I note none of these books are written by freedom advocates. Therefore I offer:
"End The Fed" by Ron Paul
"The Road To Serfdom" by F.A. Hayek
"The Law" by Frederic Bastiat
"Capitalism and Freedom" by Milton Friedman
"For A New Liberty" by Murray Rothbard
This site is a great source of important information! Do you mind if I make a trackback of one of your blog entries on my domain?
