Acerca de esta escucha
Un análisis brillante y valiente sobre el verdadero origen de las desigualdades económicas
Los resultados socioeconómicos difieren enormemente entre individuos, grupos y países. Se han ofrecido muchas razones para justificar este fenómeno. Algunos creen que los menos afortunados son víctimas de los más privilegiados; otros piensan que las desigualdades responden a factores genéticos.
Thomas Sowell, en cambio, cuestiona la extendida idea de que la explicación de estas diferencias pueda reducirse a un único factor. Porque, si ni siquiera hay una igualdad de resultados entre hermanos que han sido criados bajo el mismo techo, ¿por qué deberíamos esperarla para aquellos que parten de condiciones muy diferentes?
Discriminación y disparidades demuestra con datos que la desigualdad de resultados no implica necesariamente discriminación, porque las distintas dotaciones iniciales de los sujetos influyen en el logro del éxito, incluidos factores naturales o fruto del azar que no pueden ser atribuidos a una injusticia.
Desmontar los presupuestos falaces que inspiran las políticas públicas encaminadas a acabar con la desigualdad permitirá al lector entender por qué tantas soluciones políticas han resultado en un contraproducente fracaso.
Gracias a sus análisis, Sowell se ha convertido en uno de los pensadores más influyentes en algunos de los temas más presentes en el debate público actual, como es el de las divergencias raciales. Y por hacerlo sin miedo a descubrir verdades incómodas, sobre la base de una evidencia empírica incontestable y de un debate racional alejado de cualquier dogmatismo. Este libro es una nueva muestra de ello.

Historia
The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

Historia
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

The very strange but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a 1960s hippie utopia. Laurel Canyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times. But there was a dark side to that scene as well. Many didn't make it out alive, and many of those deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.
