1. Sobre A Tirania
Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
Um manual conciso que recolhe lições do século XX para identificar e resistir ao avanço de regimes autoritários: destaca a importância de defender instituições democráticas, proteger a verdade e a imprensa, recusar a normalização da violência e da discriminação, atuar por meio do voto, da desobediência civil e da solidariedade com grupos vulneráveis, e adotar pequenas práticas cotidianas de resistência, lembrando que a liberdade depende de decisões concretas de cidadãos e instituições.

2. Our Malady
Lessons in Liberty from a Hospital Diary
A series of essays arguing that the condition of a society’s health care and other caring institutions reveals the strength of its liberty, showing how the United States’ fragmented, market-driven approach to medicine and declining public institutions undermines social solidarity and prepares the ground for political decay; the book traces historical and contemporary examples to show that refusing collective responsibility for the sick and vulnerable corrodes democratic norms and invites authoritarian solutions, and it calls for renewed public commitment to institutions and practices that protect common life.
