Eseuri de economie politică

by Jesús Huerta de Soto, Gabriel Mursa (Translator)

„Cartea de faţă reprezintă o sinteză a celor mai importante articole publicate de autor de-a lungul timpului, pentru publicul spaniol, incluse în două cărţi intitulate, iniţial, Estudios de economia politica şi Nuevos estudios de economia politica. În ciuda faptului că se bazează pe articole sau eseuri scrise de-a lungul unei perioade relativ lungi, lucrarea are toate datele pentru a fi considerată un întreg bine şlefuit şi închegat. Ea include, printre altele, analize legate de sfera asigurărilor, pentru care a primit un prestigios premiu din mâinile regelui Juan Carlos al Spaniei, o critică necruţătoare la adresa statului asistenţial şi, nu în ultimul rând, mult discutata problemă ecologică, toate filtrate prin sita fină a unei gândiri liberale profunde, consecvente şi coerente.“ (Gabriel Mursa)
