I'm lecturing at an Institute for Humane Studies "Exploring Liberty" seminar this week. Here's a trailhead for a bunch of links related to the issues we're discussing.

There are a lot of resources available for my "Economics in One Lesson" talk. Some links to a few things I've written on these issues are available here. An older version of Henry Hazlitt's book Economics in One Lesson can be downloaded here, an abridged audiobook version of it can be found here, and here's a series of interviews with economists (and a historian) on the book's chapters. The Reader's Digest condensation of F.A. Hayek's The Road to Serfdom is available here. An early draft of Deirdre McCloskey's The Bourgeois Virtues is available here. We also discussed the cases for and against drug legalization; my argument and sources are here.

On the limits to growth and environmental economics, Julian Simon is essential. Most of what I know about the economics of scarce resources (like water) I learn from reading David Zetland's blog. Most of what I know about development economics I learn from reading William Easterly's blog.

For the Walmart talk, here's my article summarizing what we know about Walmart, and here's audio of a lecture I gave at St. Lawrence University on Walmart.

Here's a handful of links to resources on immigration, and here's my paper "Can't Buy Me Growth: On Foreign Aid and Economic Change." A short version of Bryan Caplan's excellent book The Myth of the Rational Voter was published by the Cato Institute and is available here (he discusses "anti-foreign bias" in particular).

We're pretty enthusiastic about free markets not because we think they will always produce perfect outcomes, but because the alternatives are almost universally worse. In this lecture, I address some of the Common Objections to Capitalism.
