In 2012, journalist Hugo Meunier went undercover as a Walmart employee for three months in St. Leonard, Quebec, just north of Montreal. In great detail, Meunier charts the daily life of an impoverished Walmart worker, referring to his shifts at the box store giant as «somewhere between the army and Walt Disney.» Each shift began with a daily chant before bowing to customer demands and the constant pressure to sell. Meanwhile Meunier and his fellow workers could not afford to shop anywhere else...

Contains Active Table of Contents (HTML) and in the end of book include a bonus link to the free audiobook. The Prince is the most controversial book about winning power – and holding on to it – ever written. Machiavelli's tough-minded, pragmatic argument that sometimes it is necessary to abandon ethics to succeed made his name notorious. Yet his book has been read by strategists, politicians and business people ever since as the ultimate guide to realpolitik. How can a leader be strong...

The parables are told by a fictional Babylonian character called Arkad, a poor scribe who became the «richest man in Babylon». Included in Arkad's advice are the «Seven Cures» (or how to generate money and wealth), and the «Five Laws of Gold» (or how to protect and invest wealth).

The content is from a...

"Un penetrante libro, en el cual Héctor Cuevas afronta el gran reto de captar los procesos identitarios y la cultura política de los indios del valle del río Cauca en la segunda mitad de la Colonia. Lo logra mediante una profunda investigación de archivo en la cual enfoca una región —actualmente suroccidente de Colombia— donde las lenguas e identificadores de las etnias se perdieron muy temprano en la mencionada época, al tiempo que prevalecía la categoría de «indios». A partir de una...

Professor Fetter's 'Economic Principles' is the second half of a two-volume treatise on economics. The first half 'Economic Principles' deals with the basics. The author of this volume is one of the great American economists. His contributions to economic literature have been notable, and while it would, of course, be too much to say that they have won universal acceptance, it can safely be affirmed that they have quite generally been accorded respectful and sympathetic...

Las crisis rompen la normalidad, abren los tarros de las esencias y también la caja de los truenos. Traen de regreso un aroma de muerte y de peligro, y activan nuestro cerebro más antiguo. Son momentos en los que volvemos a pedir ayuda y en los que organizar la ayuda mutua vuelve a ser una posibilidad. Son momentos de expresar obediencia a quien piensas que te puede salvar, y de trenzar con tus iguales solidaridades frente a la adversidad. Las crisis son el momento de la comunidad, del grupo,...

This book by the author of 'Progress and Poverty' will doubtless be read with much interest on this side of the Atlantic. The name of Mr. Henry George is now a familiar one to both sections of the Anglo-Saxon race, and they really have no reason to be ashamed of so robust and genial a son, sadly mis guided on many points though he is. Enthusiasts there will always be with an easy method of curing social discontent – men who do not take sufficient account of the difficulties and real...

Henry George on free trade! The dismal science is being reclaimed, its swamp lands drained, its jungles cleared, sunshine and free air let in; and the cheap publishers are establishing a prosperous settlement on the bogs where the owl but lately was wont to hoot its wisdom to unlistening ears. The singular success of Mr. George is that he has made Political Economy interesting. A vast deal of heresy might well be pardoned to the author who has set the average man thinking over the urgent...

El objetivo de esta obra es analizar qué es la guerra asimétrica y qué formas adopta esta, y cómo pueden afectar a la seguridad de la sociedad internacional actual. Esta peculiaridad hace que el libro cuente con un potencial proyección tanto internacional como nacional, porque la guerra convencional ya ha dado paso a la guerra asimétrica.
