El Tratado y discurso sobre la moneda de vellón, publicado en 1609, está considerada una obra precursora de la economía liberal y al autor le supuso la persecución por parte de las autoridades españolas. En ella, De Mariana defiende la propiedad privada y la necesidad de que el rey cuente con el consentimiento del pueblo para exigir impuestos. Asimismo, denuncia una practica habitual en la epoca y que la Casa de Austria utilizo reiteradamente para aumentar los ingresos del Estado: reducir el contenido de metal noble en las monedas. En este caso, el de las monedas de vellon, que estaban hechas de una aleacion de plata y cobre. Con gran perspicacia, De Mariana se dio cuenta de que la disminucion de la proporcion de plata aumentaba el numero de monedas en circulacion y hacia que los precios se incrementaran. En este tratado, De Mariana advierte que eso es una forma oculta de impuesto y, por lo tanto, considera que es necesario que cuente con la aprobacion del pueblo, aunque ni siquiera asi se podria estimar juiciosa: este arbitrio nuevo de la moneda de vellon, que si se hace sin acuerdo del reino es ilicito y malo, si con el, lo tengo por errado y en muchas maneras perjudicial. En tiempos de Juan de Mariana la ciencia economica estaba poco desarrollada y no existian los terminos que hoy utilizamos a diario. Pero su percepcion de la inflacion, la lucha contra esta por medio de unos presupuestos equilibrados que limitaran el gasto de la casa real y de una administracion mas eficiente, hacen de el un lucido precursor de las grandes ideas del liberalismo economico contemporaneo.

In James Buchanans *Third State of the Union Address*, delivered in 1859, the author encapsulates a pivotal moment in American history, marking the prelude to the Civil War. With a commanding literary style that combines eloquence and directness, Buchanan articulates the state of the nation while addressing contentious issues such as sectionalism, states rights, and the contentious debate over slavery. Through masterful rhetoric, he seeks to unify a fractured country, offering insights into the complexities of governance at a time when the American experiment teetered on the brink of disunion. This address serves not only as a political document but also as a reflection of the prevailing societal tensions of the era. James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States, faced immense pressures during his presidency, particularly regarding the escalating conflict between Northern and Southern states. His experiences and the political landscape of the late 1850s shaped his perspective on national unity and governance, compelling him to address the disparities threatening the Union. Buchanans tenure remains controversial, and this address captures his attempts to navigate these tumultuous waters with a sense of urgency. *Third State of the Union Address* is essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of American history, as it provides invaluable insight into the political climate leading up to one of Americas darkest chapters. Buchanans reflections offer a nuanced understanding of leadership under pressure and the complexities inherent in political discourse, making this work a crucial piece for those seeking to comprehend the foundations of contemporary American governance.

Henry George died fighting one of the most corrupt political organizations of the civilized world a sufficient epitaph for any worthy man. But he has larger claims to respect and consideration. He made a creditable attempt to solve the root-problem of material life poverty, and his just-published posthumous book, " The Science of Political Economy," excites that pathetic interest which attaches to the memory of one who tried to aid his fellowman. He was eloquent, but he was free from the hysteria of demagogy. His sympathies, born of bitter vicissitude, were acute, but they were tempered with reason. He believed in the equality of opportunity ; but he believed also (as an American and an individualist) in the natural inequality of capacity. When he saw the industrial evils of the Old World reappear in one of the richest and fairest parts of the New commercial depression, involuntary idleness, wasting capital, pecuniary distress, want, suffering, anxiety, he was startled, and he set about to discover the cause. We value him for what he tried to do. "Progress and Poverty " was an immensely interesting and attractive book on a seemingly sapless science. It struck fire from flint, and lifted the author from obscurity to world-wide celebrity. Emerson says that every man is eloquent in that which he understands. It would be, perhaps, truer to say that every man is eloquent in that in which he fervently believes, and George believed that he had given a message. To quote his own words: " On the night on which I finished the final chapter of Progress and Poverty, I felt that the talent entrusted to me had been accounted for was more fully satisfied, more deeply grateful, than if all the Kingdoms of the earth had been laid at my feet." No one doubts his sincerity, his intellectual integrity, the cleanliness of his soul. His expectations were infinite, his faith simple. The poverty of the world lay not in Nature but in a vicious economic system ; and he thought that he had found a "sovereign remedy" which would "raise wages, increase the earnings of capital, extirpate pauperism, abolish poverty, give remunerative employment to whoever wishes it, afford free scope to human powers, lessen crime, elevate morals and taste and intelligence, purify government, and carry civilization to yet nobler heights."

