This sweeping book is a systematic treatment of the historic transformation of the West from limited monarchy to unlimited democracy. Revisionist in nature, it reaches the conclusion that monarchy, with all its failings, is a lesser evil than mass democracy but outlines deficiencies in both as systems of guarding liberty.

Revisado: 12-07-24
Stark and insightful fresh perspective on the work we live in and how it really works.
Written from first principle standpoint Hoppe leaves the reader forever aware of the many incentives underlying the institutions built to control us - be prepared to reassess your foundational beliefs.

Murray Rothbard was known as the state's greatest living enemy, and this audiobook is his most powerful statement on the topic. He explains what a state is and what it is not. He shows how it is an institution that violates all that we hold as honest and moral, and how it operates under a false cover.

The world looks different after reading this
Revisado: 09-15-24
Rothbard reveals our true relationship with the state - and it’s an abusive one. Stripping back our familiar conditioning, Rothbard boldly asks why we allow a relationship that steals, lies and unhesitatingly uses force upon us.

Marxism is a term that many people freely use, but few seem to grasp its implications. Sowell's book is the antidote to this problem. He writes in a fluid and easy-to-follow manner, leading the listener through the Marxian scheme of ideas. Along the way, he shatters some existing interpretations of Marx-interpretations that have developed through repetition rather than through scholarship.

Outstanding detailed analysis of origins theories and ultimate failure of Marxist theories. Envy and dark triad traits are evident in this truly evil ideology.

Rob Henderson was born to a drug-addicted mother and a father he never met, ultimately shuttling between ten different foster homes in California. When he was adopted into a loving family, he hoped that life would finally be stable and safe. But divorce, tragedy, poverty, and violence marked his adolescent and teen years, propelling Henderson to join the military upon completing high school.

Gripping and Elucidating Journey
Revisado: 04-05-24
Henderson brings the reader along on the soul bearing journey of his life. In relating the tragedies and people/facts, Troubled examines the current Foster Care system’s flawed design which primarily benefits bureaucrats and many exploitive “parents”.
The authors time at Yale and the observation of the passive-aggressive game of public “virtue” for personal gain was insightful. This helped me understand why so many of our institutions are failing as they are led by many self-serving, low-character Ivy grads devoid of real world life experiences.
This book also changed my concept of child development by exploring how chaos/trauma at a young age can make it almost statistically impossible to become a self-sufficient, high contributor to strengthen our society.
Grateful for the authors self-reflective life story that inspired an examination my own..

The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

At 93, Thomas Sowells continues to cut thru the emotional chaff with first principles and fact based logic. A great work that provides calm clarity for the reader exhibiting the benefits of Liberty and freedom juxtaposed with the well intentioned calamity of Govt excess.

Lisec distills multiple best practices, effective reframes and enticing possibilities (see ending). Narrator Marshall energetic delivery and timely humor came across like a lively discussion with funny friend.

For decades environmentalists have told us that using fossil fuels is a self-destructive addiction that will destroy our planet. Yet by every measure of human well-being, from life expectancy to clean water to climate safety, life has been getting better and better. How can this be? The explanation is that we usually hear only one side of the story. We're taught to think only of the negatives of fossil fuels, their risks and side effects, but not their positives.

Moral Cause of our time for the Un-privileged Billions
Revisado: 01-08-23
It is repugnant to deny fellow humans the means to live longer, better lives. Forcing the undeveloped world to live at a survival use dung and destroy their natural resources level just so western elites can “virtue flex” their utter ignorance is abhorrent. Having spent much of my life around the world it is the definition of evil to make other humans suffer due to insufferable arrogance of their supposed “betters” proudly killing them with pathological “compassion”…

This book covers bitcoin’s blocksize war, which was waged from August 2015 to November 2017. On the surface, the battle was about the amount of data allowed in each bitcoin block, however it exposed much deeper issues, such as who controls bitcoin’s protocol rules. It is not possible to cover every twist and turn in the labyrinthine conflict or all the arguments, but I have provided a chronology of the most significant events. This book explores some of the major characters in the conflict and includes coverage, from both the front lines and behind the scenes.

Revisado: 07-24-22
A great story how human hubris and ego bred from a culture of Technical success almost destroyed Bitcoin. Ultimately the humility, judiciousness and patience of the Devs for a long term solution of layered money (Lightning) overcame institutional money and VC approach to an open network. Will likely be required reading on subject of Bitcoin when history looks back on this time…

There’s a new invisible force at work in our economic and cultural lives. It affects every advertisement we see and every product we buy, from our morning coffee to a new pair of shoes. “Stakeholder capitalism” makes rosy promises of a better, more diverse, environmentally friendly world, but in reality, this ideology, championed by America’s business and political leaders, robs us of our money, our voice, and our identity.

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.

The terrible human price for First World arrogance
Revisado: 06-09-22
This book greatly helped in understanding the well intentioned policies that are not only causing suffering from high fuel prices and rolling blackouts, but actual human lives in Africa/Asia/S and Central America. Looking at a true cost benefit analysis instead of a zero sum misguided morality is the way forward for all 8 billion of us on the planet.
