My Next Book…
Hello everyone,
This is a discussion to ask for suggestions on my next book to read 🙂
To give you a context, I’m a Computer Engineer with an MBA at a FIAT school (yes…35k euro in 2012 not invested in BTC). I’m 41 y.o, dad of 2.
I have a corporate job in a Sales role, so not Technical actually.
However, there is a nerd nature in me, and I went deep on Bitcoin. I’ve studied and I’m continuing to study everything I can, from Developers book to monetary and Economics book.
A few months ago I’ve read the Bitcoin standard and fell in Love with Saifedean and Austrian economics.
I’ve read everything from Saifedean and done the classes as well.
Now, I know what to do / read on the tech side, but I need some suggestions on the Economics part.
So far, I’ve read:
- All Saifedean (including the ongoing work)
- Economics in One Lesson (twice)
- Lessons for the Young Economist by Robert Murphy
- Deflation and Liberty
- What has government done to our money
Now, I would like to pick my nextone…mises.org has so many. I’ve started a couple of times Man, Economy, and State but I am a bit intimidated by the 1000 pages. I’m on the second chapter, and sometimes for as much as I love it, it gets boring (especially as I leave these lectures for bed times).
I left it and then went back.
I found a simplified version from Bob Murphy which I’m tempted to, I’ve started the first 2 chapters and it feels too dry and scholastic…
So, If it’s needed to keep going, I will, but if there’s something else more modern and more fun I’d be happy to hear from you!
Thanks a lot
Claudio

Hello Claudio!
I have been reading the shorter pieces from Rothbard on the Mises institute website. Essays and extracts from his books. There are hundreds and a lot of them are perfect for bedtime reading.
