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.

FOREWORD BY JAY BHATTACHARYA, MD, PHD You remember the story: some locations did better than others on Covid because those places followed the rules, and others foolishly ignored them. Covid spread was your fault, you science hater! There is precisely zero evidence behind any aspect of this morality play, which is demolished by this book. Diary of a Psychosis is different from all other books on Covid: it traces the development of the government response as it happened, bit by bit, and subjects it to relentless scrutiny: did any of it do any good? It thereby preserves some of the crucial day-to-day details that other chronicles have forgotten. And it's those little details of the bizarre behavior of those years that, presented together, preserve for the reader the full horror of the madness of those dark days. The more people know the information in this book, the harder it will be for the ruling classes to do this to us again.

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.

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.

A Comprehensive Overview of the Past, Present, and Future of Money Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently. The book's goal is for the reader to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications. From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the reader through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the reader a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories. The book also takes a distinctively human look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society. In the modern era, energy abundance and technological enhancements have broadly improved human well-being, but the global monetary system has been slow to keep up. There are over 160 active currencies in the world, each with a local monopoly over its own country, and with little or no acceptance elsewhere. Many of them are rapidly diluted, which continually devalues the savings and the wages of the billions of people who live and work within those jurisdictions. Being born in the "wrong" country makes saving money far harder than it needs to be. Nigeria has a population of over 200 million people and has averaged 13% annualized inflation over the past decade. Egypt cut its currency in half relative to the dollar twice over the past decade, which instantly devalued the savings and wages of its 100 million citizens. Dozens of countries have experienced at least triple-digit year-over-year inflation within the past four decades, including Brazil that outright hyperinflated in the 1990s while it was the fifth most populous country in the world. Europe and Japan had $18 trillion worth of negative-yielding bonds in 2019, right before a wave of inflation wiped their purchasing power away. In 2021, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve dismissed the idea that the sharp rise in the money supply from the pandemic stimulus would lead to price inflation. By 2022, as major inflation emerged, the chairman rapidly changed his outlook and tightened monetary policy so quickly that it led to the failure of some of the largest banks in the country. How did we get to this point? Why isn't our money better than this in the 21st century? Broken Money answers these questions by examining the current mix of technology that has led to these limitations, and then explores emerging technologies that may be able to provide us with a monetary system that is fit for the modern era.

The New York Times bestselling author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels draws on the latest data and new insights to challenge everything you thought you knew about the future of energy For over a decade, philosopher and energy expert Alex Epstein has predicted that any negative impacts of fossil fuel use on our climate will be outweighed by the unique benefits of fossil fuels to human flourishing--including their unrivaled ability to provide low-cost, reliable energy to billions of people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people. And contrary to what we hear from media “experts” about today’s “renewable revolution” and “climate emergency,” reality has proven Epstein right: * Fact: Fossil fuels are still the dominant source of energy around the world, and growing fast—while much-hyped renewables are causing skyrocketing electricity prices and increased blackouts. * Fact: Fossil-fueled development has brought global poverty to an all-time low. * Fact: While fossil fuels have contributed to the 1 degree of warming in the last 170 years, climate-related deaths are at all-time lows thanks to fossil-fueled development. What does the future hold? In Fossil Future, Epstein, applying his distinctive “human flourishing framework” to the latest evidence, comes to the shocking conclusion that the benefits of fossil fuels will continue to far outweigh their side effects—including climate impacts—for generations to come. The path to global human flourishing, Epstein argues, is a combination of using more fossil fuels, getting better at “climate mastery,” and establishing “energy freedom” policies that allow nuclear and other truly promising alternatives to reach their full long-term potential. Today’s pervasive claims of imminent climate catastrophe and imminent renewable energy dominance, Epstein shows, are based on what he calls the “anti-impact framework”—a set of faulty methods, false assumptions, and anti-human values that have caused the media’s designated experts to make wildly wrong predictions about fossil fuels, climate, and renewables for the last fifty years. Deeply researched and wide-ranging, this book will cause you to rethink everything you thought you knew about the future of our energy use, our environment, and our climate.

