Ideas can be a feast or a trap, a spark of lucidity or a cliché. In Liberal Aphorisms, Carlos Rodríguez Braun takes up the baton from Ramón Gómez de la Serna and turns economics, politics, and society into a game of wit and sharpness. With the edge of humor and the flash of metaphor, the author dismantles clichés and challenges dogmas, especially those of "all-party" socialism, as Hayek warned. Through 250 greguerías, he takes an irreverent look at issues such as wealth and poverty, taxes and inequality, feminism and ecology, morality and religion, inflation and central banks, among many...
Ideas can be a feast or a trap, a spark of lucidity or a cliché. In Liberal Aphorisms, Carlos Rodríguez Braun takes up the baton from Ramón Gómez de la Serna and turns economics, politics, and society into a game of wit and sharpness. With the edge of humor and the flash of metaphor, the author dismantles clichés and challenges dogmas, especially those of "all-party" socialism, as Hayek warned. Through 250 greguerías, he takes an irreverent look at issues such as wealth and poverty, taxes and inequality, feminism and ecology, morality and religion, inflation and central banks, among many other topics. In addition, some of these greguerías are accompanied by Rafa Sañudo (New York, 1965), a designer, illustrator, humorist, and audiovisual producer who has created hundreds of album covers, music videos, advertising campaigns, and cartoons, as well as designing the official map of the Madrid Metro and collaborating with the Coen brothers. These pages feature such disparate characters as Marx and Hayek, Borges and García Márquez, Fidel Castro and Trump, Pope Francis and Mussolini. All, without exception, are the subject of the author's scathing irony and sharp wit. With writing that is as brilliant as it is provocative, Rodríguez Braun not only entertains, but also provokes thought. Because, as Don Ramón said: "A greguería is the footnote of thought."
