Description: "A spectre is haunting Europe," Karl Marx and Frederic Engels wrote in 1848, "the spectre of Communism." This new edition of The Communist Manifesto, commemorating the 150th anniversary of its publication, includes an introduction by renowned historian Eric Hobsbawm which reminds us of the document's continued relevance. Marx and Engels's critique of capitalism and its deleterious effect on all aspects of life, from the increasing rift between the classes to the destruction of the nuclear family, has proven remarkably prescient. Their spectre, manifested in the Manifesto's vivid prose, continues to haunt the capitalist world, lingering as a ghostly apparition even after the collapse of those governments which claimed to be enacting its principles.

Description:

In unyielding defense of personal liberty

In this selected collection of his syndicated newspaper columns, Walter E. Williams once again takes on the left wing's most sacred cows with provocative insights and brutal honesty. He offers his sometimes controversial views on education, health, the environment, government, law and society, race, and a range of other topics, always with an uncompromising reverence for personal liberty and the principles laid out in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.


Do we want socialized medicine? Do peace treaties produce peace? What's wrong with education? What's discrimination? Do we really care about children? Is this the America we want? Williams answers these and other provocative questions with his usual unflinching candor. Although many of these thoughtful, hard-hitting essays focus on the growth of government and our loss of liberty, many others demonstrate how the tools of free market economics can be used to improve our lives in ways ordinary people can understand - not just in the realm of trade and the cost of goods and services but in such diverse areas as racial discrimination, national defense, and even marriage.

Description: One of the most notorious works of modern times, as well as one of the most influential, "Capital" is an incisive critique of private property and the social relations it generates. Living in exile in England, where this work was largely written, Marx drew on a wide-ranging knowledge of its society to support his analysis and generate fresh insights. Arguing that capitalism would create an ever-increasing division in wealth and welfare, he predicted its abolition and replacement by a system with common ownership of the means of production. "Capital" rapidly acquired readership among the leaders of social democratic parties, particularly in Russia and Germany, and ultimately throughout the world, to become a work described by Marx's friend and collaborator Friedrich Engels as 'the Bible of the Working Class'.

Description:

Zoé Valdés, La reconocida escritora cubana, traza una apasionada declaración contra el régimen comunista cubano . . . Un retrato de Fidel Castro contado desde su punto de vista desenfrenado y tenaz

"A veces pienso que todo esto ha sido una pesadilla, o una película mala, o una novela mediocre, o una pésima telenovela, un chiste pesado". Así comienza La ficción Fidel, el libro en el que la escritora exiliada expresa su rechazo al régimen de Fidel Castro, quien nos dice ha logrado hipnotizar tanto a amigos como a enemigos del régimen, manipulando y distorsionando la realidad. "Fidel Castro ha sido el más grande especialista de marketing que ha dado la historia contemporánea. Creó un producto—la revolución—y todo el mundo se lo compró".

Zoé Valdés es reconocida por su ficción, la cual la ha consagrado internacionalmente. Sin embargo, en este nuevo libro la autora deja de lado todo componente ficticio para expresar fervientemente su repudio al régimen de Fidel Castro, combinando fluidamente diferentes géneros (ensayo, historia, memoria) dentro de una obra totalmente original.

Con entrevistas secretas, documentos ocultos y su propia experiencia profesional, Valdés devela un gobierno turbio, lleno de contradicciones, guiado por uno de los hombres más manipuladores y carismáticos del mundo.
