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”.

Neste influente e original ensaio, Murray Rothbard defende que o Estado nada mais é do que uma instituição que viola tudo aquilo que consideramos honesto e moral, sempre agindo sob uma falsa aura de bondade e preocupação para com o cidadão. 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.
