Marcus R Wigan

A Delphi survey was undertaken with a selection of professionals in academic, government and consulting across the world.

A Burguesia Contra O Estado? Crise Política, Ação De Classe E Os Rumos Da Transição, Adriano Codato

It is "the freedom the individual, "" democracy "," body "," man, "language" "Ethics," "rationality," "the argumentacin" etc..
