Childhood images ruined

Revisado: 09-20-20

Although it is necessary to inform oneself about history and childhood heroes, it is certainly uncomfortable when it turns out they represent the exact opposite of what I’ve been taught.

A great view of a man and an époque

Revisado: 09-22-17

This is economic history. It gave me a greater understanding of his time and how he got to develop his views. It was even exciting, at times, and the book gave me a better understanding of recent history.

Very interesting on happiness and other topics.

Dull at times, but brilliantly enlightening. People interested in self-improvement would benefit from this book. I might recommend getting the paper edition, to make it a quicker read.

Libertarian theory in one hour

I thought this was brilliantly summarized and explained. It feels like the author really has understood human behavior and incentives.

Introduction to libertarianism

Revisado: 06-21-16

This book can serve as a great introduction to libertarianism and capitalism/anarchism. It was a much easier language then ordinary scholarly economists write. Various topics are touched upon: History, politics, individualism, economics etc. What an inspiration and source for further reading!

A lot to take in.

Revisado: 03-18-16

I like the way Rothbard relays the facts. He distinguishes clearly between his analysis and the actual history of money and banking. This book changes my view of the history in general.
About the narration: Very well enunciated at a comfortable speed, given the complexity of the subject. Minor issues with word stress; stressing correct words among groups of words.

Excellent book, although I was unhappy with the narration.

Revisado: 11-12-15

This book was great! I love the way they structured the information. Everything led up to the conclusion, which was, take control of the situation yourself. I will read this book again to make notes on how to organize my own health care.
The narrator's frequent laughter, poor pausation, and inconsistent pronunciation was disturbing to the flow of thought. However, poor narration is better than no narration :-)

Why was I not taught this in the public school?

Eye opener. This book changes my view on the reasons for why ww1 started. Very interesting analysis of the economics of the different empires.

I love his approach and conclusions

Revisado: 10-15-15

The author takes the common perception of success and analyzes it and comes up with a wholly new conclusion of how to achieve it. He uses very interesting real life examples, however, it was a little bit boring when he talked about plane crashes. But, that was only until I understood what he wanted to explain about it.
