These 24 thought-provoking lectures offer you the chance to reflect on some of the most powerful moral issues we face in our daily lives: Is it ever OK to lie? What are our moral obligations to others? What is the key to living the good life? From Plato to Kant to Bonhoeffer, you'll see how some of the world's greatest thinkers from across the ages have approached similar problems.

Good discussion but not deep
Revisado: 04-29-22
It is a great introductory book because it ties moral questions and the arguments of famous philosophers with everyday situations. But a lot of times the arguments are not laid out in detail, so they are difficult to understand fully.

In this fifth edition of Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell revises and updates his popular book on commonsense economics, bringing the world into clearer focus through a basic understanding of the fundamental economic principles and how they explain our lives. Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English.

Not a Basic Economics Book
Revisado: 07-14-18
I am surprised by the flying-colour ratings. Like many others have pointed out, this book is not well supported by data and it is not a "basic economics" book as the title claims. It is a Libertarian economics book, yet nowhere in the book is this context stated. The author does not give the reader any overview of the different branches of economics. The author's claims are at best supported by anecdotes, and often not at all. Because I do not know anything about economics before this book, I found it difficult to distinguish what are commonly accepted facts and what are Libertarian-only perspectives in this book. Yet, the author claims everything that he presented in this book to be "facts".
The narrator is good enough for me. Some comments said that the narrative is too slow and dull. But - may be it is because I am a non-native speaker, the pace suites me well.
