La storia della breve vita di Tommaso Puzzilli, un giovane sottoproletario delle borgate romane, scorre impetuosa attraverso piccoli furti e bravate, prostituzione e vagabondaggi notturni, fino al tragico sacrificio finale. Ma è anche storia di contrastata redenzione, di impossibile riscatto sociale in un mondo disperatamente senza uscita, che racconta di un'Italia post-bellica divisa tra la fame dei diseredati che popolano i sobborghi e i primi segni di un benessere economico che avrebbe appiattito la società italiana nella grigia mediocrità degli ideali piccolo-borghesi.

L'audiolibro di Corrias è fatto di voci: la voce di Bianciardi prima di tutto, dei libri, degli articoli e delle lettere in cui con spietato sarcasmo e grande umorismo proclama il proprio orrore per la società in costruzione, il suo produttivismo e l'euforica adesione ad esso anche dei compagni di lavoro.

Max Weber's best-known and most controversial work, The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, first published in 1904, remains to this day powerful and fascinating. Weber's highly accessible style is just one of many reasons for his continuing popularity. The book contends that the Protestant ethic made possible and encouraged the development of capitalism in the West.

Edited by Samuel H. Beer, with key selections from Capital and "The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte", this volume features an especially helpful introduction that serves as a guide to Marxist political and economic theory and to placing the specific writings in their contemporary setting. Included are a bibliography and list of important dates in the life of Karl Marx.

The foundation for all modern economic thought and political economy, The Wealth of Nations is the magnum opus of Scottish economist Adam Smith, who introduces the world to the very idea of economics and capitalism in the modern sense of the words.

Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism (1917), by Vladimir Lenin, describes the function of financial capital in generating profits from imperialist colonialism as the final stage of capitalist development to ensure greater profits. The essay is a synthesis of Lenin's modifications and developments of economic theories that Karl Marx formulated in Das Kapital (1867).

It was Adam Smith (1723 - 1790) who first established economics as a separate branch of knowledge, and many would say his work has never been surpassed. The Wealth of Nations, which appeared in 1776, is the definitive text for all who believe that economic decisions are best left to markets, not governments. At the heart of Smith’s doctrine is an optimistic view of the effects of self-interest.
