MP3 CD Format Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus: a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller--nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read. Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey of five thousand people conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club in 1991. In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts? This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, he sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battle not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? The answers will be revealed once you discover the reason behind the baffling events that wreak havoc on the lives of the amazing men and women in this remarkable book. Tremendous in scope and breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus, which launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon. Atlas Shrugged emerged as a premier moral apologia for capitalism, a defense that had an electrifying effect on millions of readers (and now listeners) who had never heard capitalism defended in other than technical terms.

While doing research for a school project on black slavery, four white high school students make a shocking discovery about the forgotten history of white servitude in Colonial America. They learn it was just as cruel and widespread as black slavery, and are now forced to make a choice: Turn in a politically correct project on black slavery, or defy their anti-white teacher by focusing on white slavery, thereby risking being attacked as racists and possibly being expelled. Their futures—and their very identities as white Americans—lay in the balance.

Carl Menger, un economista desconocido para la mayoría de los iniciados que han oído hablar de Keynes o Friedman, ha sido el único capaz de dar una explicación satisfactoria del origen de esa institución social que todos conocemos y manejamos, el dinero. Pero el olvido de sus ideas monetarias que han permanecido semiocultas en lengua alemana hasta hace bien poco, ha sido un auténtico lastre para la política que han venido practicando nuestros bancos centrales y ha ocasionado ya dos grandes crisis, destruyendo miles de empresas y millones de puestos de trabajo. La economía mundial vivió un largo periodo de expansión y mejora de los salarios reales entre 1870 y 1914 mientras Inglaterra pudo mantener la hegemonía de su moneda nacional convertible, la libra esterlina. El dólar convertible de los Estados Unidos fue capaz de sacarnos de la destrucción de una guerra mundial. Pero, con toda seguridad, esto no va a ser lo mismo en ausencia de centros financieros hegemónicos, Como resultado, tendremos que replantearnos el régimen institucional en el que han venido desenvolviéndose, hasta ahora, nuestras instituciones bancarias y que está amenazando directamente la solvencia de los propios Estados. Los días de la macroeconomía convencional elaborada durante todo el siglo pasado, al margen de las ideas monetarias de Carl Menger, están contados, como percibirá el lector atento de este pequeño ensayo del economista austriaco que había permanecido inédito hasta ahora en nuestro país y viene precedido de una jugosa introducción que firman José Antonio de Aguirre y Lorenzo Infantino de la Fundación Hayek de Roma.

The "Apocrypha, King James Version" is a significant text that supplements the canonical books of the Bible as found in the King James Version (KJV). The term "Apocrypha" refers to a collection of ancient texts that are not considered part of the official Jewish or Protestant Christian canons but are included in some versions of the Bible used by Catholic and Orthodox Christians. This edition of the Apocrypha presents a selection of books that provide insights into the historical, cultural, and religious context of the period between the Old and New Testaments. It includes books such as Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, Ecclesiasticus (Sirach), Baruch, and additions to Esther and Daniel, among others. The content of the Apocrypha varies widely, including historical narratives, wisdom literature, prayers, and reflections on faith and morality. These texts offer readers additional perspectives on religious beliefs, ethical teachings, and cultural practices prevalent during the time they were written. The inclusion of the Apocrypha in the King James Version reflects the historical tradition of early Christian communities, where these texts were often read alongside the canonical Scriptures. While not considered divinely inspired by all religious traditions, they are valued for their contribution to understanding the religious and cultural milieu of the ancient Near East. Readers of the "Apocrypha, King James Version" can gain a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of religious thought and expression that emerged during the intertestamental period, bridging the gap between the Old and New Testaments. Whether for scholarly study, spiritual reflection, or historical interest, this edition serves as a valuable resource for exploring the diverse literature of ancient Judaism and early Christianity.

“It’s a seemingly impossible task to select the best of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) whose teaching and writing career spanned six decades and whose literary output includes several mighty and timeless treatises on political economy. They were not written in isolation from the real and often horrifying events of the 20th century; they were heavily informed by the brilliance and tragedy of his life experiences – including as a refugee forced to flee his home in Vienna – in battling every form of totalitarianism. I’ve been reading his work since the dawn of my intellectual consciousness but I’ve yet to discover the end of his capacity to illuminate the world around us. I never fail to profit from re-reading even the books I think I understand best. Learning from Mises is a lifelong project. Even so, these five essays carry amazing power, as you will soon discover.” ~ Jeffrey Tucker, Editorial Director, American Institute for Economic Research Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises (1881-1973) was an economist, historian, and philosopher. Mises wrote and lectured extensively on behalf of the market order and is best known for his 1949 book Human Action. Mises worked and taught in Vienna until he was driven out by the Nazi movement in 1934. He took sanctuary in Geneva until 1940, immigrated to the United States, and eventually taught at New York University. Mises’s colleague Friedrich Hayek viewed Mises as one of the major figures in the revival of liberalism in the post-war era. Mises’s Private Seminar in Vienna was a formative event for many social scientists of the period, and many of its alumni, including Hayek and Oskar Morgenstern, emigrated from Austria to the United States and Great Britain.

The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky with an introduction by Agnes Cardinal, Prince Myshkin returns to Russia from an asylum in Switzerland. As he becomes embroiled in the frantic amatory and financial intrigues which centre around a cast of brilliantly realised characters and which ultimately lead to tragedy, he emerges as a unique combination of the Christian ideal of perfection and Dostoevsky's own views, afflictions and manners. His serene selflessness is contrasted with the worldly qualities of every other character in the novel. Dostoevsky supplies a harsh indictment of the Russian ruling class of his day who have created a world which cannot accomodate the goodness of this idiot.
