As its name implies, this section aims to offer a collection of free downloads and free online works, whose main criterion for their inclusion in this collection is that they contain ideas that can help to elucidate the main issues or problems faced by humanity and, thus, assist in the advent of consistent solutions to these problems (both socially and individually).
As work continues, new works will be added little by little. Naturally, the works aim to support our Associated Sites and Pages.
