Thomas E. Woods Libri

In this second edition of The Great Facade, co-author Christopher A. Ferrara brings the original work up to date with six new chapters addressing what Bishop Athanasius Schneider has called "the fourth great crisis" in the history of the Catholic Church. The additional chapters chronicle the attempts at ecclesial restoration by Benedict XVI and the "Francis revolution" following Benedict's mysterious resignation--including Francis's tumultuous Synod on the Family and his radical reform of the process for determining matrimonial nullity, leading to what some call "Catholic divorce" and a threat of schism on the magnitude of the Lutheran revolt of the 16th century. This new look at the 50 years following the Second Vatican Council is sure to provoke discussion and debate among Catholics concerned about the state of their Church.

In the revised edition of the 2006 Templeton Enterprise Award-winning The Church and the Market: A Catholic Defense of the Free Economy, Tom Woods makes a compelling case for the free market- and why Catholics should support it- in this sweeping polemic. Covering everything fr...

Written to highlight the Catholic Church's central role in shaping Western Civilization, this book shows how the Church gave birth to modern science, international law, the free market economy, and much, much more.

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.

“Let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”—Thomas Jefferson. The United States Constitution—the foundation of our federal republic—is effectively dead, a truth that bestselling authors Thomas E. Woods Jr. and Kevin R. C. Gutzman expose in this provocative work. Government officials across the political spectrum have long abandoned the idea that the Constitution has a fixed meaning limiting their power. This fundamental principle was the very purpose of the document. Woods and Gutzman investigate the forces responsible for undermining the government envisioned by the Founding Fathers, dissecting twelve significant assaults on the Constitution, many of which are virtually unknown. They illustrate that these attacks began long before recent controversies surrounding presidential wars, wasteful spending, and judicial overreach. The authors reveal the federal government’s “great gold robbery,” dismantle the false justification for presidential war power, and expose contradictions in the interpretation of church-state separation. They also scrutinize landmark decisions like Brown v. Board of Education, challenging the notion that government actions deemed “right” are necessarily constitutional. This book serves as a rallying cry for Americans alarmed by government overreach and a stark warning to safeguard our liberties before they are lost.

If you are fed up with Washington boondoggles, and you like the small-government, politically-incorrect thinking of Ron Paul, then you'll love Tom Woods's Meltdown. In clear, no-nonsense terms, Woods explains what led up to this economic crisis, who's really to blame, and why government bailouts won't work. Woods will reveal:* Which brave few economists predicted the economic fallout--and why nobody listened* What really caused the collapse* Why the Fed--not taxpayers--should have to answer for the current economic crisis* Why bailouts are band-aids that will only provide temporary relief and ultimately make things worse* What we should do instead, to put our economy on a healthy path to recoveryWith 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

(…) Jest tajemnicą poliszynela, że dwie najważniejsze książki Kennedy’ego, mimo że wydane pod jego nazwiskiem, zostały napisane przez kogoś innego. Książka Why England Slept (Dlaczego Anglia spała) była poprawioną wersją jego pracy magisterskiej, którą przedstawił na Harvardzie, na cztery miesiące przed publikacją. Jego ojciec poprosił o korektę rękopisu pracy autora swoich przemówień, który później wspominał: „kiedy go dostałem, był to niegramatyczny miszmasz. W zdaniach brakowało podmiotów i czasowników. Była to strasznie niechlujna praca, w której zwyczajnie posklejano ze sobą wycinki z gazet i magazynów”. Joseph Kennedy, ojciec przyszłego prezydenta, bardzo chciał, aby książka jego syna stała się bestsellerem. Z tego powodu kupił od 30000 do 40000 egzemplarzy. (…) Wysłał kopię książki syna premierowi Winstonowi Churchillowi i brytyjskiemu intelektualiście Haroldowi Laskiemu, ten drugi odpowiedział: „na dobrym uniwersytecie pięćdziesięciu studentów pisze podobne książki jak ta i stanowi to część ich normalnej pracy na ostatni rok.” (…) Książka z 1954 roku Profiles In Courange (Sylwetki bohaterów), za którą JFK dostał nagrodę Pulitzera, została napisana przede wszystkim przez autora przemówień Teda Sorensena, a Kennedy zajmował się tylko nadzorem. Ale to Kennedy dostał Pulitzera za książkę, a jego nakazał FBI, żeby sprawdziło grupę pisarzy, która podważała autorstwo Kennedy’ego.” fragment książki

Keine Institution hat die abendländische Zivilisation mehr geformt als die 2000 Jahre alte katholische Kirche - und das durch Leistungen, von denen wir vielleicht nie etwas gewusst oder die wir vergessen haben. „Sternstunden statt dunkles Mittelalter“ ist ein durch und durch positives Buch, ohne Irrungen und Irrtümer zu beschönigen. Es ist Pflichtlektüre für alle, die verlorene oder verdrängte Wahrheiten wiederentdecken möchten. Sie werden u. a. erfahren: Wie die moderne Wissenschaft in der Kirche entstanden ist. Wie katholische Priester die Idee der Marktwirtschaft entwickelt haben und wie die westliche Gesetzgebung aus dem kanonischen Recht entstanden ist.
