For the last month or so, I've been voraciously reading economic literature on the web. The spree started with this interview of Milton Friedman, which I've linked to like 5 times previously:



I can honestly say this completely altered the way I looked at the world, and wish this stuff was required learning in schools.

I've also started branching out to other free market economists like Alan Greenspan, Ron Paul, Walter Williams, and Thomas Sowell.

I just finished Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman, which I really enjoyed, but damn, I seriously had to read each sentence like 3 times, and then reread each paragraph to fully grasp the concepts. So if you're up to the task, I would highly recommend it. Gonna read Thomas Sowell's Knowledge and Decisions next (yeah yeah, I'm a Tucker Max crony, I'll admit, but none of his recommended books have let me down so far).

I know there are people who completely disagree with his stances, but I don't see how anyone who has really listened to him can do so.

Other good Friedman videos:







You can watch a crap load of good interviews here:

http://www.hoover.org/bios/friedman.html

And his entire 1980 and updated 1990 Free to Choose video series here:

http://ideachannel.tv/

So yeah, discuss. Also, any good econ sites or videos you guys enjoy?

Hey, i'm capped and too lazy to watch the videos myself. But do these economic theories help with share trading / investing?

You should check out the Mises Institute. Tons of great free market economic literature for free download under the "Literature" section.

Rock on, brother,
Practise, practise, practise.

Train -- Nope. Actually maybe. I don't know, I don't invest. Couldn't hurt though.

Skye_Myo -- Thanks, I'll check that out, and nice country.
