Sinopse

In "Freedom and Human Achievement," Jeff Love delivers a passionate, comprehensive treatise on the philosophical underpinnings of liberty and its essential role in human flourishing. Taking readers on a sweeping historical journey from Ancient Greece through the American founding to our present day, Love demonstrates how periods of human advancement have consistently coincided with eras of greater freedom.
 
Love argues that freedom is the primary driver of human achievement, examining how political systems that emphasize individual sovereignty produce prosperity, while collectivist ideologies inevitably lead to stagnation and decline. With meticulous attention to constitutional principles, he dissects modern threats to freedom including government expansion, judicial overreach, excessive taxation, and mounting national debt.
 
Drawing on thinkers from Aristotle and Locke to Jefferson and Madison, "Freedom and Human Achievement" makes a compelling case for limited government and greater personal responsibility. Love doesn't merely diagnose societal problems but offers concrete solutions for restoring America's founding principles, including constitutional amendments, legislative reforms, and civic engagement.
 
At once a scholarly examination of freedom's philosophical basis and an impassioned call to action, this book will challenge readers to reconsider their understanding of liberty's role in human progress and its fragility in the modern world.
 
If you enjoyed "The Road to Serfdom" by F.A. Hayek, "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell, and "Liberty Defined" by Ron Paul, you'll love "Freedom and Human Achievement."

    A relatable personal finance guide that gives a fresh take on how to control your impulse spending so you can stick to a budget and pay off debt, without the guilt and shame of traditional financial advice—from the hosts of the beloved Frugal Friends podcast. 
    There’s a lot of noise out there about how to spend (and not spend) your hard-earned money. But what if you made financial decisions based on what you value—instead of what others are telling you to value? 
    This is the empowering approach Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast, want you to take to improve your spending habits. They believe you can value anything (yes, anything!), whether that’s a daily latte, fancy dinners out, or vacations. But, despite what social media is saying, you don’t value everything. 
    The Frugal Friends’ wisdom comes from personal experience: Jen paid off $78,000 of debt in two years without a six-figure income, while Jill has a background in social work and downsized to an RV to pay off student loans. Together, their advice is both relatable and actionable. 
    In their debut book, they share a plan for sifting through what’s not important to find the things you truly love spending money on. You’ll learn how toAnalyze your current spending and identify what you valuePrioritize your values when you can’t afford everythingIdentify the root causes of your impulse spendingMake your habit changes stick long-term 
    From credit card and student loan debt to the rising costs of childcare and homes; it has never been more important to get control of your spending. Jen and Jill show you how to do it in a way that’s healthy, not shameful, while exploring topics like overconsumption, self-worth, and the insidious history behind our consumption-obsessed culture. 
    If you want to reach your goals and feel good about your finances, Buy What You Love Without Going Broke offers a holistic approach to reshape the way you think about spending money.

    Atlantis is known across the world as a tale from fable. But is this really the truth? 
     
    Wherever we go and into whatever cultural history we delve, we discover a story similar to the one we know about Atlantis. Why would this be? 
     
    Finding the key to this strange conundrum is something thousands of men and women across the globe have struggled to do. But there are good reasons for their lack of concrete discovery. They have all been looking in the wrong place, at the wrong people and for the wrong thing. For too long historians have focused on a few words left to us by Plato and misunderstood what he was really telling us. The fact is, even Plato didn't understand what had been told to him. 
     
    But what about joining the dots? Across the world there are remnants and legends of a mystical past, left undiscovered by our misunderstanding. The real Atlantis can and will only be discovered by seeing the bigger picture. Because Atlantis is all around you right now.

    “A reminder of the perseverance, the gall, the intelligence it took to obtain what now seems an inalienable right, an obvious pillar of any democracy.” —Los Angeles TimesAlice Paul began her life as a studious girl from a strict Quaker family in New Jersey. In 1907, a scholarship took her to England, where she developed a passionate devotion to the suffrage movement. Upon her return to the United States, Alice became the leader of the militant wing of the American suffrage movement. Calling themselves “Silent Sentinels,” she and her followers were the first protestors to picket the White House. Arrested and jailed, they went on hunger strikes and were force-fed and brutalized. Years before Gandhi's campaign of nonviolent resistance, and decades before civil rights demonstrations, Alice Paul practiced peaceful civil disobedience in the pursuit of equal rights for women.With her daring and unconventional tactics, Alice Paul eventually succeeded in forcing President Woodrow Wilson and a reluctant U.S. Congress to pass the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote. Here at last is the inspiring story of the young woman whose dedication to women's rights made that long-held dream a reality.“Alice Paul was a visionary and a pioneer . . . She went where most men and women would not have gone.” —Hillary Clinton“I value the book for introducing [Paul] to the next generation of feminists with a taste for revolution.” —Vivian Gornick, Ms. Magazine“Mary Walton vividly brings [Paul] to life again in this brilliant, important and highly readable book. America's understanding of its history will be all the richer for it.” —Gene Roberts, Pulitzer Prize–winning author

    At the beginning of the 21st century, the EU is facing deep political, social, and economic changes. The benefit of supranational organization is no longer obvious to European citizens and questions of legitimacy have accompanied the EU's development over the last decades. Regions - albeit often deemed »obsolete« - present themselves as stable and reliable partners in this turbulent environment: in being important objects of identification to their citizens, but also relevant political and legal entities in the EU's multilevel governance system. This edited volume asks about the role of regions and regional identity in a European Union that is perhaps struggling more than ever about its future.
