The Communist Manifesto (Penguin Classics)
Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels
Penguin Classics, 2002
Please actually read Marx...
...and PLEASE read beyond the Manifesto! Ignore the anti-Marx ideologues who do not actually read him, and give him a shot. Forget, for a minute, all preconceived notions of communism, and take his writings as though they are fresh and brand new. Only then should you ...

The Conscience of a Liberal
Paul Krugman
W. W. Norton, 2007
Congratulations!
I merely wish to congratulate the Swedish committee-members on having the good sense to award the 2008 Nobel Prize for Economics to Paul Krugman. That's almost enough to redeem the Swedes for their egregious error of awarding a previous prize to Milton Friedman, whose ...

This should be required reading in our schools

Mein Kampf
Adolf Hitler
Educa Books, 2006
Very good ideas for his and maybe our time!
Well in the first part of Mein Kampf Hitler wrote mostly in prison so some things may be hard to put in perspective. His ideas were of very high standards for the white man and preserving heritage. This is not a book that some might have you think will lead to coercive ...

Capital: Volume 1: A Critique of Political Economy (Penguin Classics)
Karl Marx
Penguin Classics, 1992
please read the book before reviewing it!
Reading the "reviews" of Capital here on Amazon.com, a person who has read the book can see that most "reviewers" have not even troubled themselves read the book! Instead of taking the time and energy to plow through this work, many would rather get on a soap box and ...

A Young People's History of the United States, Vol. 1: Columbus to the Spanish-American War
Howard Zinn
Seven Stories Press, 2007
Great Work and Much Needed
As with all of Mr. Zinn's works, this series is clearly written and thorough. Mr. Zinn's writing is very readable, it is always reminiscent of his own pace and phrasing as he speaks. I had been hoping for something like this for a long time. I have given away quite a ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday, 2008
A Book for the Intellectually Honest Seeking Truth About American History
It is very unfortunate that people use the review process to attack a book which they are very unlikely to have read. It is always fascinating that the very same people who so often lecture to all of us about "tolerance" are the least so. It is particularly bothersome ...

The Road to Serfdom Fiftieth Anniversary Edition
F. A. Hayek
University Of Chicago Press, 1994
Brilliant prima facie case against socialism
Considering it my duty as an economics major, I took it upon myself to read this book, with little expectations as to its brilliance, and was completely swept away. Not only is Hayek extremely eloquent in articulating the case for free trade, he supports his arguments ...

Selections from the Prison Notebooks
Antonio Gramsci
International Publishers, 1971
One of the century's most important political works
Gramsci's Prison Notebooks marks one of the nodal points of Western Marxism's break with Leninism and the breed of marxism born of the Bolshevik Revolution. Exploratory and incomplete, the insights contained in this volume marked a turning point in marxist thinking, ...
