I don't agree with everything they say, but certainly there is a wealth of sound economic concepts there. Start with this piece on the idiocy of "shipping jobs overseas": The Nation That Lost Its Jobs, But Got Them Back http://www.mises.org/story/1378 Another good source of information for the newbie is to be found in Walter Williams' essays for JWR and/or Townhall.com: http://www.townhall.com/opinion/contributors/walterwilliams/archive/2005/ (Sowell also writes occasional pieces there on economics, but Williams is more consistently on economic topics and notions) As another suggestion, I found P.J. O'Rourke's "Eat The Rich" to be amusing and filled with enlightening tidbits. If I might suggest, a very good starting place for readings on economics is the daily essays produced by Mises.org

I decided not to since it is free online, but you are right, I need to read it. Unfortunately, that won't be for a while, since I am back in school, and they are making me work like never before. But after December 6th, my final, I will hopefully get to it and some other books I have on my reading list, I'll make sure to let you know what I think. Hope your trip is going well Peter, and looking forward to your upcoming book on it. No, I never bought it. I decided not to since it is free online, but you are right, I need to read it.

I actually have never read a good deal of these but will make sure to do so. HP... did you ever buy George Reisman's book Capitalism? It's a must add to your shelf. I know you are busy of late but I would strongly recommend it and would be interested on your take on the first few chapters. Take it easy, Peter Great list.
