Why The Meltdown Should Have Surprised No One

I've been enjoying listening to Peter Schiff lately.  He's a very pro Free Market Economist.  I'm putting a couple of his lectures on here. This is the Henry Hazlitt Memorial Lecture, Austrian Scholars Conference, March 13, 2009.  I love his way of making things clear enough that even someone like me can understand him.  He also uses the best analogies and can be quite funny.  Go here: http://mises.org/daily/3493  for a transcript and a link to the speech in downloadable mp3 format.

Diary of a Former Communist

I just came across this free book, offered online.  Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be in a pdf format that can be downloaded, so it has to be read online, but some of you might find it interesting.  It's an autobiography based on the author's diary, which he kept from 1946-2004, and spans the countries of USSR, Poland, France, and the U.S.

All You Ever Wanted to Know About Economics

I just wanted to share a link to one of my favorite places to learn about Free Market Economics.  The Mises Institute has many, many resources to help us understand the seemingly incomprehensible world of economics.  They have videos, audios, articles and seminars about this complex topic, and the fun part is, their information is quite accessible and understandable.  If you are a homeschooler, and would like to provide economics classes for your high schooler, they have free recorded online seminars directed specifically to high schoolers, and even more specifically, to home schooled students.  Here's a link that will put you on the page to their introductory seminars, but don't stop here.  The site is full of great information.

I took an economics class in college, and I honestly can't even remember if I finished it, or dropped out.  I just remembered being bored to the point of screaming.  I probably dropped it. I only have so much tolerance.  Since I have started using the Von Mises Institute to study the subject, I can't seem to get enough.  The speakers are very often enjoyable and even humorous, if you can imagine that, and the information just rings true.
