Ron Paul's reading list to his supporters

[Stealth4]

Lets say Ron Paul gave his supporters a reading list of five (5) books. What do you think he would suggest? (Please list 5)

He'd have to include foreign policy history, austrian economics, constution...


I'd really like it if Ron Paul gave us a reading list. Thats one summer reading assignment I would do.

Capitalism and Freedom, Milton Friedman

Road to Serfdom F.A Hayek

 

[Nyte]

• Creature From Jekyll Island, by G. Edward Griffin
  
• Unintended Consequences, by John Ross
  
• Blowback, The Costs and Consequences of American Empire, by Chalmers Johnson
  
• A Foreign Policy of Freedom: Peace, Commerce, and Honest Friendship, by Ron Paul
  
• Freedom Under Siege, by Ron Paul

Capitalism and Freedom, by Milton Friedman should be on the list as well.

 

[krott5333]

I think Thomas Paine's Common Sense would be in there.

Blowback, definitely.

Unintended Consequences.. awesome book!

 

[Syren123]

Road to Serfdom for starters.

 

[MayTheRonBeWithYou]

Imperial Hubris by Michael Scheuer.

It was on Rudy's list.

 

[GodOfThunder]

Atlas Shrugged
and
The Federalist Papers

 

[SWATH]

The Art of War

-Sun Tsu

 

[Nyte]

The Anarchist Cookbook, by William Powell
The Poor Man's James Bond, by Kurt Saxon

 

[Andrew-Austin]

Atlas Shrugged
and
The Federalist Papers

I doubt he would pimp Atlas Shrugged...

You know what, I'll just toss out "1984" for the sake of it.

 

[RedLightning]

Maybe Molon Labe, by "Boston T. Party"

Unintended Consequences.. awesome book!

I loved that book too, though I'm not sure its for everyone...especially not govt employees.

 

[RSLudlum]

How'd everybody miss these easy 2:

Declaration of Independence
Constitution

 

[Anti Federalist]

Creature From Jekyll Island - G. Edward Griffin

Unintended Consequences - John Ross

Compromised - Terry Reed

Wealth of Nations - Adam Smith

The Federalist Papers and much more important, the ANTI - Federalist papers.

Road to Serfdom - F.A. Hayek

 

[AggieforPaul]

I'm not so sure about Atlas Shrugged. Ron Paul's attempts to reform Washington from within and wake people up is the exact opposite of John Galt's attempt to round up the elite and give the finger to everyone else.

 

[CCTelander]

For A New Liberty - Murray Rothbard (http://www.mises.org/rothbard/newliberty.asp)

What Has Government Done to Our Money? - Murray Rothbard (http://www.mises.org/money.asp)

Attention Deficit Democracy - James Bovard

The Black Arrow - Vin Suprynowicz (If you liked Unintended Consequences you'll probably like this one.)

Human Action - Ludwig Von Mises (http://www.mises.org/Books/HumanActionScholars.pdf)

 

[fourameuphoria]

1) How to win friends and influence people
2) How to win friends and influence people
3) How to win friends and influence people
4) How to win friends and influence people
5) How to win friends and influence people

He more or less gave it to us in his last email entitled Onward!

Per Dr. Paul
This movement has always operated on two tracks -- intellectual and political, and must. The first and most important is the intellectual. Such heroes of freedom as Ludwig von Mises, Hayek, Henry Hazlitt, Murray Rothbard, and so many others like Rose Wilder Lane, John T. Flynn, Isabel Patterson, and Garret Garrett, have helped build the foundations of freedom, prosperity, and peace. We carry on their work, to change hearts and minds.



First, for anyone not familiar with Austrian Economics, this is essential. It's not on this list, but here is the book I'd reccommend before jumping into anything on economics by Mises or Rothbard:

Economics for Real People, by Gene Callahan
Review | Free PDF | Purchase the Book
(Understanding this material is key to understanding Dr. Paul's core philosophy)

"For a New Liberty" by Murray Rothbard
Purchase the Book | Free Audio Book Download


"The Discovery of Freedom" by Rose Wilder Lane
Purchase the book | Free PDF Download


"The Road Ahead: America's Creeping Revolution" by John T. Flynn
Free PDF | Buy the Book Used

"The Law" by Frederick Bastiat
Buy the book for $6.00 | Read it as a web posting



This is probably a good start at a reading/study list.

 

[LibertyBrews]

The Constitution and 1984 by George Orwell, some Austrian economics too.
