He should add the 5,000 Year Leap and Atlas Shrugged to this one and sell them as a "Beginners Pack" for all those who have been indoctrinated into socialism by our public schools. It'd make a great graduation present.

“Atlas Shrugged” is a huge book. That isn’t a beginner’s anything.

I think it is a problem of exposure. Without FR and some of the talk radio folks out there I would have never heard of most of the conservative books that I have read. They certainly were not handing them out as reading material when I went to high school or college. My kids who went to a private high school and while they read some of the “great books” never read much that was very political or even philosophical.

Oh, good for you! Seaman Anoreth was trying to give copies of “Basic Economics” and “Applied Economics” to the English-speaking residents of Brunei, “Because your economy sucks, and my mother will get me new economics when I get home.”

Hayek, Friedman the U of Chicago school, Von Mises were introduced in a macro econ class taught by an Iranian dissident. Excellent teacher.
I learned about free market econ from a person who
aspired to be an American not from the entrenched tenured
professors.

Frederick von Hayek was an “obscure economist” according to this journo. I noticed that too. Demonstrates the abject ignorance of most journalists.

Another great Hayek read is ‘The Constitution of Liberty’.

FYI, you can get April The Reader’s Digest condensed version of
The Road to Serfdom from April 1945
here. Share and enjoy.
To: Responsibility2nd
Ah, I see someone already mentioned that in the replies.
To: bamahead
"Another great Hayek read is ‘The Constitution of Liberty’."
I've had both in my library for some time. I also have von Mises' 'Human Action' (that last one is a dry read, but interesting).
To: FrdmLvr
Yeah, it helped me form my philosophy too. Really important book for me.
