Desmontando la leyenda negra desde Bartolomé de las Casas hasta el separatismo catalán. «En Madre patria, el profesor Marcelo Gullo Omodeo demuestra que lo que está pasando ahora en España, en su contexto histórico y geográfico, es imposible de separar de la América hispana. Las cuentas pendientes son las mismas: afianzar las democracias y conjurar la inestabilidad territorial, cara y cruz de la misma moneda. Sorprende que el autor viva la profunda crisis que España atraviesa con tanta implicación y más sentido de la responsabilidad que muchos españoles». María Elvira Roca Barea En este monumental libro, Marcelo Gullo Omodeo demuestra que la leyenda negra fue la obra más genial del marketing político británico. Que, de manera inconcebible, los españoles se han creído la historia de España e Hispanoamérica que escribieron sus enemigos tradicionales, y se avergüenzan de un pasado del que deberían sentirse orgullosos. Que Hernán Cortés no fue el conquistador de México, sino el libertador de cientos de pueblos indígenas que estaban sometidos al imperialismo más feroz que ha conocido la historia de la humanidad: el de los aztecas. Que no fueron Pizarro y el puñado de españoles que lo acompañaban los que pusieron fin al imperialismo totalitario de los incas, sino los indios huancas, los chachapoyas y los huaylas. Que las masas indígenas en Colombia, Ecuador y Perú se mantuvieron fieles a la Corona española hasta el final. Que los libertadores Simón Bolívar y José de San Martín no quisieron romper de forma absoluta los vínculos que unían a América con España, sino que buscaron con todas sus fuerzas la creación de un gran imperio constitucional hispanocriollo con capital en Madrid. O que la responsabilidad de la disolución del Imperio español la tuvo Fernando VII, que prefirió estar preso en Europa y no libre en América. Concluye el autor señalando que nada separa a España de América, ni a América de España, salvo la mentira y la falsificación de la historia, y que el futuro de ambas depende de que sean capaces de desterrar para siempre el mito de la leyenda negra de la conquista española de América.

Un mundo feliz es un clásico de la literatura del siglo XX, una sombría metáfora de un futuro posible. Los peores vaticinios del capitalismo se han cumplido: triunfan los dioses del consumo y la comodidad, y el orbe se divide en diez zonas en apariencia seguras y estables. Los humanos ya no procrean, el sexo se ha convertido solo en una diversión y las letras del alfabeto griego se han pervertido para clasificar a los seres humanos por castas. Todos aceptan su lugar en la nueva jerarquía social, perfectamente ordenada. Los valores humanos esenciales no tienen cabida en este mundo y los habitantes se crean in vitro con una técnica concebida a imagen y semejanza de una cadena de montaje. El soma, la droga por excelencia en este mundo distópico que propone Huxley, ayuda a los habitantes a escapar de la rutina. A cambio de este orden pulcro, la libertad de expresión y el pensamiento crítico han sido erradicados. Bernard Marx, el protagonista de la novela, inconformista e inteligente, deberá probar los límites de la sociedad que lo ha engendrado, iniciando un viaje más allá de las fronteras distópicas de su universo. La crítica ha dicho: «Según los ojos con que se mire, Un mundo feliz retrata una utopía perfecta o su horrendo opuesto, una distopía: sus hermosos habitantes viven seguros y libres de enfermedades y preocupaciones, pero lo hacen de un modo que, queremos creer, sería inaceptable para nosotros.» Margaret Atwood «Aldous Huxley fue un hombre extraordinariamente profético, no hay otro novelista en el siglo XX que haya escrito una guía más sagaz del futuro.» J.G. Ballard «Un mundo feliz también ha conservado su mordacidad satírica y una expresión de gran impacto aforístico, con un vívido sentido del poder del lenguaje y de las ideas en una sociedad humana cambiante.» Robert McCrum, The Guardian

