Misesian Books To Influential People/Gideon Bible Concept

[S.Shorland]

CNBC hosts still ask RP the same questions.Someone should send them 'What Has Government Done To Our Money' and 'Economics In One Lesson'.Maybe someone should get in touch with the Mises institute and see if they would co-ordinate a book sending drive?That way we don't duplicate effort. 'What Has Government Done To Our Money'.It's a very short and informative read.Available free as pdf from mises.org. How much would it cost to print up a laminated version and put it in a hotel room?I like physical books because once you are sent a book,it nags at your conscience if you don't read it.Every time you open a drawer and discover it,it asks you questions.

'Nullification' by Tom Woods to be sent to State legislatures.We could actually make a lot of difference for not too great an outlay.

Sent this email to Lew Rockwell and Geoffrey Tucker at the Mises Institute (I added Nullification to Mr Tucker's email even though they don't publish it)

Hello Mr Rockwell,

Several people on 'ronpaulforums.com' have sent various books to people of note or their state legislators.There is a duplication of effort in this process,however.Perhaps the Mises Institute could organize this centrally and contributors could then make donations? The obvious titles are,in my opinion: 'What Has Government Done To Our Money' and 'Economics In One Lesson'. I know they are available in pdf but I feel an unread physical book actually 'demands' to be read.You can put it in a drawer but whenever it is rediscovered,it will challenge ones' conscience.

Yours,S.J.Shorland

Got a quick reply from Lew:

Sir, good for you, but we are not big enough to dedicate someone to do that work. I do agree with you, of course. Indeed, we hope to bring out a cheaper version of What Has for exactly this purpose.

Capital idea! People staying in hotels, especially on business, tend to have very little to fill their downtime. I also imagine hotel stays trigger many folks toward thinking about money anyway (a decent room is pretty pricey these days). Anything short and attention-grabbing by Rothbard, Schiff, etc. is a sure winner.
