Book
Basic Economics 2nd Ed
by Thomas Sowell
Outlines the principles behind each major type of economy including capitalist, socialist, and feudal, in terms of the incentives each creates.
Book
Witness
by Whittaker Chambers
The author recounts the forces that shaped his life, describes his involvement with the Communist Party, and explains the reasons for his identification of Alger Hiss as a Communist agent.
Book
The Prince
by Niccolo Machiavelli
That Machiavelli’s name has become synonymous with cold-eyed political calculation only heightens the intrinsic fascination of The Prince–the world’s preeminent how-to manual on the art of getting and keeping power, and one of the literary landmarks of the Italian Renaissance. Written in a vigorous, straightforward style that reflects its author’s realism, this treatise on states, statecraft, and the ideal ruler is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand how human society actually works.
