Este libro, que tuvo su origen en el prestigioso documental dirigido por Carola Fuentes, relata cómo un grupo de jóvenes, a fines de los años cincuenta, partió a Chicago para estudiar economía con un profesor que luego pasaría a la historia: Milton Friedman.

The appearance of the famous (and massive) volumes of Rothbard's Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought in a new edition is cause for great celebration. Every paragraph bursts with intellectual energy and the author's fiery passion to tell the listener the remarkable story of economics. Many reviewers have remarked that Rothbard's accomplishment seems superhuman. He seems to have read everything. His originality is overwhelming. His passion for liberty and integrity in science is evident.

In the space of a few months, across Asia, a miracle became a nightmare. This was the Asian financial crisis of 1995-98. In this economic crisis, hundreds of people died in rioting, political strongmen were removed, and hundreds of billions of dollars were lost by investors. This crisis saw the US dollar value of some Asian stock markets decline by 90 percent. Why did almost no one see it coming? The Asian Financial Crisis 1995–98 charts Russell Napier’s personal journey during that crisis as he wrote daily for institutional investors about an increasingly uncertain future.

El 17 de septiembre de 2008, dos días después de que se declarase la quiebra de Lehman Brothers, J.

Ese mismo día las autoridades lo acusaron del desfalco de 15 mil millones de dólares.

Der Wechsel, das heute längst vergessene Zahlungsmittel, wird hier in heiterer und verständlicher Form, fast schon schwärmerisch beschrieben. Er hat leider einen wirklich schlechten Ruf, war jedoch genau genommen das schönste und komfortabelste Zahlungsmittel, das man sich nur vorstellen kann. Wenn man nur ein paar wenige Dinge beachtete, dann konnte man praktisch "Monopoly" spielen und die halbe Welt kaufen, ohne auch nur 1 Cent zu besitzen!

Is it possible that the consensus around what caused the 2008 Great Recession is almost entirely wrong? It's happened before. Just as Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz led the economics community in the 1960s to reevaluate its view of what caused the Great Depression, the same may be happening now to our understanding of the first economic crisis of this century.

A pesar de su apariencia de verdad objetiva, científica e indiscutible, la economía está plagada de falsedades. Sus medias verdades o patentes mentiras, sin embargo, no se dicen por error ni por gusto, sino para causar un determinado efecto en quien las escucha. En nuestro tiempo, ese efecto...

 When Jefferson acquired the Louisiana Territory, he envisioned an "empire for liberty" populated by self-sufficient white farmers. Cleared of Native Americans and the remnants of European empires by Andrew Jackson, the Mississippi Valley was transformed instead into a booming capitalist economy commanded by wealthy planters, powered by steam engines, and dependent on the coerced labor of slaves.  

La più grave crisi che abbia mai colpito il mondo occidentale è servita. Banche che falliscono, borse che crollano, risparmi che vanno in fumo. Come è stato possibile?

In 1966, two columnists joined Newsweek magazine. Their assignment: Debate the world of business and economics. Paul Samuelson was a towering figure in Keynesian economics.

Over the past four years, world-renowned economist Thomas Piketty documented his close observations on current events through a regular column in the French newspaper Le Monde. His pen captured the rise and fall of Trump, the drama of Brexit, Macron’s ascendance to the French presidency, the unfolding of a global pandemic, and much else besides, always through the lens of Piketty’s fight for a more equitable world. This collection brings together those articles.

This American medical ecological and economic history, a saga of Man, Money, and Medicine or “textbook” of sorts, blossomed primarily for the benefit of Dr. DiLibero's many dear students. He has taught and lectured on the subject of migratory medical ecolo-nomics for many years, and has too often found himself digressing “off on a tangent”, describing particularly interesting moments of historical trivia that have influenced his life.

The Panic of 1819 tells the story of the first nationwide economic collapse to strike the United States. Much more than a banking crisis or real estate bubble, the Panic was the culmination of an economic wave that rolled through the United States, forming before the War of 1812, cresting with the land and cotton boom of 1818, and crashing just as the nation confronted the crisis over slavery in Missouri.
