Books on economics

[jlizgar]

I was just asked by a very conservative friend of mine if there are any books that I would recommend on economics...to be honest, ive never read any so I need help here!
I have been posting alot about our problems and Pausl views on how to fix it but she is just generally clueless all around when it comes to economics so I want to help educate her so she gets it!

Check out the Von Mises Institute and that would be a start!!!

 

[Patronus]

The Theory of Money And Credit by von Mises
****The Creature From Jekell Island by Griffin**** She can also watch this doc film on Google Video.

I like always you should study both sides and make up your mind.

Wealth of Nations By Adam Smith

The Principles of Political Economy and Taxation by David Ricardo

A Treatise on Political Economy by Jean-Baptist Say

Principle of Economics by Alfred Marshall (it's hard to get an unabridged copy)

Theory of Money and Credit by Ludwig von Mises

Principle of Economics by Carl Menger

These are books on my reading list.
