1993304 pages. Black and white illustrations. "Few of us have known until the release of this book that NAFTA may be an elaborate camouflage for a totalitarian police state stretching from the Canadian Arctic to the southernmost reaches of Mexico. Yet this is the thrust of a Secret Report by a North American Counter Intelligence Military Team and certain ancillary documents. The Report cites far-reaching legislation which shifted the responsibility for law enforcement in the U.S. to the U.N. The creation of MJTF and FINCEN seem preliminary to a massive round-up of North American citizens opposed to the New World Order." - back cover. Clean and unmarked with moderate wear.

1783In -4°, pp. VIII, 182, (4). Piena pergamena con titolo al dorso. Prima edizione. Contraddittorio e inquieto studioso, Odazi (Atri, 1741 - Napoli, 1794) è considerato fra gli economisti napoletani di maggior rilievo nella seconda metà del Settecento. Allievo del Genovesi, la cui cattedra gli sarebbe stata affidata nel 1781, massone, partecipò se pure con indolenza al fermento politico che avrebbe portato nel 1799 alla guerra civile e poi alla Repubblica napoletana. Ma, imprigionato nel ’94, si era ucciso in carcere, in circostanze mai chiarite. In questo suo “dotto studio” O. invoca “contro l’opinione del Galiani, la libertà dei prezzi, col notevole intento di giovare agli umili e, di riverbero, alla prosperità nazionale” (R. di Castiglione, “La massoneria nelle due Sicilie”, Gangemi, 2006, p. 115). A restless and complex scholar, Odazi was considered one of the major neapolitan economists of the second half of XVIII century. A mason, pupil of Genovesi, whose chair he obtained in 1781, he took part in politic stirs that brong in 1799 to civil war in Naples and the to the “Repubblica”. But he was imprisoned and died in jail, probably suicide, in ’94. In this learned work O. claims, against Galiani opinion, the freedom of prices, meaning to benefit the humble classes.
