Hans - Hermann
Hoppe is an
Austrian - school economist and leading libertarian philosopher
and
Professor of Economics at UNLV (Nevada), He is
the author of several widely - discussed books and articles in
defense of libertarian rights, based on the ethics theories of
philosophers
Jürgen Habermas and Karl - Otto Apel. Hoppe
analyzed the behavior of
government and defines government as
"a territorial monopolist of jurisdiction and taxation". Assuming
self - interest on the Part of government officials, he
concludes that these government officials use their monopoly
privileges to maximize their own wealth and power. Hoppe
provides historical data proving his
theoretical
assumptions.

 Speaking
of Liberty
By Lew
Rockwell
founder
& president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute
Speaking
of Liberty is a collection of speeches delivered by Rockwell
over a period of ten years. The book explains why Austrian economics
matters, how the Federal
Reserve brings
on the business cycle, why we need private property and free
enterprise, the unrecognized glories of the free market economy with
"price" as an informative guide for both consumers and investors, and
the gold
standard as the best monetary system. Other sections
deal with war, Mises and other important thinkers, and the culture and
morality of liberty. Written in clear prose to reach a
broad audience, Rockwell's
new book is as pro - liberty as it is critical of government. It
is
rigorous enough to withstand the enemy's closest scrutiny, and
chock full of the energy and enthusiasm that will keep you reading.
The book is united by a set of fixed principles: the corruption of
politics, the universality and immutability of the ideas of freedom,
the centrality of sound money and free enterprise, the moral imperative
of peace and trade, the importance of hope and tenacity in the struggle
for liberty, and the need for everyone to join the intellectual
fight. .

What
Has Government
Done to Our Money?
by
Murray
Rothbard
After
presenting the
basics of money and banking theory, Rothbard traces the decline of the
dollar from the 18th century to the present, and provides lucid
critiques of central banking, New Deal monetary policy, Nixonian fiat
money, and fixed exchange rates. He also provides a blueprint for a
return to a 100 percent reserve gold standard. The book made huge
theoretical advances. He was the first to prove that the government,
and only the government, can destroy money on a mass scale, and he
showed exactly how they go about this dirty deed.
But just as
importantly, it is beautifully written. He tells a thrilling story
because he loves the subject so much. The passion that Murray feels for
the topic comes through in the prose and transfers to the reader.
Readers become excited about the subject, and tell others.
Rothbard
shows precisely how banks create money out of thin air and how the
central bank, backed by government power,
allows them to get away with
it. He shows how exchange rates and interest rates would work in a true
free market. When it comes to describing the end of the gold standard,
he is not content to describe the big trends. He names names and
ferrets out all the interest groups involved

The Law
by
Frederic Bastiat
The Law is one of
the
most important books ever written on the uses and abuses of law. While
short, The Law has proven itself time and time again to be life
changing to those who read it. In The Law, Bastiat states that
"each of us has a natural right — from God — to defend his person, his
liberty, and his property". The State is a "substitution of a common
force for individual forces" to defend this right. The law becomes
perverted when it punishes one's right to self - defense in favor
of
another's acquired right to plunder.
Bastiat defines two forms of plunder:
"stupid
greed and false philanthropy". Stupid greed is "protective tariffs,
subsidies, guaranteed profits" and false philanthropy is "guaranteed
jobs, relief and welfare schemes, public education, progressive
taxation, free credit, and public works". Monopolism and Socialism are
legalized plunder which Bastiat emphasizes is legal but not
legitimate. ( http://www.freeaudio.org

Principles of Economics is a leading economics textbook by Alfred
Marshall (1842-1924). Marshall began writing the treatise in 1881 and
he spent much of the next decade at work on it. His plan for the work
gradually extended to a two-volume compilation on the whole of economic
thought; the first volume was published in 1890 to worldwide acclaim
that established him as one of the leading economists of his time. It
brought the ideas of supply and demand, of marginal utility and of the
costs of production into a coherent whole, and became the dominant
economic textbook in England for a long period.
(Wikipedia). This first introductory book gives the
author’s overview of the field of economics. The recording is based on
the eighth edition, published in 1920.

George
Orwell's 1984
George
Orwell's classic was
incredibly visionary. It is hardly fathomable that this book was
written in 1948. Things that we take for granted today -
cameras
everywhere we go, phones being tapped, bodies being scanned for weapons
remotely - all of these things were described in graphic
detail in
Orwell's book.
Now
that we have the Internet and people spying on other people w/ webcams
and people purposely setting up their own webcams to let others
"anonymously" watch them, you can see how this culture can develop into
the Orwellian future described in "1984."
If
you've heard such phrases as "Big Brother," "Newspeak," and "thought
crime" and wondered where these phrases came from, they came from this
incredible, vivid and disturbing book.
Winston
Smith, the main character of the book is a vibrant, thinking man hiding
within the plain mindless behavior he has to go through each day to not
be considered a thought criminal. Everything is politically correct,
children defy their parents (and are encouraged by the government to do
so) and everyone pays constant allegiance to "Big Brother" -
the
government that watches everyone and knows what everyone is doing at
all times - watching you shower, watching you having sex,
watching you
eat, watching you go to the bathroom and ultimately watching you die.

Economics
in One Lesson by Henry Hazlit
This primer on economic principles brilliantly analyzes the seen and
unseen consequences of political and economic actions. In the words of
F.A. Hayek, there is "no other modern book from which the intelligent
layman can learn so much about the basic truths of economics in so
short a time."

