First published as a pamphlet in 1850 in response to the socialist-communist plans and ideas being adopted in France at that time, The Law remains equally relevant today, as the same ideas are now sweeping America.

A must Read

Very applicable for today's political climate. I rhino it should be required reading along with 1984

A must read for anyone interested in education
Revisado: 07-10-20
In classic Thomas Sowell fashion, this book leaves no doubt in what the author explains. All his data is available and his conclusions very sound. It would be quite the feat for anyone to rebut him on his claims without using a bit of sophistry. I highly recommend this one as education is such an important part of the modern world.

Historia
If business is so bad, why does it remain so integral to the basic functioning of America? Economist and best-selling author Tyler Cowen says our biggest problem is that we don’t love business enough. In Big Business, Cowen puts forth an impassioned defense of corporations and their essential role in a balanced, productive, and progressive society. He dismantles common misconceptions and untangles conflicting intuitions.

Historia
Human Action is the most important book on political economy you will ever own. It was (and remains) the most comprehensive, systematic, forthright, and powerful defense of the economics of liberty ever written. This is the Scholar's Edition: accept no substitute. You will treasure this volume. The Scholar's Edition is the original, unaltered treatise (originally published in 1949) that shaped a generation of Austrians and made possible the intellectual movement that is leading the global charge for free markets.

Must Read
Revisado: 03-12-19
The book can be daunting at times, helpful to have studied economics in college. However very instructive and worth the read. Much of the concepts are clear and easy to understand. Don't let the length steer you away.

Overall enjoyable
Revisado: 02-16-19
The language is a little on the strong side, my brother says it gets better in the later books so I'll likely get them as well. I really enjoy the seemingly realistic space battles, reminds me of the Star Force books. I recommend the read you any who enjoy sci-fi fantasy.

Historia
In The Righteous Mind, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of our divisions and points the way forward to mutual understanding. His starting point is moral intuition - the nearly instantaneous perceptions we all have about other people and the things they do. These intuitions feel like self-evident truths, making us righteously certain that those who see things differently are wrong. Haidt shows us how these intuitions differ across cultures, including the cultures of the political left and right.

Historia
The culture of “safety” and its intolerance of opposing viewpoints has left many young people anxious and unprepared for adult life. Lukianoff and Haidt offer a comprehensive set of reforms that will strengthen young people and institutions, allowing us all to reap the benefits of diversity, including viewpoint diversity. This is a book for anyone who is confused by what’s happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live and work and cooperate across party lines.

Great for everyone.
Revisado: 11-06-18
I disagree politically with a few of the authors' viewpoints, however I was greatly impressed with the logic and how their conclusions were formed. a must read floor everyone.
Forewarning, there are a couple spots with strong language as the authors quote what had been said at protests etc to make their point.
I wouldn't consider this a political book, but rather a truth seeking book. Also has some self help tips and experiences.

Here is the gritty, powerful story of Thomas Sowell's life-long education in the school of hard knocks, a journey that took him from Harlem to the Marines, the Ivy League, and a career as a controversial writer, teacher, and economist in government and private industry. It is also the story of the dramatically changing times in which this personal odyssey took place.

A wonderful look into the life of the man whose ideas have greatly influenced my economic training. Thomas Sowell's work ought to be studied in economic classes everywhere.

Historia
A million-copy seller, Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson is a classic economic primer. But it is also much more, having become a fundamental influence on modern “libertarian” economics of the type espoused by Ron Paul and others. Called by H. L. Mencken “one of the few economists in history who could really write,” Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work.
