I was introduced to economics by my mother who is a pretty independent thinker herself. She introduced me to the topic with Henry Hazlitt’s “Economics in 1 Lesson” and Fredrick Bastiat’s “The Law”. Previous to reading both of those books however, I had read Vick Lockman’s Biblical Economics in comics which shows that the Bible supports free market economics. My mother also introduced me to some of Richard Mayberry’s books like “Whatever happened to Penny Candy?” about money and “The clipper Ship strategy” which simplifies the Austrian theory of the business cycle. After that, I started reading Mises because some of his books were mentioned in the “further reading” at the back of Hazlitt’s book.

While I do love to read books on economic freedom and limited government , I don’t have nearly as much time to give to it as I would like. Certainly, I still consider myself a beginner in my quest to understand the way Human’s Act.
