Desvela los mecanismos ocultos de la dominación mundial con Globalismo: Ingeniería social y control total en el siglo XXI. El exitoso autor Agustín Laje desentraña magistralmente la malvada realidad de nuestro mundo moderno e ilumina las tinieblas de las fuerzas de poder que tratan de controlar a la humanidad. El globalismo no es globalización, sino una demoledora ideología que supone el más ambicioso proyecto de ingeniería social y control total en curso. Institucionalizada en organizaciones que, por definición, no tienen ni patria, ni territorio ni pueblo, esta ideología pretende parir un régimen político antidemocrático de alcance global. Así la soberanía de las naciones se redistribuye entre organizaciones supranacionales como el Foro Económico Mundial o la ONU con su Agenda 2030, liberadas de las limitaciones de los intereses particulares de los pueblos, para coordinar las transformaciones necesarias para nuestra «supervivencia». El globalismo también propone nuevas formas de legitimidad basadas en la tecnocracia y la supuesta filantropía de organizaciones como la Fundación Gates, la Open Society de Soros, y la Fundación Rockefeller. En esta obra, Agustín Laje explica magistralmente el origen y la formación del contrato social de nuestros Estados nacionales sobre una base democrática, mostrando cómo el globalismo busca culpabilizar estas estructuras para llevarnos a un callejón sin salida, donde todo se cede a una gobernanza global no representativa, la máxima expresión de la oligarquía de unos pocos privilegiados a los que nadie votó, y que ante nadie rinden cuentas pero que pretenden dirigir el destino del planeta. El autor llama a todos los actores sociales, políticos, religiosos e intelectuales a unirse contra el globalismo. La paradoja de que los patriotas olviden sus fronteras para esta batalla cultural adquiere un nuevo significado. Conocer la verdad y denunciar la mentira es un arma valiosa que este libro ofrece. Globalism Uncover the secret workings of world domination with Globalism: Social Engineering and Total Control in the 21st Century. Best-selling author Agustín Laje masterfully unravels the sinister reality of our modern world and sheds light on the darkness of the forces of power that seek to control humanity. Globalism is not globalization, but rather a devastating ideology representing the most ambitious social engineering and total-control project currently underway. Institutionalized by organizations such as the World Economic Forum or the UN with its Agenda 2030, Globalism also promotes new forms of legitimacy based on “technocracy” and the supposed philanthropy of organizations such as the Gates Foundation, Soros’ Open Society, and the Rockefeller Foundation. In this book, Agustín Laje skillfully explains the origin and formation of the social contract of our nation-States based on democracy, demonstrating how globalism seeks to blame these structures in order to steer us into a dead-end, where everything is handed over to a non-representative global governance. This represents the ultimate expression of an oligarchy formed by a few privileged elites who were elected by no one and are accountable to nobody, yet aim to dictate the destiny of the planet. The author calls on all social, political, religious, and intellectual figures to unite against globalism. The paradox of patriots disregarding their borders for this cultural battle takes on a new significance. Knowing the truth and denouncing the lie is a valuable weapon that this book offers.

The panic of 1819 was America's first great economic crisis. And this is Murray Rothbard's masterful account, the first full scholarly book on the topic and still the most definitive. It was his dissertation, published in 1962 but nearly impossible to get until this new edition.The American Economic Review was wild for this book when it appeared: "Rothbard's work represents the only published, book-length, academic treatise on the remedies that were proposed, debated, and enacted in attempts to cope with the crisis of 1819," the reviewer wrote. "As such, the book should certainly find a place on the shelf of the study of U.S. business cycles and of the economic historian who is interested in the early economic development of the United States."And specialists have treasured the book for years. It is incredible to realize that some American historians think of M.N. Rothbard as the author of this book and nothing else!The panic of 1819 grew largely out of the changes wrought by the War of 1812, and by the postwar boom that followed. The war also brought a rash of paper money, as the government borrowed heavily to finance the conflict. This would inevitably lead to suspension of specie payments in some parts of the country in 1814.Freed from the shackles of hard money, the suspension of specie led to a boom. When peace came, the so did the bust.But in the end, there was no widespread confusion on what caused the downturn. Instead, it was widely known that false prosperity is a very dangerous thing. It always turns to bust. But unlike today, the government didn't intervene. And precisely because there was no intervention, the panic ended quickly and peacefully.What we have here, then, is not only a dazzling historical account — the research here is deep and thorough, and the prose a model of exposition; it also points the way to how all economic downturns can and should be handled. For that reason, the Panic of 1819 offers important lessons for us today.To search for Mises Institute titles, enter a keyword and LvMI (short for Ludwig von Mises Institute); e.g., Depression LvMI

