A pastor friend asked me about a good starter book on economics from a classical liberal point of view. The first two are available on line thanks to the Liberty Fund’s Online Library of Liberty and their Library of Economics and Liberty.
- Frederic Bastiat: What is Seen and What Is Not Seen
- Frederic Bastiat: The Law, Russell translation: Library of Economics and Liberty
- Henry Hazlitt: Economics in One Lesson: 50th Anniversary Edition.
These are all fast reads. The Hazlitt helped form my thinking on the subject.
