"Leviatán" es una obra de Thomas Hobbes publicada en 1651. El nombre "Leviatán" hace referencia a un monstruo marino bíblico descrito en el libro de Job y los Salmos, y es utilizado metafóricamente para representar al poderoso Estado. La obra significó un antes y un después en la teoría política. Hobbes sostenía que el ser humano, en su estado natural, es egoísta y competitivo, lo que conduce a una "guerra de todos contra todos" en busca de poder y recursos.

O Marxismo Desmascarado reúne a transcrição das nove palestras ministradas, em 1952, por Ludwig von Mises na Biblioteca Pública de São Francisco. Em seu característico estilo didático e agradável, o autor refuta as ideias marxistas em seus aspectos históricos, econômicos, políticos e culturais. A crítica misesiana ressalta não apenas os problemas econômicos do marxismo, mas, também, discute outras questões correlatas a esta doutrina, como a negação do individualismo, o nacionalismo, o conflito de classes, a revolução violenta e a manipulação humana.

Urban planning is a craft learned through practice. Planners make rapid decisions that have an immediate impact on the ground - the width of streets, the minimum size of land parcels, the heights of buildings. The language they use to describe their objectives is qualitative - “sustainable,” “livable,” “resilient” - often with no link to measurable outcomes. Urban economics, on the other hand, is a quantitative science, based on theories, models, and empirical evidence largely developed in academic settings.