Lysander Spooner's discontentment with the Constitution of the United States led him to publish No Treason, which revises significant parts of that document to reduce the power of the state versus individuals. The author was an anti-authoritarian philosopher and legal theorist who had spent his earlier life vigorously campaigning against slavery. Following the American Civil War however, he became horrified at the brutality and carnage that had been unleashed. Redoubling his criticisms, Spooner asserts his dismay that the U.S. government was rendered inert by its Constitution - slavery was only abolished after a long and bloody war, whereas had it been forbade at the outset, no such conflict would have arisen. A strong proponent of natural law - the concept that all humans had rights endowed at the point of their birth - Spooner had a sense of revulsion at how American politics had ensued in the early-to-mid 19th century. It was thus that No Treason was written in the hope of moderating the Constitution to ensure that slavery and bloody recriminations for secession would never again occur. In life, many of Spooner's actions versus authority were successful; his abolitionism consisted of circulating pamphlets including those suggesting guerrilla warfare by slaves, and prefaced the Civil War. Later in life his challenge to the postal monopolies successfully resulted in such monopolies being regulated to the point where mailing became much cheaper for all. Furthermore he advanced a cogent theory of self-employment, believing it a way to laborers avoiding or reducing their exploitation by employers.

Los dos clásicos distópicos de George Orwell reunidos en un estuche. 1984 En el año 1984 Londres es una ciudad lúgubre en la que la Policía del Pensamiento controla de forma asfixiante la vida de los ciudadanos. Winston Smith es un peón de este engranaje perverso y su cometido es reescribir la historia para adaptarla a lo que el Partido considera la versión oficial de los hechos. Hasta que decide replantearse la verdad del sistema que los gobierna y somete. _________________ Rebelión en la granja Esta sátira de la Revolución rusa y el triunfo del estalinismo, escrita en 1945, se ha convertido por derechos propio en un hito de la cultura contemporánea y en uno de los libros más mordaces de todos los tiempos. Ante el auge de los animales de la Granja Solariega, pronto detectamos las semillas de totalitarismo en una organización aparentemente ideal; y, en nuestros líderes más carismáticos, la sombra de los opresores más crueles. Las presentes ediciones, avaladas por The Orwell Estate, siguen fielmente el texto definitivo de las obras completas del autor, fijado por el profesor Peter Davison. 1984 incluye un epílogo del novelista Thomas Pynchon, que aporta al análisis su personal visión de los totalitarismos y la paranoia en el mundo moderno; Rebelión en la granja incluye un texto de Christopher Hitchens sobre la historia editorial de la obra. Miguel Temprano García y Marcial Souto firman las soberbias traducciones, que son las más reciente de cada una de las obras. Sobre las obras: 1984 «Aquí ya no estamos solo ante lo que habitualmente reconocemos como "literatura" e identificamos con la buena escritura. Aquí estamos, repito, ante energía visionaria.» Umberto Eco «1984 está entre mis libros favoritos, lo leo una y otra vez.» Margaret Atwood «No es difícil pensar que Orwell, en 1984, estuviera imaginando un futuro para la generación de su hijo, un mundo del que deseaba prevenirle.» Thomas Pynchon «La libertad es una obligación tan dolorosa que siempre habrá quien prefiera rendirse. La virtud de libros como 1984 es su capacidad para recordarnos que la libertad de los seres humanos responsables no es igual a la de los animales.» Anthony Burgess «Un libro magnífico y profundamente interesante.» Aldous Huxley Rebelión en la granja «Una obra literaria perfecta.» T.S. Elliot «El libro que todo el mundo, toda la gente de a pie, debería leer. No ha perdido un ápice de lucidez en cincuenta años.» Ruth Rendell «Casi antes que nadie él comprendió que la corrupción de las palabras es un síntoma y a la vez la causa de la corrupción del pensamiento.» Antonio Muñoz Molina «Desde Los viajes de Gulliver no se ha escrito una parábola tan profunda, mordiente y satírica como Rebelión en la granja.» Arthur Koestler
