{"product_id":"the-eternal-enemies-ricardo-beleta-guasch-9798262978342","title":"The Eternal Enemies: Man and the State","description":"The current crisis, which affects us all, is not due to a feeling of being unable to move forward; on the contrary, we feel more capable than ever. The problem is that we have come up against an insurmountable wall: the State.\u003cbr\u003eHistory shows us that every society eventually creates an \"entity\" with the naïve hope that it will provide happiness and well-being. Yet, as soon as it is created, the State climbs upon Society, and Society ends up existing solely to sustain it. The people become the food of an insatiable monster, and social life falls into a condition of servitude: all interest in economic, cultural, moral, or spiritual effort disappears.\u003cbr\u003eHence the great crisis we now endure: Society has lost the vital stimulus that gave it life-freedom.\u003cbr\u003eWe have strayed from those essential ideas upon which European civilization was founded. For the great apostles of liberty, this word meant freedom from coercion, freedom from arbitrary power, and the removal of any bonds that might prevent the individual from exercising free choice. Today, however, we find ourselves in the grip of an insatiable \"big bad wolf\" that keeps us bound hand and foot. If we were only a little more dignified and intelligent, we would long ago have stopped it in its tracks.\u003cbr\u003eThis book seeks to show the reader how and why we have reached this point, and what we can do to free ourselves from the monster's claws.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ricardo Beleta Guasch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798262978342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Ricardo Beleta Guasch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997116936447,"sku":"9798262978342","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-eternal-enemies-ricardo-beleta-guasch-9798262978342","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
