[Spanish] - Sobre el anarquismo Audiobook

Con el espectro de la anarquía invocado por la derecha para sembrar el miedo, nunca ha sido más urgente una explicación convincente de la filosofía política conocida como anarquismo. Sobre el anarquismo arroja una luz muy necesaria sobre los fundamentos del pensamiento de Chomsky, específicamente su constante cuestionamiento de la legitimidad del poder atrincherado. El libro reúne algunos de sus ensayos y entrevistas, para proporcionar una breve y accesible introducción a su visión distintivamente optimista del anarquismo. Refutando la noción del mismo como una idea fija, Chomsky sugiere que se trata de una tradición viva y en evolución. Disputa las acostumbradas líneas divisorias entre anarquismo y socialismo, y hace hincapié en el poder de la acción colectiva, en lugar de la individualista. Profundamente relevante para nuestro tiempo, este libro desafía, provoca e inspira, y es un referente para los activistas políticos y cualquier persona interesada en profundizar su comprensión del anarquismo o del pensamiento de Chomsky. Conocido por su brillante disección de la política exterior norteamericana, el capitalismo de Estado y los medios de comunicación dominantes, Chomsky sigue siendo un formidable crítico sin remordimientos de la autoridad establecida y, quizás, el anarquista más famoso del mundo. Este audiolibro incluye una entrevista con el autor, en la que evalúa en retrospectiva sus escritos sobre el anarquismo hasta la fecha. 'El más importante de los pensadores contemporáneos.'—The New York Times 'Hay muchos Noam Chomsky. Está el Chomsky científico que revolucionó la lingüística moderna con el desarrollo del concepto de gramática transformacional y generativa. Y está el Chomsky activista político, el crítico del poder, uno de los referentes de la intelectualidad de la izquierda mundial que no deja pasar una oportunidad para denunciar las deficiencias democráticas de la sociedad estadounidense o de su política exterior o la manipulación de los medios de comunicación por parte de las corporaciones.'—Le Monde diplomatique 'La humildad de Noam Chomsky es el antídoto que precisa el purismo derrotista de tantos anarquistas actuales.'—Nathan Schneider 'Frente a actual deshumanización, o deshumanizada uniformidad, frente a los nuevos tipos de dominio y explotación, frente a la destrucción de derechos y libertades, el padre del estructuralismo apela a la igualdad, a la solidaridad y a la humanidad del anarquismo utópico.'—Juan Bolea, El periódico de Aragón

[German] - Andrew Carnegie: Die Hörbuch Box über den reichsten Mann der Welt: Das Evangelium des Rei

'Der Mann, der in Reichtum stirbt, stirbt in Schande!' In der Tat, das sagte Stahlbaron Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919). Gemessen an der Kaufkraft von 2014, besaß er ein Vermögen von über 300 Milliarden Dollar – und gab doch das meiste davon für wohltätige Zwecke wieder her. Dennoch – als einer der sogenannten 'Robber Barons', der Industriemagnate, die mit harten Bandagen unter Ausbeutung ihrer Arbeiter unfassbar reich wurden, ist das Urteil der Geschichte über ihn mehr als zwiespältig. In dieser autobiografischen Hörbuch Box dabei: Das Evangelium des Reichtums, Das gemeinschaftliche Interesse von Arbeit und Kapital, Das ABC des Geldes, Über das Sparen, Reichtum und sein Gebrauch, Geschäft - sowie eine kurze Biografie von Carl Adolf Bratter.

Empire, Incorporated: The Corporations That Built British Colonialism

Across four centuries, British colonialism was above all the business of corporations. Corporations conceived, promoted, financed, and governed overseas expansion, making claims over territory and peoples while ensuring that British and colonial society were invested, quite literally, in their ventures. Colonial companies were also relentlessly controversial, frequently in debt, and prone to failure. The corporation was well-suited to overseas expansion not because it was an inevitable juggernaut but because it was an elusive contradiction: public and private; person and society; subordinate and autonomous; centralized and diffuse; immortal and precarious; national and cosmopolitan-a legal fiction with very real power. Breaking from traditional histories in which corporations take a supporting role by doing the dirty work of sovereign states in exchange for commercial monopolies, Philip Stern argues that corporations took the lead in global expansion and administration. As Empire, Incorporated makes clear, venture colonialism did not cease with the end of empire. Challenging conventional wisdom about where power is held on a global scale, Stern complicates the supposedly firm distinction between private enterprise and the state, offering a new history of the British Empire, as well as a new history of the corporation.

Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs

Nationally best-selling author (The Tyranny of Big Tech), constitutional lawyer, and U.S. senator for the state of Missouri argues that the character of men and the male virtue that goes along with it is a necessary ingredient to a functioning society and a healthy, free republic. A free society that despises manhood will not remain free. The American Founders believed that a republic depends on certain masculine virtues. Senator Josh Hawley thinks they were right. In a bold new book, he calls on American men to stand up and embrace their God-given responsibility as husbands, fathers, and citizens. No republic has ever survived without men of character to defend what is just and true. Starting with the wisdom of the ancients, from the Greek and Roman philosophers to Jesus of Nazareth, and drawing on the lessons of American history, Hawley identifies the defining strengths of men, including responsibility, bravery, fidelity, and leadership. As Theodore Roosevelt declared, the "very existence of the state depends on the character of its citizens…. I am for business. But I am for manhood first." Hawley shows why the foolhardy assault on masculinity in education, the media, the workplace, and every level of government is an assault on freedom itself. Practical, down to earth, and urgent, Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs is required reading for every American patriot.

Mere Natural Law: Originalism and the Anchoring Truths of the Constitution

Originalism Is Not Enough The Founding Fathers held certain truths to be "self-evident." Do we? In this profoundly important reassessment of constitutional interpretation, the eminent legal philosopher Hadley Arkes argues that "originalism" alone is an inadequate answer to the judicial activism of the left. Without recourse to "mere Natural Law"-the moral principles knowable by all-our legal and constitutional system is doomed to incoherence. With the demise of Roe v. Wade, conservatives savored a landmark victory in the long campaign to reclaim the courts. But on questions as momentous as marriage, equality under the law, and "transgenderism," our judicial system is still arrayed against them. Why aren't they winning? The answer, says Arkes, is that conservatives have missed the forest for the trees. For fifty years, they have emphasized originalism, a fine tactic but a terrible strategy for saving the rule of law. When liberals "discovered" hitherto-unknown rights in the emanations and penumbras of a "living constitution," conservatives retreated to the text. But the men who framed and ratified the Constitution never meant to confine our rights to its words. They fought a revolution to vindicate "self-evident" moral truths about human nature and the preexisting rights given to us by "Nature and Nature's God." Until we rediscover Natural Law, nothing will stop the imposition of a perverse moral vision on our institutions and our lives. Brilliant in its analysis, essential in its argument, Mere Natural Law is a must read for everyone who cares about the Constitution, morality, and the rule of law.
