The Writing guides look good but I wouldn't trust anything calling itself "Essential" coming from the FEE group or similar think tank organizations.

Quote from Slacky :
Many kinds of freedom. Freedom of banks to gamble with our money, privatize the profits and socialize the losses- no thanks. Freedom to critique what they are up to and fight to protect society- absolutely.
Book 16-- How not to Roll back Dodd Frank, the book.

The hostility towards enlightenment thinkers is profoundly disturbing. Strongly recommended reading first hand, although if opposed to these authors you'll probably be quite comfortable regurgitating the opinions of others.

Thanks for the post. If one can really study these books, they will know why many things sound so beautiful are really wrong, or evil.

Quote from crinttae :
Different jobs. The economists make the rules (dont dump toxic waste into the river) and the businessmen follow them (or not).
Economists never make the rules, they can advise, and that's it. Politicians make rules. Economists suppose to research laws of economy and society they live in but these eCONomists chose to defends 19th century system, outdated one. Fairly consistently failing to predict economic downturns and depressions. .

Quote from penguins227 :
This is exactly what a person would say who's never experienced what it's like to have freedom taken from them.
Poor people who have no right to get decent paying job in the society they contribute to will never become free. Guess why capitalism replaced slavery and feudalism. Slaves and servants never fought for it.. Owners of capital paid for those wars. Because it is cheaper for them to use employees...

One of the first scholars who put forth this relationship was Trinidad-born Oliver Cromwell Cox who got a degree in economics from (set your irony meters to maximum) Milton's the University of Chicago in 1932 and his PhD in sociology from Chicago in 1938. Why sociology? As he wrote: "I felt that if the economists did not explain what I wanted to know; if economists did not explain the coming of the Depression and did not help me to understand the great economic change, then I felt I did not need it."

Still costs too much at that price along with Milton "manufacturing libertarian policy for billionaire marketing and bears in NH" Friedman.

Say what you want about Austrian economic tradition, the fact that the makers of this series are so careful to avoid coming across as being firmly from that tradition's perspective goes to show they're trying to pray on naivete. if you saw an audiobook series from a Marxist economics perspective, whose bookcovers and ad copy portrayed as itself as "the essential yada yada" like it's a neutral college lecture on classic literature or something, you would know something's fishy.