 The
single greatest
danger to human life is the
centralized political State,
who extinguished more than 170
million souls
during the last century, the
bloodiest rampage in recorded history. Modern
States are the last and
greatest remaining predators. The danger has not abated with the
demise
of communism and fascism. All Western democracies currently face vast
and accelerating escalations of State power and centralized control
over economic and civic life. In almost all Western democracies, the
State chooses how
children are educated, the
interest rate
citizens can
borrow at, the value of currency, how employees
can be hired and fired,
how more than 50% of their citizens’ time and
money are disposed, when
to go to war, who can live in the country, where we can build our
houses etc...Most of these intrusions into personal liberty have
occurred over the past 90 years. States are parasites which always
expand until they destroy their host population. Most people are
comfortable with the idea of reducing the size
and power of the State. Most
become uncomfortable with the idea of getting rid of it (almost)
completely. It
can be done and
make us all hapier and wealthier and
spontanuoaus order will replace
the planned chaos. read

 Alan Watt, Canadian
author and historian, describes in this fascinating series how
authorities use increasingly intrusive legislation to progressively
invade our privacy and undermine our civil liberties. He sees this
process as Part of a systematic and global conspiracy by the
political
and financial elites to establish global governance and a new world
order. He shows that the fiat monetary system, CO2 restrictions, the
global warming scam,
urbanism, indoctrination in state schools, ecologism, invasive
security measures etc... are all Part s of a consistent master
plan to undermine civil liberties and to transform our democratic
societies into a police state under
which all civil liberties will be gone. He warns the sheeple for a
totally
controlled society where every individual will have a chip implant and
will be living as serfs under the feudal powers of the new world order
elites.

Liberty
Radio Underground
Radio
Liberty Underground explores libertarian philosophy. Your
host, Citizen X, discusses important issues and problems facing the
Western world and explains that the solution to many of these problems
lies in returning to the libertarian roots that made us a shining
beacon of liberty and freedom to the world.
The Western world is
being
destroyed from within by out of control, unaccountable government at
all levels; an establishment media that is supposed to be the
government's watchdog, but has become the government's lapdog; and,
sadly, the apathy of the people. It's time to wake up.

Underground is the alarm clock !

The
Great Depression & New Deal
Why
Politicians keep on repeating the same Keynesian Mistakes
No economic
myth
these days is more pernicious than the myth that the free market caused
the Great Depression and the New Deal got us out of it. That, as
economist Robert P. Murphy points out is flat - out false. In The
Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal he
provides irrefutable evidence that not only did government interference
with the market cause the Great Depression (and our current economic
collapse), but Herbert Hoover’s and Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s big
government policies afterwards made it much longer and much worse (just
as President Barack Obama’s extraordinary expansion of government
promises to do today). Perhaps even more compelling, Murphy exposes the
untold story behind the New Deal—how it operated by force, and why
what’s really at stake is not only our economy but our liberty. The
real “lessons of the Great Depression” are not what you’ve been taught.

Human Rights
A book in
search for
the balance between environmental concerns and the
human right on devellopment. The book unveils the real story behind the
politicized birth, the
oppressive tactics, and the harsh impact of modern environmentalism.
The book chronicles numerous real - life cases of how enforcement
of the
Endangered Species Act by federal regulatory bureaucrats and powerful
environmentalist organizations has led to many human deaths, has
destroyed thousands of livelihoods and businesses, and has confiscated
untold acres of private property trampling the constitutional rights of
the owners.

Armageddon
Protecting
Your
Future From Your Impending Catastrophes" BY Michael Panzner
When the
stock market
bubble burst in 2000, the collapse that followed
wiped out nearly two - thirds of the value of the NASDAQ index,
and
decimated the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans. Now, imagine
not one, but four such disasters looming on the horizon – all of them
poised to erupt in a massive economic firestorm that will wreak
widespread havoc in the months and years to come. Joining me on the
program is Michael Panzner. He has written a new book called Financial
Armageddon: Protecting Your Future From Four Impending Catastrophes.

The
Second
Great Depression.
This is a
frightening
book. It
shows how massive consumer debt will trigger the next depression,
starting about the year 2007. Most of the logic used to support this
premise is based on the government's own published data. The exuberance
resulting from the overheated stock market of the 90s caused consumers
to stop saving and go into debt. Then, the dramatic drop in mortgage
rates enabled people to refinance their homes and go even further into
debt. People are no longer living on what they can afford; instead they
are living the lifestyle they think they deserve, costs be
damned! With interest rates
increasing, savings rates near zero, and debt at its maximum; many
people will be pushed over their debt limit, having homes foreclosed by
the banks or going into bankruptcy. Others will heed the warnings and
reduce spending, causing a dramatic slowing of the
economy.

America's
Financial
Reckoning Day
by Charles H.Coppes
Is
the U.S.
heading for fiscal
bankruptcy? It is according to David Walker, Comptroller General for
the Government Accounting Office in a recent interview on CBS 60
Minutes (7/8/07). "I would argue that the most serious threat to
the
United States is not someone hiding in a cave in Afghanistan or
Pakistan, but our own fiscal irresponsibility,” says Walker. “We suffer
from a fiscal cancer. And if we do not treat it, it could have
catastrophic consequences for our country.” Not only could our
fiscal irresponsibility have catastrophic consequences for our country
– there is a growing consensus among Wall Street economist and analysts
that we are indeed facing a financial reckoning day. For the baby
- boom
generation this is a serious wake - up call that domestic and
foreign
issues are converging to script the perfect financial storm –
everything from asset bubbles, trade deficits, unfunded liabilities and
derivatives exposure to an eventual bond liquidation, currency collapse
and hyperinflation. With sobering and exacting detail, this book
presents a clear case for America’s geopolitical obsolescence and the
rise of the European Union as a superpower along with China’s economic
future, the politics of oil, and the prophetic implications of war in
the Middle East.
