10 Free Books for Understanding the Economy Today

If you want to learn how we have gotten to where we are today, then you've landed at the right spot. 

These books were some of the first books I ever read on economics. 

They were preceded only by "The Alpha Strategy" (My Most Visited Post! Free Download! A great book for today in these inflationary times), the Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism, The Gold Wars (free download), Economics in One Lesson (free download), Meltdown, End the Fed, and Crash Proof 1.0.

I gotta be honest. I read all the way up to Modern Money Mechanics and didn't finish the rest of the list. But even half the books below and the books above will give you a working economic knowledge for life. 

Any citizen will be an economically literate citizen even if he or she reads only half of these books.

These economics books are free for downloading. Read them in this order.

Video: How Come We're So Rich? | Gary North



Interesting thesis.

Economic historian Gary North proposes a thesis to answer the question of what happened that caused economic growth to compound in the 1800s.

He cites the work of Deirdre McCloskey and says that her thesis of a shift in rhetoric is wrong.

Rather, he believes a change in the vision of the future and the theological acceptance of prosperity was the key.