HOW TO MAKE DEBT WORK FOR USWhen we talk about debt and its impact on our economy, we almost always mean government debt. However, this is only a small part of the picture: individuals, private firms and households owe trillions, and these private debts are vital to understanding the economy.In The Paradox of Debt, Richard Vague shows that the real factor that drives both financial crises and spiralling inequality but also, paradoxically, economic growth is ever-rising private debt. The paradox is that while debt is essential and our economy relies on it, it also brings instability unless it is periodically deleveraged and that is very hard to do. It can, however, be carefully managed, and Vague demonstrates how to do so in areas ranging from trade and housing to financial policy and student debt.Richard Vague is a successful banker, brilliant author and contrarian economist with an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of money and banking, and the parts of economic theory that are worth knowing. No-one else comes close to his blend of professional experience, oratorical flair and critical insights STEVE KEEN, author of Debunking Economics

The Law, written by Frédéric Bastiat in 1850, is a foundational text in classical liberal and libertarian thought. In this concise yet powerful treatise, Bastiat argues that the proper purpose of law is to protect individual rightsspecifically life, liberty, and property. He warns against the perversion of law into a tool for "legal plunder," where the state violates these rights by redistributing wealth and enforcing social agendas under the guise of justice.With clarity and forceful logic, Bastiat defends limited government, voluntary exchange, and the moral foundation of a free society. He critiques socialism and interventionist policies, asserting that when the law goes beyond its legitimate function, it fosters injustice rather than curbing it.Since its publication, The Law has influenced generations of thinkers and remains a key work in discussions about personal freedom, economic liberty, and the role of the state. Bastiats unwavering commitment to individual rights and his accessible writing style have helped the text endure as a powerful argument for freedom rooted in natural law.Its lasting relevance lies in its timeless message: that the law must never become a weapon of oppression, but a safeguard of liberty. In a world still grappling with the balance between authority and freedom, The Law remains as urgent and compelling as ever.

33 Perspectives on the future of cash from a political, economic and philosophical viewpoint Over the past 20 years, euro cash has become a tangible symbol of economic integration and cohesion in Europe. It stands for stability and trust, especially in times of crisis. However, a look ahead at what the future holds for Europes single currency suggests there are some specific challenges looming. For example, the new forms of payment and so-called cryptocurrencies that the digital turn has ushered in have cast fundamental doubt on the status of cash and government-issued currencies. The authors of this book provide a nuanced overview of the topic by looking at multiple aspects of money and currency from different angles. This affords a new sense of perspective in the often vehement debate over the future of our money. With essays by Otmar Issing, Clemens Fuest, Hans-Jurgen Papier, Peter Sloterdijk, Barry Eichengreen, Viviana Zelizer and Gaspard Koenig.

In "The Conflict between Private Monopoly and Good Citizenship," John Graham Brooks delves into the intricate relationship between capitalism and civic responsibility in early 20th-century America. Through a meticulously analytical lens, Brooks critiques the burgeoning dominance of private monopolies and their corrosive effects on democratic ideals and social equity. Drawing upon contemporary economic theories, social movements, and case studies, the book is characterized by eloquent prose that marries rigorous research with compelling arguments, marking it as a seminal contribution to American political thought during a period of considerable economic upheaval. John Graham Brooks, a prominent social reformer and writer of his time, was deeply influenced by the Progressive Eras ideals surrounding social justice and economic reform. His extensive involvement in advocacy for social change, combined with his academic pursuits in sociology, shaped his perspective on the dangers of unchecked corporate power. Brooks commitment to fostering good citizenship amid growing economic disparity is evident throughout the work, reflecting his broader mission to promote a fairer society. This book is an essential read for scholars, activists, and anyone interested in the intersections of business, ethics, and civic duty. It not only provides historical insights into the consequences of monopolistic practices but also challenges readers to consider their own roles in nurturing a healthy democracy in the face of present-day economic challenges.

