Which 4-6 books should I buy?

Do you already own Meltdown, Rollback, Nullification, The Tea Party Goes to Washington and all the previous Ron Paul and Judge Napolitano books?
 
those tom woods ones are ok; i was disappointed with the napolitano books

if you're more of a academic purest libertarian you can get a lot of good stuff on mises.org but since you're on amazon check democracy the god that failed; last i head mises didnt have the rights to distribute it

that schiff cartoon book why an economy grows is pretty cool. he's got a few other other investing ones

interested in any of ayn rand's fiction?

what about some barry goldwater?

there's a whole section on this forum dedicated to liberty books, with a few must-read stickies
 
The Fountainhead, road to serfdom, Human action, or for the price of one of those you could get a year subscription to reason magazine.
 
Funny, I was just going through Amazon and some other websites and making a list of books I need to get in the future. My current top 10 to buy list looks like this:

1)America's Great Depression - Rothbard
2)Free to Choose - Friedman
3)The Death and Life of Great American Cities - Jacobs (supposed to be really interesting if you like cities and want to know how gov't planning turned them into the slums a lot of them are now)
4)Ethnic America: A History - Sowell
5)Conscience of a Conservative - Goldwater
6)The Betrayal of the American Right - Rothbard
7)The Way the World Works - Wanniski
8)The Law - Bastiat
9)God and Man at Yale - Buckley
10)The Theory of Money and Credit - Mises

Other Books I highly recommend:
-Economics in One Lesson - Hazlitt (Just finished reading. This is one of the greatest, simplest explanation of how economics works I've ever read. I would strongly encourage everyone to read this.)
-The Road to Serfdom - Hayek

Remember a lot of the Mises and Rothbard and other books are free on Mises.org. You can read them there while you are waiting for the funds to buy them to support the LvMI.
 
I approve of all books already suggested, especially ones by Woods and Rothbard. One not yet mentioned: None Dare Call it Conpsiracy. You can find it on scribd, or you can buy a used copy for a couple bucks.
 
both free on mises

Yep.

I "read" For a New Liberty and Defending the Undefendable on audio. There is no way I could read a whole book on a monitor without my eyes bleeding. I am going to buy physical copies still though so I can loan them out or read certain chapters for whatever reason etc.
 
ayn rands anthem (dystopian novella). capitalism and freedom by friedman. how an economy grows and why it crashes by schiff. self reliance by ralph waldo emerson. 1984 by orwell. fa hayeks road to serfdom or constitution of liberty
