what we need to teach in schools

Revisado: 08-18-22

I have read Ayn Rand, Freedman ,Friedrich Hayek, but Thomas sowell is a true master in making very complex economics in simple terms in this book, and more, getting to the point that economics is one thing, politics (or political system) is another completely different (but related) stuff. it does not matter if you are Communist or Totalitarian or whatever... what is important is what works, and what does not work, how efficient the economic relationship are. that's what defines a rich and prosperous economy system. Ironically those are the fundaments, and most of us (me included up until this book) does have a feeling about how important they are, yet failed to summarize that concept in a clean view... minimum wage, price controls , inflation... it's all there.
strongly advise to add this book to your library, and also gift it to some friends if you have the chance.

Uma viagem pela história política do Brasil, com todo o estatismo e intervencionismo como esperado. o livro faz jus a capa. aliás... até a nota do revisor é maravilhosa, eu ri, me resoltei, briguei com o livro no meio da rua andando... e me apaixonei por cada palavra. Ouça e tenha uma experiência única de... porque os brasileiros odeiam os políticos, mas amam o estado.

um livro essencial. liberdade e responsabilidade

Revisado: 06-22-22

esse livro é um retrato de uma época. Quando as nações e as pessoas estavam em sua maioria acreditando que ditaduras e controles centrais eram o melhor caminho para solucionar todos os problemas e ter uma sociedade melhor (seja via comunismo, fascismo, imperialismo, etc). Hayek mostra usando argumentação e dados, que no final é tudo exatamente a mesma coisa, e em lugar de buscar um caminho para a liberdade, se está galgando um caminho para a servidão, dos mais fortes e mais cruéis líderes. Cabe a cada um entender as responsabilidades de defender a liberdade em si, e assumir as responsabilidades associadas a esse tipo de sistema, mas que em geral, gera resultados superiores.

Livro ótimo... Narração LENTA...

Revisado: 06-17-22

Nossa, narrador fala tão lento, que em 2x a velocidade da voz fica razoavelmente normal. O livro é ótimo, aliás é meu livro de cabeceira quando tento me lembrar de porque afinal decidi ser investidor. Mas a narração... Não é ruim. mas lenta que dói.

Unexpected diamond

Revisado: 06-11-22

I really was not expecting this master piece. It's the equivalent of "Sapiens", but instead of anthropology, it's about economy. From Adam Smith to today's scenario, the author navegantes all the way with the economical theories, counter theories, the real person behind it, their motivation, their followers (and "hater") . In the end you get a taste of feeling a little smarter, understand why so many people follow those or that economics believe, and at times in history with one was "the one, and only" just to be challenged at a corner of history... sometimes winning, some time taking a having punch. Hope the listen to more books like these.

in a side note, listen to the formulas was the worse part... sometimes I find myself desperately looking for a piece of paper to write them down, just to understand visually what he was talking about.

very good book. in general as good as Sapiens.

Revisado: 05-22-22

very good, as good as Sapiens and Homo Deus, but unfortunately not with the same humor (he try sometimes, but he not fun. And sometimes a little "waken" culture). In regarding to information, it's a good book about how entanglement is the main drive of the world. very good analysis.

existential part of ocidental education

Revisado: 05-19-22

Ever wonder why socialism makes no sense in a capital society? that's your answer: It does not. What brings freedom and prosperity always was the libertarian society... they told you that capitalism is the villain, and yet, we live in a capitalism society, and all elements of freedom of choice, and thinking, derives from it.

Not many added from the first 2 books

Revisado: 04-18-22

compared with Sapiens and Homo Deus, it does no add much, even some sentences are copy and paste. but it's a good book, narrator is super as always... its a journey that feel like a summary or author notes , from the first 2 books. you will have a good time, just don't expect to add much or be a life changing experience as they did.

as good as I expected

Revisado: 04-14-22

this is one of the best audiobooks I had the pleasure to listen. fantastic tale, and as epic as expected. the áudio is executed with excellence, mimic the voices, but just 1 narrator (with is odd for woman's voice, but very well done to mimic the soft tonality). it's simple a must listen audiobook that you had to add to your collection.