¿Cómo podemos beneficiarnos de las promesas del Gobierno y evitar al mismo tiempo la amenaza que éste supone para la libertad individual? En este libro ya clásico, Milton Friedman presenta el compendio definitivo de su influyente filosofía económica. Su objetivo principal es analizar el papel del capitalismo competitivo. Ese sistema económico, dice Friedman, es una condición necesaria para la libertad política. Pero una pregunta recorre estas páginas: ¿qué papel debe desempeñar el Gobierno en una sociedad libre, que confía principalmente en el mercado para organizar la actividad económica? Publicado por primera vez en 1962, Capitalismo y libertad es una de las obras de teoría económica más importantes que se han escrito. Su prolongada influencia la ha convertido en un referente: ha vendido casi un millón de ejemplares de la edición original, se ha traducido a diecinueve idiomas y sigue ejerciendo un poderoso influjo en el pensamiento económico y el trabajo de autoridades políticas y económicas de todo el mundo. Sus planteamientos sobre el mercado, la libertad y el Gobierno son, aún hoy, un modelo fundamental para el liberalismo y para quienes ven en las decisiones económicas libres una condición imprescindible para la libertad política.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lucy Score returns to Knockemout, Virginia, following fan-favorite Things We Never Got Over with Knox's brother Nash's story. Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. Nash isn't about to let anyone in his life know he's struggling. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she's not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash's touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk. Too bad Lina's got secrets of her own, and if Nash finds out the real reason she's in town, he'll never forgive her. Besides, she doesn't do relationships. Ever. A hot, short-term fling with a local cop? Absolutely. Sign her up. A relationship with a man who expects her to plant roots? No freaking way. Once she gets what she's after, she has no intention of sticking around. But Knockemout has a way of getting under people's skin. And once Nash decides to make Lina his, he's not about to be dissuaded…even if it means facing the danger that nearly killed him.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER / #1 WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER / #1 PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY BESTSELLER / #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER No American leader has accomplished more for his state than Governor Ron DeSantis. Now he reveals how he did it. He played baseball for Yale, graduated with honors from Harvard Law School, and served in Iraq and in the halls of Congress. But in all these places, Ron DeSantis learned the same lesson: He didn’t want to be part of the leftist elite. His heart was always for the people of Florida, one of the most diverse and culturally rich states in the union. Since becoming governor of the Sunshine State, he has fought—and won—battle after battle, defeating not just opposition from the political left, but a barrage of hostile media coverage proclaiming the end of the world. When he implemented COVID-19 policies based on evidence and focused on freedoms, the press launched a smear campaign against him, yet Florida’s economy thrived, its education system outperformed the nation, and Florida’s COVID mortality rate for seniors was lower than that in thirty-eight states. When he enacted policies to keep leftist political concepts like critical race theory and woke gender ideology out of Florida’s classrooms, the media demagogued his actions, but parents across Florida rallied to his cause. Dishonest attacks from the media don’t deter him. In fact, DeSantis keeps racking up wins for Floridians. In 2022, the governor delivered a historic, record-setting victory, winning by nearly 20 points and more than 1.5 million votes. A firsthand account from the blue-collar boy who grew up to take on Disney and Dr. Fauci, The Courage to Be Free delivers something rare from an elected leader: stories of victory. This book is a winning blueprint for patriots across the country. And it is a rallying cry for every American who wishes to preserve our liberties.

In The Fiat Standard, world-renowned economist Saifedean Ammous applies his unique analytical lens to the fiat monetary system, explaining it as a feat of engineering and technology just as he did for bitcoin in his global bestseller The Bitcoin Standard. This time, Ammous delves into the world's earlier shift from the gold standard to today's system of government-backed fiat money—outlining the fiat standard's purposes and failures; deriving the wider economic, political, and social implications of its use; and examining how bitcoin will affect it over time. With penetrating insight, Ammous analyzes global political currencies by analogy to bitcoin: how they're "mined" whenever government-guaranteed entities create loans, their lack of inherent restraints on inflation, and the rampant government intervention that has resulted in heavy, devastating, and persistent distortions to global markets for food, fuel, science, and education. Through these comparisons, Ammous demonstrates that bitcoin could be our next step forward—providing high salability across space, just like the fiat system, but without the unchecked fiat-denominated debt. Rather than a messy hyperinflationary collapse, the rise of bitcoin could look like a debt jubilee and an orderly upgrade to the world's monetary operating system, revolutionizing global capital and energy markets.