What is at the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? What does justice demand of us in this conflict? This book clarifies an intimidatingly complex issue—and upends conventional views about America’s stake in it. In this book, Elan Journo explains the essential nature of the conflict, and what has fueled it for so long. What justice demands, he shows, is that we evaluate both adversaries—and America's approach to the conflict—according to a universal moral ideal: individual liberty. From that secular moral framework, the book analyzes the conflict, examines major Palestinian grievances and Israel's character as a nation, and explains what's at stake for everyone who values human life, freedom, and progress. What Justice Demands shows us why America should be strongly supportive of freedom and freedom-seekers—but, in this conflict and across the Middle East, it hasn't been, much to our detriment.

The third entry into the New York Times bestselling series, To Challenge Heaven brings another thrilling adventure from the masters of military science fiction, David Weber and Chris Kennedy. In a universe teeming with predators, humanity needs friends. And fast. We've come a long way in the forty years since the Shongairi attacked Earth, killed half its people, and then were driven away by an alliance of humans with the other sentient bipeds who inhabit our planet. We took the technology they left behind, and rapidly built ourselves into a starfaring civilization. Because we haven't got a moment to lose. Because it's clear that there are even more powerful, more hostile aliens out there, and Earth needs allies. But it also transpires that the Shongairi expedition that nearly destroyed our home planet ... wasn't an official one. That, indeed, its commander may have been acting as an unwitting cats-paw for the Founders, the ancient alliance of very old, very evil aliens who run the Hegemony that dominates our galaxy, and who hold the Shongairi, as they hold most non-Founder species, in not-so-benign contempt. Indeed, it may turn out to be possible to turn the Shongairi into our allies against the Hegemony. There's just the small matter of the Shongairi honor code, which makes bushido look like a child's game. We might be able to make them our friends -- if we can crush their planetary defenses in the greatest battle we, or they, have ever seen...

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind shows why empathy in politics leads to civilizational collapse. What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected. In his new book, Suicidal Empathy, Saad unleashes a blistering critique of maladaptively irrational altruism that has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. We are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline. Lunatic policies are instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over The Truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. This is not humane; it’s an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free. This crisis of empathy creates a horrifying system of inverse morality where the strong and successful are demonized, and the destructive are celebrated. Just look at the insane inversions we tolerate daily: we prefer illegal migrants over our own legal citizens and veterans, permit drug addicts to threaten children’s safety in parks, and elevate transgender 'women' above biological women in sports and safe spaces. Common sense is dying in a deluge of misguided compassion. Suicidal Empathy is your wake-up call. Stop ignoring your survival instincts in the name of political correctness. This isn't just misguided policy; it is the ultimate expression of a culture actively choosing its own demise.

