With America’s largest city electing an openly socialist mayor, I want to introduce you all to Austrian Economics, a method of economic thinking that makes clear what we already know: the free market works, and government meddling just doesn’t work.
As your state representative, I will continue to fight for the American Dream which can only be achieved by limiting government to just protecting life, liberty, and property, and ensuring Kentucky never falls into socialism. But I also want you to understand both what we’re up against and what we’re for.
Here’s a reading list of incredible FREE economics books, all of which I had finished by the time I graduated high school, in order from most simple to most complex (in my opinion):
1. Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt
2. What has the Government Done to Our Money by Murray Rothbard
3. Meltdown by
@ThomasEWoods
4. Choice by
@BobMurphyEcon
5. End the Fed by
@RonPaul
6. Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth by Ludwig von Mises
7. The Road to Serfdom by FA Hayek
8. The Failure of the New Economics by Henry Hazlitt
9. Socialism by Ludwig von Mises
10. Human Action by Ludwig von
@Mises
All ten of these books can be read for free on
Mises.org, and if you read these, you’ll have a greater grasp on economics than most people with an Economics degree (I say that as someone who has an economics degree). But of course, there’s many other books that are rather recently published. For example, I highly recommend The Case Against Socialism by
@RandPaul and
@KelleyAshbyPaul for a great historical analysis of the failures of socialism, and an explanation of why it fails every time it’s been tried.
Prosperity demands freedom, and the fight for freedom will never perish in America!
