The Gunpowder Age
A first look at gunpowder's revolutionary impact on China's role in global history The Chinese invented gunpowder and began exploring its military uses as early as the 900s, four centuries before the technology passed to the West.

In The Gunpowder Age, Tonio Andrade offers a compelling new answer, opening a fresh perspective on a key question of world history: why did the countries of western Europe surge to global importance starting in the 1500s while China slipped behind?

A Nova Economia Austríaca
A economia austríaca desde Carl Menger tem sido um contraponto a diversas teorias econômicas, como a dos keynesianos, friedmanitas, os monetaristas e no geral um grande número delas que podem ser consideradas ortodoxas no meio acadêmico. E realmente, a teoria austríaca em Von Mises estava incompleta, mesmo com Von Hayek, mesmo Rothbard e muitos outros contribuintes, creio que tendo como base toda a construção que eles deixaram para nós, teríamos sim que ir além e mostrar o que tal teoria poderia melhorar. O objetivo desse livro é dar uma introdução ao que seria uma adição metamatemática a teoria austríaca, essencial a praxeologia que é tão importante nela, uma forma de formalizar o discurso não só dessa escola de pensamento mas de outros também de uma forma lógica e formal. Além de depois propor 136 proposições que seriam a base da teoria.

Globalizing the Streets
Not since the 1960s have the activities of resistance among lower- and working-class youth caused such anxiety in the international community. Yet today the dispossessed are responding to the challenges of globalization and its methods of social control. The contributors to this volume examine the struggle for identity and interdependence of these youth, their clashes with law enforcement and criminal codes, their fight for social, political, and cultural capital, and their efforts to achieve recognition and empowerment. Essays adopt the vantage point of those whose struggle for social solidarity, self-respect, and survival in criminalized or marginalized spaces. In doing so, they contextualize and humanize the seemingly senseless actions of these youths, who make visible the class contradictions, social exclusion, and rituals of psychological humiliation that permeate their everyday lives.
