Which 4-6 books should I buy?

[Reason]

I have

Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1455501778/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER)

&

63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1616082267/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER)

in my cart, what else should I consider?

[kpfareal]

Do you already own Meltdown, Rollback, Nullification, The Tea Party Goes to Washington and all the previous Ron Paul and Judge Napolitano books?

[AuH20]

buy this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Free-Trade-Doesnt-Work-Replace/dp/0578048205

Maybe one of these days, we'll actually see free trade instead of a perversion of it.

[muzzled dogg]

those tom woods ones are ok; i was disappointed with the napolitano books

if you're more of a academic purest libertarian you can get a lot of good stuff on mises.org but since you're on amazon check democracy the god that failed; last i head mises didnt have the rights to distribute it

that schiff cartoon book why an economy grows is pretty cool. he's got a few other other investing ones

interested in any of ayn rand's fiction?

what about some barry goldwater?

there's a whole section on this forum dedicated to liberty books, with a few must-read stickies

[dbill27]

The Fountainhead, road to serfdom, Human action, or for the price of one of those you could get a year subscription to reason magazine.

Economics in One Lesson

The Complete Joy of Homebrewing

[White Bear Lake]

Funny, I was just going through Amazon and some other websites and making a list of books I need to get in the future. My current top 10 to buy list looks like this:

1)America's Great Depression - Rothbard
2)Free to Choose - Friedman
3)The Death and Life of Great American Cities - Jacobs (supposed to be really interesting if you like cities and want to know how gov't planning turned them into the slums a lot of them are now)
4)Ethnic America: A History - Sowell
5)Conscience of a Conservative - Goldwater
6)The Betrayal of the American Right - Rothbard
7)The Way the World Works - Wanniski
8)The Law - Bastiat
9)God and Man at Yale - Buckley
10)The Theory of Money and Credit - Mises

Other Books I highly recommend:
-Economics in One Lesson - Hazlitt (Just finished reading. This is one of the greatest, simplest explanation of how economics works I've ever read. I would strongly encourage everyone to read this.)
-The Road to Serfdom - Hayek

[LibertariaNole]

I second Bastiat's "The Law" Also, grab Rothbard's "For a New Liberty"

[TNforPaul45]

Remember a lot of the Mises and Rothbard and other books are free on Mises.org. You can read them there while you are waiting for the funds to buy them to support the LvMI.

I've always enjoyed Johnny Cash's autobiography and Eat Pray Love......... what?

[iamse7en]

I approve of all books already suggested, especially ones by Woods and Rothbard. One not yet mentioned: None Dare Call it Conpsiracy. You can find it on scribd, or you can buy a used copy for a couple bucks.

both free on mises

[Wesker1982]

both free on mises

Yep.

I "read" For a New Liberty and Defending the Undefendable on audio. There is no way I could read a whole book on a monitor without my eyes bleeding. I am going to buy physical copies still though so I can loan them out or read certain chapters for whatever reason etc.

I'm just about finished Hazlitt's Economics in one lesson, and it's truly awesome.

"Our Enemy the State" by Albert J. Nock

[evilfunnystuff]

The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin


Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magicians' secrets are unveiled. We get a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, their pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A dry and boring subject? Just wait!

You'll be hooked in five minutes. Reads like a detective story - which it really is. But it's all true. This book is about the most blatant scam of all history. It's all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity.

Creature from Jekyll Island is a "must read." Your world view will definitely change. You'll never trust a politician again - or a banker.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A superb analysis deserving serious attention by all Americans. Be prepared for one heck of a journey through time and mind."

Ron Paul

Publisher/Editor, Ron Paul Report

Member, House Banking Committee

"What every American needs to know about central bank power. A gripping adventure into the secret world of the international banking cartel."

Mark Thornton

Asst. Professor of Economics, Auburn Univ.

Coordinator Academic Affairs,

Ludwig von Mises Institute

"A magnificent accomplishment - a train load of heavy history, organized so well and written in such a relaxed and easy style that it captivated me. I hated to put it down."

[Michael Landon]

I'm going way out on a limb here but I think you should pick up:

The Ice Opinion by ICE-T
It is an awesome book and it's from the early 90's so you should be able to get it cheap.

The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin

I really need to get around to reading this. I've read End the Fed which is a good overview of the topic but Jekyll Island goes into much more depth on the subject,

[muzzled dogg]

The Revolution: A Manifesto, Nullification, Rollback, End the Fed, American Empire Before the Fall, The New American Militarism, The Real Lincoln, How an Economy Grows and Why it Crashes, Three New Deals: Mussolini, Hitler, and Roosevelt.

My wishlist on Amazon consists of:

My cart on Amazon consists of:
Liberty Defined, Yankee Leviathan: The Origins of Central State Authority in America, 1859-1877, For a New Liberty, The Original Constitution: What it Actually Said and Meant, Economics in One Lesson,.

[IDefendThePlatform]

My favorite is "The Machinery of Freedom" by David Friedman. Great explanation of how a society based on property rights and anarcho capitalism would work.

Also, the Great Libertarian Offer by Harry Browne is pretty good and easy to read.

[Southron]

The 5000 Year Leap

[Mike4Freedom]

The Creature from Jekyll Island. It may be a long book but you won't be able to put it down. It is an awesome book.
