Matthew M., Feb 14, 2011, 10:11AM ESTRollback... that's a book I plan to order at some point. I read the first two chapters only for free (via Google Books) and it was really good. Some of the facts he included were shocking even to me.
I also hear Ron Paul has another book coming out in a few months... Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom -
Matthew M., Feb 11, 2011, 2:30PM ESTAhh, the Mises Institute finally (today) uploaded Economics in One Lesson in pdf. It's a much cleaner looking copy than the one I read...

Charles T., Apr 9, 2009, 9:55AM EDTThanks Steve. I hadn't heard of him until several years ago but the more I learn, the more I like. I do see why Europe, especially his own country has ignored him.
He does make a good icon though! -
Charles T., Jan 18, 2009, 4:22PM ESTYeah, will the responses to you and Micheal were pretty vapid except for that Sy guy...

Charles T., Jan 18, 2009, 2:41PM ESTLove this battle you are fighting with Bruce K, Wil B, and other assorted types in the "This Looks an Awful Lot like Depression" thread!
