- Ion Novăcescu,”The Media Lynching in Romanian Politics. 1919. The Truth vs. I. C. Brătianu” (Adevărul Collection) presents the chronicle of the first media lynching in the Romanian press; the most powerful statesman of the Greater Romanian, the liberal Prim-Minister I. C. Brătianu was executed in 1919, for 333 days, by the great journalist Constantin Mile- the founding father of the Romanian modern press- and its influential journal, Adevărul.
- Ionuț Sterpan and Dragoș Paul Aligică (publishers), “Intellectual Center-Right: Theories and Schools of Thought of the Western Contemporary Center-Right” (Humanitas, 2011) contains a analysis of the ideas that intellectually influence the western center-right, from political philosophies that define the contemporary western civilization, criticisms to some cultural phenomena that have institutional implications, or fundamental research programs that have reformed the social and humanistic subjects, to macroeconomics schools of thought, sociological and philosophical trials of exploring the relation between the capitalism and Christianity, or applications of economic theory regarding the study of the economic growth phenomenon. The reviews expressed hope that this book, the first trial of this kind in Romania, will contribute both to the study of the social and humanistic subjects and to the modernization of the political debate.
- Valeriu Stoica and Dragoș Paul Aligică,”Rebuilding the Center-Right: Between the Western Capitalist Experiment and the Romanian National Project” (Humanitas 2009) is reviving the debate against the so-called liberalist architecture that is coming from the anti-liberalism and anti-capitalism radicalism of the inter-war period.
