When Ron Paul mentioned "The Law" by Bastiat in the Huckabee forum the other night as his "suggested reading", he inspired me to come up with some more titles that I think would be beneficial for anyone who wanted to learn more about liberty and/or free market economics. A lot of you have probably already read some of these, but I thought I would post these anyway cause I'm bored and I like making lists ;)
These are all freely available and most are rather short and easy to understand, they don't require you to have any specific knowledge beforehand.
1. The Law - Bastiat (http://mises.org/resources/6299)
(found in here)
2. Government - Bastiat (http://mises.org/resources/6299)
(found in here)
3. Economics in One Lesson - Henry Hazlitt (http://mises.org/books/economics_in_one_lesson_hazlitt.pdf)
4. What Has Government Done to our Money? - Murray Rothbard (http://mises.org/resources/617/What-Has-Government-Done-to-Our-Money)
5. Gold, Peace, and Prosperity - Ron Paul (http://mises.org/resources/3150)
6. Profit and Loss - Ludwig Von Mises (http://mises.org/resources/3736)
7. Left and Right: The Prospect for Liberty - Murray Rothbard (http://mises.org/resources/1016)
8. Great Myths of the Great Depression - Reed (http://www.fee.org/articles/great-myths-of-the-great-depression/)
9. I, Pencil - Leonard Read (http://www.fee.org/library/books/i-pencil-2/)
10. The Road to Serfdom (Condensed Version) - F.A. Hayek (http://mises.ch/library/Hayek_Road_to_Serfdom_RD_condensed.pdf)
Anyway, let me know what you think of these if you've read any of them and also suggest more that you can think of! :)
