Recommended Reading
Looking for something to do over the weekend? I recommend reading as much as you can and soaking up all the knowledge you can, especially history and economics. I heartily recommend the following books (all on my bookshelf):
| Capitalism and Freedom, by Milton Friedman.
The quintessential guide to successfully running a modern economy by turning people loose. |
|
| The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith.
THE guide to how American capitalism is done. |
|
| Liberal Fascism, Jonah Goldberg. | |
| Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto, Mark R. Levin. | |
| The Road to Serfdom, by F. A. Hayek. | |
| The Great Inflation and It’s Aftermath, by Robert J. Samuelson. | |
| Outliers: The Story of Success, by Malcolm Gladwell. | |
| Paine: Collected Writings, Thomas Paine.
A collection of the writings of Thomas Paine including “Common Sense,” “The Crisis,” “Rights of Man,” “The Age of Reason,” and more pamphlets, articles, and letters. |
|
| The Portable John Adams, Edited by John Patrick Diggins.
Collection of variety of works by American founder, John Adams. Includes correspondence with his wife, Thomas Jefferson, and others. Also includes “Thoughts on Government,” A Defense of the Constitutions of the United States of America, and more. |
|
| American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America, Chris Hedges. |
Just a boy from small-town western New York (Batavia) with strong convictions and a desire to express my opinions. I'm married and have a daughter with whom I am taking great pains to brainwash into my way of thinking (so far with great success).
Though I am a software engineer by day, I read a great deal about current events, history, and economics and philosophy. I'm certain that many of my former teachers will be pleasantly surprised to hear this. I've grown very interested in trying to help educate others about the liberty guaranteed to us in the United States Constitution and the economic theories on which this Country was founded.
