Den västerländska civilisationen har gett oss den moderna vetenskapens underverk, den fria marknadsekonomins välstånd, rättssäkerhet, en unik känsla för frihet och mänskliga rättigheter, osjälvisk människokärlek som en dygd, lysande konst och musik, en förnuftsgrundad filosofi, och oräkneliga andra gåvor som vi tar för givna i den rikaste och mäktigaste civilisationen någonsin. Men vilken är den yttersta källan till dessa gåvor? I denna bok, Katolska kyrkan och den västerländska civilisationen, ger oss Thomas E. Woods det länge nonchalerade svaret: Katolska kyrkan. I boken står bland annat att läsa: ? Varför den moderna vetenskapen föddes inom Kyrkan. ? Vad som egentligen var upprinnelsen till Galileo-affären. ? Hur Kyrkan humaniserade Väst genom att insistera på människans okränkbara värde. ? Hur universiteten uppkom som ett kyrkligt initiativ. ? Hur västerländsk lag växte fram ur den kyrkliga lagen. ? Hur idén om en fri marknadsekonomi utvecklades av katolska präster, 500 år före Adam Smith. THOMAS E. WOODS är amerikansk historieprofessor, politisk skribent och författare. Bland hans många övriga böcker kan nämnas The Church Confronts Modernity, The Church and the Market, The Great Façade, och Sacred Then and Sacred Now.

With a foreword from Ron Paul, Meltdown is the free-market answer to the Fed-created economic crisis. As the new Obama administration inevitably calls for more regulations, Woods argues that the only way to rebuild our economy is by returning to the fundamentals of capitalism and letting the free market work.

Thought the last financial crisis was scary? Just wait…it’s going to get worseAmerica is on the brink of financial collapse. Decades of political overpromising and underfunding have created a wave of debt that could swamp our already feeble economy. And the politicians’ favorite tricks—raising taxes, borrowing from foreign governments, and printing more money—will only make it worse. Only one thing might save us: Roll back the government.In Rollback: Repealing Big Government Before the Coming Fiscal Collapse, Thomas E. Woods, Jr. explains that we may still have a chance to avert total economic disaster—but only by completely changing our understanding of government. With bracing candor, he dissects just how the political class has nearly destroyed America’s economy. In Rollback, you’ll learn:Why practically everything you’ve been taught about government and the economy is wrong—the product of liberal pro–government propagandaHow the Federal Reserve helps create crises and slows recoveryWhy big business is no ally in rolling back government and actually wants and needs big government intervention in the marketplaceHow current policies, if unchecked, will lead to the collapse of the dollar How government policies have driven the skyrocketing costs of health careWhy retirement will be a pipe dream for the next generationHow the coming collapse can be turned to your advantage—and the advantage of all who believe in liberty and limited governmentThanks to decades of politicians playing kick the can down the road, we and our children are facing economic Armageddon. But this crisis could help us see government for what it really is—an institution that has seized our wealth and taught our children to honor it as the source of all progress. The good news is it’s not too late to roll back government—and the opportunity to do so is now.

Ask someone today where Western Civilization originated, and he or she might say Greece or Rome. But what is the ultimate source of Western Civilization? Bestselling author and professor Thomas E. Woods, Jr. provides the long neglected answer: the Catholic Church. In the new paperback edition of his critically-acclaimed book, How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, Woods goes far beyond the familiar tale of monks copying manuscripts and preserving the wisdom of classical antiquity. Gifts such as modern science, free-market economics, art, music, and the idea of human rights come from the Catholic Church, explains Woods. In How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization, you’ll learn:Why modern science was born in the Catholic ChurchHow Catholic priests developed the idea of free-market economics five hundred years before Adam SmithHow the Catholic Church invented the universityWhy what you know about the Galileo affair is wrongHow Western law grew out of Church canon lawHow the Church humanized the West by insisting on the sacredness of all human lifeNo institution has done more to shape Western civilization than the two-thousand-year-old Catholic Church—and in ways that many of us have forgotten or never known. How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization is essential reading for recovering this lost truth.

Citizens across the country are fed up with the politicians in Washington telling us how to live our lives—and then sticking us with the bill. But what can we do? Actually, we can just say “no.” As New York Times bestselling author Thomas E. Woods, Jr., explains, “nullification” allows states to reject unconstitutional federal laws. For many tea partiers nationwide, nullification is rapidly becoming the only way to stop an over-reaching government drunk on power. From privacy to national healthcare, Woods shows how this growing and popular movement is sweeping across America and empowering states to take action against Obama’s socialist policies and big-government agenda.

Leviathan is back The threat of statism has reemerged in force. The federal government has radically expanded its power—through bailouts, “stimulus” packages, a trillion-dollar health-care plan, “jobs bills,” massive expansions of the money supply, and much more. But such interventionism did not suddenly materialize with the recent economic collapse. The dangerous trends of government growth, debt increases, encroachments on individual liberty, and attacks on the free market began years earlier and continued no matter which political party was in power. This shift toward statism “will not end happily,” declares bestselling author Thomas E. Woods. In Back on the Road to Serfdom, Woods brings together ten top scholars to examine why the size and scope of government has exploded, and to reveal the devastating consequences of succumbing to the statist temptation. Spanning history, economics, politics, religion, and the arts, Back on the Road to Serfdom shows: · How government interventionism endangers America’s prosperity and the vital culture of entrepreneurship · The roots of statism: from the seminal conflict between Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton to the vast expansion of federal power in the twentieth century · Why the standard explanation for the recent economic crisis is so terribly wrong—and why the government’s frenzied responses to the downturn only exacerbate the problems · Why the European welfare state is not a model to aspire to but a disaster to be avoided · How an intrusive state not only harms the economy but also imperils individual liberty and undermines the role of civil society · The fatal flaws in the now-common arguments against free markets and free trade · How big business is helping government pave the road to serfdom · Why the Judeo-Christian tradition does not demand support for the welfare state, but in fact values the free market · How the arrogance of government power extends even to the cultural realm—and how central planning is just as inefficient and destructive there It’s been more than sixty-five years since F. A. Hayek published his seminal work The Road to Serfdom. Now this impeccably timed book provides another desperately needed warning about—and corrective to—the dangers of statism.
