"Liberty and Society" Links, Lecture 1: "Economics in One Lesson"
Here are some articles, books, and videos that cover some of the things I will discuss in my "Economics in One Lesson" lecture on Saturday. A lot of these are links to articles I wrote, many of which were inspired by my experience teaching at a "Liberty and Society" seminar last year.
1. There's no such thing as free grilled chicken.
2. Trade Creates Wealth, even if you're a Superhero.
3. The Locavore's Dilemma: trade conserves wealth (NB: I think there's an uncorrected typo in this).
4. "The Market, God Bless it, Works."
5. But what about when the market, gosh darn it, fails?
6. Drugs are bad, mmmkay? Does this mean they should be illegal? What about other stuff, like guns, alcohol, and prostitution?
7. Thomas Sowell, A Conflict of Visions. Bryan Caplan's review of Sowell.
8. Ten Key Elements of Economics.
9. Steven Landsburg, The Armchair Economist and Fair Play.
10. Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson.
