A New York Times and USA Today bestseller From New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Marriage and You Shouldn't Have Come Here comes a chilling family thriller about the (sometimes literal) skeletons in the closet. After their mother passes, three estranged siblings reunite to sort out her estate. Beth, the oldest, never left home. She stayed with her mom, caring for her until the very end. Nicole, the middle child, has been kept at arm's length due to her ongoing battle with a serious drug addiction. Michael, the youngest, lives out of state and hasn't been back to their small Wisconsin town since their father ran out on them seven years before. While going through their parents' belongings, the siblings stumble upon a collection of home videos and decide to revisit those happier memories. However, the nostalgia is cut short when one of the VHS tapes reveals a night back in 1999 that none of them have any recollection of. On screen, their father appears covered in blood. What follows is a dead body and a pact between their parents to get rid of it, before the video abruptly ends. Beth, Nicole, and Michael must now decide whether to leave the past in the past or uncover the dark secret their mother took to her grave.

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.

El concepto «liberalismo» aparece de manera cotidiana en las conversaciones y debates sobre política, economía o moral. Sin embargo, su significado e implicaciones pueden con frecuencia no ser evidentes e incluso resultar engañosas. ¿El liberalismo supone estar a favor de una fiscalidad reducida? ¿O hace referencia a un conjunto de ideas progresistas en asuntos como la religión, las drogas, la eutanasia o la sexualidad? ¿Está a favor de las grandes empresas y de sus conexiones con el poder político o justo de lo contrario? ¿Ser liberal significa mostrarse partidario del derecho a la autodeterminación de los pueblos, de la unidad de las naciones históricas o de ninguno de estos conceptos? ¿O acaso el liberalismo equivale simplemente a la defensa de un sistema democrático similar al actual? En este libro, Juan Ramón Rallo, uno de nuestros más valiosos pensadores liberales, expone cuáles son los diez principios nucleares del liberalismo para así clarificar su significado actual. Según Rallo, el liberalismo es una filosofía política minimalista que no pretende establecer de manera rígida lo que está bien y lo que está mal en todos los aspectos de nuestra existencia, sino que únicamente aspira a descubrir cuál es el marco jurídico necesario para que cada uno pueda vivir su propia vida sin más limitación que la de respetar a los demás. El liberalismo promueve un conjunto de derechos humanos de carácter universal e igualitario ―la libertad personal, la propiedad privada, la autonomía contractual y la reparación del daño causado― que se materializan globalmente en la libre asociación civil y en el libre comercio generalizado. De este modo, el orden político liberal sienta las bases jurídicas que permiten la coexistencia, la cooperación y la convivencia pacífica entre todas las personas, al tiempo que se respetan los heterogéneos, plurales y diversos proyectos de vida de cada una de ellas.

Wu Hengdong (Master Kim to his students) is a 6th-level master of taiji quan. In this book he has brought together years of experience as both practitioner and teacher, to help students of all levels including beginners, to understand the principle of Qigong meditation.This book aims to help students quickly master the key points of Tai Chi Qìgong; it is structured to make Qìgong easy to learn and understand. With a clear logical direction for learning, beginners can achieve the coordination of their mind, qì, shape and spirit during their practice by training their breath and improving the flow through the body’s meridians.This book is written around Tai Chi, based on my own practice of the martial arts; it focuses on Tai Chi's method of gathering qì and includes several kinds of standing meditation exercises. It elaborates on the stages of Tai Chi practice, and concretizes the theory of Tai Chi with classroom practice, aiming to help students at home and abroad to improve their practice after class, and more clearly grasp Tai Chi in depth. This second edition of the book includes a new section on the philosophy of Qigong. It is not necessary in the early stages for students to concentrate too much on the ideas behind Qìqong. Only by practicing, seeing, listening, thinking and becoming more self-aware can we naturally sense the existence of qì. This book is proposed in both English and Chinese, with the Chinese text arranged after the English. In this way, we hope not only to allow readers to improve their Qìgong practice, but to help those learning English or Chinese to improve their language skills. Master Wu Hengdong is founder and principal teacher at the Yangshuo Traditional Tai Chi School in Guangxi Province, China. See https://www.kimtaichichina.com/ for more information

[ MP3 CD Format ] A venture capitalist draws on expertise developed at the premier venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz, and as an executive at Uber to address how tech's most successful products have solved the dreaded "cold start problem" -- by leveraging networks effects to launch and scale towards billions of users. Although software has become easier to build, launching and scaling new products and services remains difficult. Startups face daunting challenges entering the technology ecosystem, including stiff competition, copycats, and ineffective marketing channels. Teams launching new products must consider the advantages of "the network effect," where a product or service's value increases as more users engage with it. Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants utilize network effects, and most tech products incorporate them, whether they're messaging apps, workplace collaboration tools, or marketplaces. Network effects provide a path for fledgling products to break through, attracting new users through viral growth and word of mouth. Yet most entrepreneurs lack the vocabulary and context to describe them - much less understand the fundamental principles that drive the effect. What exactly are network effects? How do teams create and build them into their products? How do products compete in a market where every player has them? Andrew Chen draws on his experience and on interviews with the CEOs and founding teams of LinkedIn, Twitch, Zoom, Dropbox, Tinder, Uber, Airbnb, Pinterest - to provide unique insights in answering these questions. Chen also provides practical frameworks and principles that can be applied across products and industries. The Cold Start Problem reveals what makes winning networks successful, why some startups fail to successfully scale, and most crucially, why products that create and compete using the network effect are virally important today.

Principles of Economics is a university-level textbook offering a comprehensive, engaging, and easy-to-read overview of the field of economics that is valuable to the university student, the general reader, and the professional economist. Saifedean Ammous’ first book, The Bitcoin Standard, is an international best-seller that has been translated into 37 languages. The book garnered praise from respected scholars, successful entrepreneurs, professional athletes, and countless readers worldwide for its engaging and enlightening presentation of sophisticated economic and technical concepts, delivered in a style accessible to the general reader. With its sequel, The Fiat Standard, Ammous established himself as one of the world’s most effective communicators of economic ideas, whose writing resonates with a growing global readership. In Principles of Economics, his most ambitious and elaborate work to date, Ammous offers readers a potent antidote to the modern economics textbook. After two decades of learning and teaching economics at university level, Ammous became aware that most economic textbooks confuse more than they illuminate and most university students tasked with reading them learn very little that is useful and actionable. The culmination of four years' work, this book uses the underappreciated approach of the Austrian school of economics to introduce the principles, methods, and concepts of economics in a readable, engaging, and informative manner. Rather than relying on mathematical analysis of aggregates and arcane theoretical models, the book uses the clear written word to effectively illustrate key economic concepts. The book first presents the Austrian school method and the foundational concepts of value and time. With these foundations laid, the second part of the book explores how humans act individually to achieve their ends under scarcity—in other words, how humans economize. A chapter is dedicated to detailed overviews of labor, property, capital, technology, and energy, and each topic is accompanied by vivid examples explaining its relevance to the reader. The third part of the book examines economizing in the social context, with chapters examining trade, money, the market order, and capitalism—important concepts that are often shrouded by misconceptions in most modern treatments. The fourth part of the book presents the Austrian perspective on monetary economics, laying the groundwork through a detailed discussion of time preference, followed by a discussion of banking and credit, and the business cycle and its monetary origins. The final section of the book explains why respect for property rights in an extended market order is the basis for human civilization, how the market order protects against aggression, and the failures of monopoly provision of defense.
