I hope you enjoy learning. Here are fun ideas to learn about economics and history. I like these and hope you will too.
Authors
Thomas Sowell
Economist and Historian. Very clear thoughts, never boring. So many books to choose from.
Henry Hazlitt
Book “Economics in One Lesson” is a great place to start.
Murray Rothbard
“Anatomy of the State” short, jaw dropper. Other books heavier but worth it. I learned most from: “Mystery of Banking”.
Ayn Rand
“Atlas Shrugged” is #1. Original title “The Strike”. But the strike is by business owners.
Richard Maybury
Easy books on history and economics. Written as letters to 15 year old.
Where to Get Them
AbeBooks.com
You can usually find books for $5 used here. No reason to pay more unless you are a collector.
Audiobooks
Most libraries now offer audiobooks. It’s OK to read audiobooks and it is still reading. You can walk, bike, or empty the dishwasher while you read.
The Library
A forgotten treasure. If you haven’t been to a library recently, it’s probably better than you remember.
Podcasts
Ron Paul – Liberty Report
Current events from the lens of voluntarism and liberty.
Joe Rogan – Joe Rogan Podcast
Long conversations and asks good questions.
Scott Horton
In-depth history of Geo-Political events.
Brett Weinstein – Dark Horse
Investigates various subjects. Respects scientific process.
If you are ever trying to “force a book down” like a food you don’t like, stop. Move on to the next book.
