    No Thomas Sowell?

    Invisible Heart without Sowell?

    Agreed, while Hazlitt is great, Basic Economics by Sowell is a rock-solid classic imho, his follow-up is great too.

    The Thomas Sowell books (Basic Economics and Applied Economics) taught me the importance of economic reasoning and the obvious in hindsight ways they apply to policy decisions. I would have liked to see them get som publicity.

    5th-ing Sowell, especially Basic Economics.

    The market has spoken! The list must be amended!

    Henri:


    I think it's a typepad thing. I've seen amazon links disappear rather quickly elsewhere on typepad based sites. Although I'm sure it's not only typepad, that's just what I've noticed.


    Stealing bandwidth I suppose.
