Thread: I could use some advice on the next economics book to read (beginner-ish)

  1. #1

    Default I could use some advice on the next economics book to read (beginner-ish)

    for someone who has read Road to Serfdom and The Law, and wants something, quote "more economics" but not so incredibly dense it isn't readable.

    Any ideas?

    You're probably ready for some Rothbard. Maybe America's Great Depression or What Has Government Done to Our Money?
    "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight, because once they've got you violent then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non-violence and humor. "

    MIT open courseware economics section offers a bazillion entries' worth often interesting-looking material. I didn't notice anything "Austrian-oriented", but you still may find it worthwhile. Also, "Lessons For The Young Economist" by Bob Murphy and "Money, Credit, and Economic Cycles". http://mises.org/books/desoto.pdf
