Bastiat shows that the result of all this protection and benevolence is to make people poorer and less free. His lessons and logic are up to date and powerful. Amazingly, the book originally came out in 1850! The Law is a quick read for both the beginner and the neophyte... and one you'll choose to re-read.

THE BEST BOOK THAT DESCRIBES THE WORLD OF 2020's Nineteen Eighty-Four: A Novel, often published as 1984, is a dystopian social science fiction novel by English novelist George Orwell. It was published on 8 June 1949 by Secker & Warburg as Orwell's ninth and final book completed in his lifetime. Thematically, Nineteen Eighty-Four centres on the consequences of totalitarianism, mass surveillance, and repressive regimentation of persons and behaviours within society. Orwell, himself a democratic socialist, modeled the authoritarian government in the novel after Stalinist Russia. More broadly, the novel examines the role of truth and facts within politics and the ways in which they are manipulated. The story takes place in an imagined future, the year 1984, when much of the world has fallen victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda. Great Britain, known as Airstrip One, has become a province of a totalitarian superstate named Oceania that is ruled by the Party who employ the Thought Police to persecute individuality and independent thinking. Big Brother, the leader of the Party, enjoys an intense cult of personality despite the fact that he may not even exist. The protagonist, Winston Smith, is a diligent and skillful rank-and-file worker and Party member who secretly hates the Party and dreams of rebellion. He enters into a forbidden relationship with a colleague, Julia, and starts to remember what life was like before the Party came to power. Nineteen Eighty-Four has become a classic literary example of political and dystopian fiction. It also popularised the term "Orwellian" as an adjective, with many terms used in the novel entering common usage, including "Big Brother", "doublethink", "thoughtcrime", "Newspeak", "memory ho