Juan Ramón Rallo reconstruye y destruye en dos tomos el pensamiento económico de Marx Karl Marx es incuestionablemente uno de los pensadores más influyentes de la historia. Ningún otro autor ha logrado un predicamento similar al suyo en disciplinas tan dispares como la Economía, la Filosofía, la Historiografía, la Sociología o las Ciencias Políticas. Sus ideas han alentado movimientos sociales y políticos de masas que en muchos casos llegaron a tomar el poder y a aplicar un programa revolucionario de inspiración marxista. De entre toda la abundantísima literatura que existe sobre Marx, este libro de Juan Ramón Rallo es único por dos motivos. En primer lugar, no hay otra obra que ofrezca simultáneamente una revisión sobre Marx y a la vez contra Marx tan extensa y detallada. En segundo lugar, no existe hasta el momento una crítica integral a la teoría económica marxista tan meticulosa y ordenada como la que presenta Rallo. El primer tomo está dirigido a presentar el pensamiento marxista, especialmente ―aunque no exclusivamente― en su vertiente económica, de un modo sistemático y aséptico: no se pretende ni distorsionar ni caricaturizar a Marx, sino simplemente explicar, del modo más accesible posible, cuáles fueron sus ideas. Con este fin, Rallo revisa, desmenuza e integra la extensa obra de Marx, desde La crítica a la filosofía del derecho de Hegel a las Glosas marginales a Adolf Wagner, pasando por Los Manuscritos económico-filosóficos de 1844, La ideología alemana, La miseria de la filosofía, los Grundrisse, las Teorías sobre la plusvalía, sus artículos en prensa, sus manifiestos políticos, su correspondencia personal y, por supuesto, los tres monumentales volúmenes de El Capital. A través del análisis conjunto de toda esta literatura, auxiliada por el estudio de la obra de Engels y de otros destacados intelectuales marxistas, Rallo consigue exponer de un modo coherente las teorías de Marx sobre el valor, el dinero, el capital, la explotación, los precios, los salarios, las ganancias, las clases sociales, el crecimiento económico, las crisis económicas y el advenimiento del comunismo. En el segundo tomo Rallo hace una crítica exhaustiva y rigurosa del pensamiento marxista: su objetivo es detallar y demostrar todos los errores que cometió Marx al describir la estructura y el funcionamiento del capitalismo para, al mismo tiempo, exponer cuáles son las auténticas anatomía y dinámica de la sociedad moderna. En suma, se pretende rescatar al capitalismo de la crítica marxista a través de la crítica a Marx: una crítica a la crítica.  Con este fin, Rallo desmonta paciente y escalonadamente los pilares que sostienen el edificio intelectual del marxismo. En primer lugar, las mercancías son intercambiables por ser bienes económicos que satisfacen necesidades humanas y se intercambian en función de la importancia relativa de las necesidades que permiten satisfacer. En segundo lugar, valor de uso y valor no son facetas contradictorias de la mercancía, sino facetas que se complementan y potencian mutuamente: el valor no anula al valor de uso, sino que contribuye a multiplicarlo y a desarrollarlo. En tercer lugar, el capitalista no es capitalista por explotar la fuerza de trabajo del obrero, sino por suministrar tiempo, protección e información dentro del proceso de producción, elevando así la productividad social y, por tanto, elevando el bienestar de todos (incluido el del obrero). En cuarto lugar, la circulación del capital no profundiza la separación entre el obrero y los medios de producción, sino que posibilita la capitalización histórica del obrero. En quinto lugar, los precios de producción de las mercancías no guardan ninguna conexión necesaria con sus valores-trabajo sino con sus utilidades marginales para los compradores. En sexto lugar, las clases sociales no están predeterminadas por la posición de cada individuo respecto al control social de los medios de producción, sino que la estructura de control de los medios de producción depende de las funciones económicas que cada individuo desempeñe a través o al margen de esos medios de producción. En séptimo lugar, no hay ninguna tendencia a que la tasa general de ganancia decrezca a largo plazo o, al menos, no por las razones que expone Marx. Y, por último, el comunismo no es una inevitabilidad histórica y su promesa de liberación de la humanidad supondría, en realidad, la supresión de la libertad individual. En su Anti-Marx, Juan Ramón Rallo aborda la titánica tarea de reconstruir y destruir a la vez el pensamiento económico de Marx. Se trata de la más ambiciosa crítica al marxismo escrita hasta la fecha.
