Estos últimos años han estado marcados por la corrección política antiliberal. El resultado de ello ha sido reforzar la idea de que nuestros males son culpa de la libertad y que debemos ser cada vez menos libres. Y siempre hay políticos dispuestos a que lo seamos. Carlos Rodríguez Braun refuta este pensamiento único en Panfletos liberales III: «la crisis no ha sido producida por la libertad sino por el intervencionismo. No es verdad que hayamos disfrutado de una libertad excesiva: al contrario, mientras los gobernantes se ufanan en proteger nuestros derechos, tenemos cada vez más obligaciones». En unas doscientas reflexiones breves, y con el ingenio y la ironía que caracterizan al autor, se denuncia el bulo según el cual nos arrasa una ola privatizadora neoliberal que pretende desmantelar el Estado del bienestar.El liberalismo no tiene colores partidarios y este libro molestará a los políticos de izquierdas tanto como a los de derechas. Por aludir a una de las obsesiones de Rodríguez Braun, hemos comprobado que la izquierda sube los impuestos, pero la derecha... también.

In a series of revolts starting in 1820, four military officers rode forth on horseback from obscure European towns to bring political freedom and a constitution to Spain, Naples, and Russia; and national independence to the Greeks. The men who launched these exploits from Andalusia to the snowy fields of Ukraine--Colonel Rafael del Riego, General Guglielmo Pepe, General Alexandros Ypsilanti, and Colonel Sergei Muraviev-Apostol--all hoped to overturn the old order. Over the next six years, their revolutions ended in failure. The men who led them became martyrs. In The Four Horsemen, the late, eminent historian Richard Stites offers a compelling narrative history of these four revolutions. Stites sets the stories side by side, allowing him to compare events and movements and so illuminate such topics as the transfer of ideas and peoples across frontiers, the formation of an international community of revolutionaries, and the appropriation of Christian symbols and language for secular purposes. He shows how expressive behavior and artifacts of all kinds--art, popular festivities, propaganda, and religion--worked their way to various degrees into all the revolutionary movements and regimes. And he documents as well the corruption, abandonment of liberal values, and outright betrayal of the revolution that emerged in Spain and Naples; the clash of ambitions and ideas that wracked the unity of the Decembrists' cause; and civil war that erupted in the midst of the Greek struggle for independence. Richard Stites was one of the most imaginative and broad-ranging historians working in the United States. This book is his last work, a classic example of his dazzling knowledge and idiosyncratic yet accessible writing style. The culmination of an esteemed career, The Four Horsemen promises to enthrall anyone interested in nineteenth-century Europe and the history of revolutions.

Al revés de lo que tantos cuentan, no vivimos en un mundo liberal, porque la intromisión del poder político en las vidas y los bienes de sus súbditos es considerable y creciente. No existió ninguna austeridad pública, y ningún supuesto neoliberalismo arrasó con el Estado, puesto que los gobernantes no bajaron el gasto y subieron en cambio los impuestos y la deuda, es decir, justo lo contrario de lo que el liberalismo propugna. A esta usurpación, las autoridades sumaron un sinfín de regulaciones, controles y prohibiciones que limitan las libertades ciudadanas. En esta cuarta entrega de sus Panfletos liberales, Carlos Rodríguez Braun denuncia estos recortes de los derechos de la gente y refuta los argumentos antiliberales lanzados desde diversas perspectivas, como la cultura, la política, el populismo, el nacionalismo, el socialismo, la moral, la religión o la economía. El liberalismo, al contrario que el estatismo, ni es un recetario simple ni conforma un abanico de aspiraciones irrealizables. Apunta, eso sí, a la libertad, la responsabilidad y la dignidad de las mujeres y los hombres, que se han visto en los últimos tiempos aún más amenazadas con el reflorecimiento del antiliberalismo de todos los partidos.

How is capitalism represented in popular culture today? Are profits seen as a legitimate reward of entrepreneurship? Are thrift and effort still considered a cornerstone of a healthy society? Or is it that inequalities are eliciting scandal and reproach? How is the ecosystem portrayed, vis-à-vis profit seeking companies? Are they irreconcilable, or maybe not? Are there any established trends with respect to the presentation of entrepreneurship, and that complex legal artefact that is the modern limited liability company? These are questions that will be at the core of this book. But they are not examined through the usual theoretical point of references, but looking at TV series produced in 2000-2020. Each chapter of this book is a case studies, covering some of the most popular, successful and engaging TV shows of the last 20 years. And showing how deep economic ideas and biases lie, at the roots of some of our times' most successful entertainment products.

This book offers a historical analysis of one of the most striking and dramatic transformations to take place in Brazil and the United States during the twentieth century—the redefinition of the concepts of nation and democracy in racial terms. The multilateral political debates that occurred between 1930 and 1945 pushed and pulled both states towards more racially inclusive political ideals and nationalisms. Both countries utilized cultural production to transmit these racial political messages. At times working collaboratively, Brazilian and U.S. officials deployed the concept of “racial democracy” as a national security strategy, one meant to suppress the existential threats perceived to be posed by World War II and by the political agendas of communists, fascists, and blacks. Consequently, official racial democracy was limited in its ability to address racial inequities in the United States and Brazil. Shifting the Meaning of Democracy helps to explain the historical roots of a contemporary phenomenon: the coexistence of widespread antiracist ideals with enduring racial inequality.
