The central message of the Austrian school of economics, writes Mark Skousen in this wide-ranging audiobook, is that economics is about human beings.

Why Superman Doesn't Take Over the World: What Superheroes Can Tell Us About Economics probes the motivations of our favorite heroes and considers what it would look like if their stories played out in reality.

Hebert Spencer coined the famous expression “survival of the fittest”. Spencer’s theory inspired Andrew Carnegie and William Graham Sumner's visions of unbridled and unrepentant capitalism of the United States in late 19th century. Carnegie interpreted Spencer's social theory as justifying merciless economic competition. Spencer's reputation was not recovered for many years from the interpretative caricatures of many scholars, thus marginalizing him to the hinterlands of intellectual history. Fortunately, recent scholarship has begun restoring and repairing his legacy.

Starting with a short survey of Hayek's life, Dr. Butler goes on to analyze all the main elements in his thought under six basic headings: Understanding How Society Works; The Market Process; Hayek's Critique of Socialism; Criticism of Social Justice; The Institutions of a Liberal Order; and The Constitution of a Liberal State.

Which is why he's so heartsick that in America today, with flat wages, disappearing jobs, and a shrinking middle class, his kind of rags-to-riches story doesn't seem possible now.

Alles Unsinn, sagt Detlef Gürtler und fordert Schluss mit dem Gejammer über vermeintliche Schwächen, die in Wahrheit unsere Stärken sind. Detlef Gürtler, Jahrgang 1964, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin, Marbella und Rüschlikon bei Zürich.

Transcending Capitalism explains why many influential mid-century American social theorists came to believe it was no longer meaningful to describe modern Western society as "capitalist", but instead preferred alternatives such as "postcapitalist" society, "postindustrial" society, or the "technological" society.

Kalkiism is a bold new vision for a world entering an era of exponential technology and material abundance. As capitalism, rooted in scarcity, reaches its limits, the book proposes a new paradigm — a fusion of data-driven economics and spiritual awakening. Grounded in Sanatana Dharma yet open to all, Kalkiism sees the figure of Kalki not just as a person, but as a global frequency of transformation. It calls for a pilot project in Nepal to model this new system, where dignity, cooperation, and inner knowledge guide decision-making.
