Após anos de estudos para compreender o próprio comportamento, a pesquisadora e psicóloga Elaine N. Aron se tornou pioneira ao identificar a alta sensibilidade como um traço de personalidade inato - muitas vezes confundido com fraqueza, timidez ou mesmo “frescura”. Você se sente angustiado quando há muita confusão à sua volta? Precisa de um tempo sozinho para se reestruturar depois de um dia corrido? É afetado pelo humor das outras pessoas? Tem uma ligação forte com música ou arte? Então é provável que você seja uma Pessoa Altamente Sensível.

Aí você pergunta: quem foi o gênio por trás disso? O que essa gente tinha na cabeça?!

De líderes políticos obtusos e cientistas loucos a cantores pop que não cantam bulhufas. As 100 Piores Ideias da História é uma celebração das mancadas homéricas – e muitas vezes histéricas – que deram origem a guerras, afundaram países, arruinaram empresas, destruíram carreiras, causaram prejuízos de milhões e até, pasmem, ameaçaram a Terra.

Ele demonstra ainda como esse mesmo Estado devasta a liberdade, destrói a civilização e ameaça a vida, a propriedade e o bem-estar social das pessoas. Em A Anatomia do Estado, Rothbard consolida tudo o que aprendeu com as tradições misesiana, liberal e anarcocapitalista.

There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.