El capitalismo ha muerto y el sistema que lo reemplaza no es mejor Las dinámicas tradicionales del capitalismo ya no gobiernan la economía. Lo que ha matado a este sistema es el propio capital y los cambios tecnologicos acelerados de las ultimas dos decadas, que, como un virus, han acabado con su huesped.Esta es la principal conclusion a la que ha llegado el prestigioso economista Yanis Varoufakis tras años de estudio dedicados a desentrañar el origen y la transformacion del sistema economico mundial. Los dos pilares en los que se asentaba el capitalismo han sido reemplazados: los mercados, por plataformas digitales que son autenticos feudos de lasbig tech; el beneficio, por la pura extraccion de rentas.A partir de esta observacion, confirmada por la crisis de 2008 y la provocada por la pandemia, Varoufakis ha desarrollado su teoria del tecnofeudalismo, segun la cual los nuevos señores feudales son los propietarios de lo que llama capital de la nube, y los demas hemos vuelto a ser siervos, como en el medievo. Es este nuevo sistema de explotacion lo que esta detras del aumento de la desigualdad.Sirviendose de ejemplos que van desde la mitologia griega y Mad Men hasta las criptomonedas y los videojuegos, este libro ofrece un arsenal analitico de valor inestimable para poder esclarecer la confusa realidad socioeconomica actual. Comprender el mundo que nos rodea es el primer paso para poder tomar el control, quiza por primera vez, de nuestro destino colectivo.

Una defensa de la libertad que demuestra que el crecimiento demográfico es positivo para alimentar el ciclo de la abundanciaUna tesis controvertida y contraintuitiva: el crecimiento demográfico genera mas recursos, no menosA varias generaciones se les ha enseñado que el rapido crecimiento de la poblacion se corresponde con un consumo alarmante de los recursos naturales del planeta que los hace escasear. Superabundancia desmonta esta creencia tradicional y enseña que se trata de todo lo contrario.Despues de analizar los precios de cientos de productos basicos, bienes y servicios a lo largo de dos siglos, los profesores Gale Pooley y Marian Tupy descubrieron que los recursos se volvian mas abundantes a medida que crecia la poblacion. Los autores tambien encontraron que la abundancia de recursos aumento mas rapido que la poblacion, una relacion que ellos llaman superabundancia.El libro expone que cada ser humano adicional creo, en promedio, mas valor del que consumio. Esto es posible porque mas personas producen mas ideas, lo que lleva a mas innovaciones. Al final del proceso de descubrimiento y seleccion en el mercado, sobreviven aquellas invenciones que permiten superar la escasez, estimular el crecimiento economico y elevar el nivel de vida.Para poder innovar y alimentar el ciclo de la superabundancia se debe permitir que las personas piensen, hablen, publiquen, se asocien y esten en desacuerdo. Se les debe permitir ahorrar, invertir, comerciar y obtener beneficios. Por eso, este ensayo, desconcertante y optimista, pero no ingenuo, es ante todo una defensa de la libertad.

Warners literary style is characterized by his eloquent yet accessible prose, which invites readers to reflect on the discontent arising from economic disparities, social injustice, and the evolving role of government.

La pandemia del coronavirus ha afectado a nuestras vidas de forma evidente y dramática. Se ha llevado cientos de miles de vidas en todo el mundo y ha hundido la economía global sin que aún entendamos bien ni como ha ocurrido ni, sobre todo, hacia donde nos lleva.En este libro, el prestigioso jurista y filantropo Antonio Garrigues Walker analiza el futuro tras la pandemia con realismo y clarividencia, pero tambien con un optimismo lejano a la mayoria de conclusiones catastrofistas que nos rodean. No se trata de endulzar el drama ni de negar las consecuencias economicas, pero si de mirar la realidad de forma mas contextualizada tanto hacia el pasado como aqui se hace al recordar otras pandemias, siempre definitorias de la historia, como hacia el futuro con todas las dudas que nos plantean la revolucion cientifico-tecnica, el desorden geopolitico entre Estados Unidos y China, el calentamiento global o el momento decisivo de la Union Europea. Pero, esencialmente, sin olvidar el presente y lo mas basico de nuestra existencia: la vida y los afectos del aqui y el ahora.Sobrevivir para contarla es, por eso, un lucido ensayo de clarificacion por parte de un observador privilegiado. Una vista panoramica a una enfermedad global, a sus consecuencias y a los esfuerzos por combatirla de la que cabe extraer, al menos, la constatacion de un progreso admirable, pese a todo.

La Convención Constitucional debe discutir, entre otras cosas, el derecho a la propiedad privada, el rol del Estado en la economía o cómo enfrentar el agotamiento del modelo de desarrollo. ¿Cómo se equilibra el derecho de propiedad con el interes publico y la funcion social? ¿Y el rol estrategico del Estado con la autonomia individual? Estas son algunas de las tensiones que el economista Oscar Landerretche identifica en siete nudos constitucionales subsidiaredad, propiedad, solidaridad, descentralizacion, autonomia tecnica, iniciativa presupuestaria y gestion publica, que deben resolverse de cara a la redaccion de una nueva Constitucion.
