Austrian Economic Resources
Submitted by KatieinVT on Thu, 11/20/2008 - 21:11
Anyone have any good recommendations on resources for studying Austrian economics? I am currently taking a Keynesian macroeconomic course (requirement for B.S. Business degree).
My hope is to do a self-study of Austrian economics during Christmas break. That way, I should know how to refute, what even my un-trained mind sees as, obvious flaws in Keynesian thinking. (Bailout is good??? Though, the professor seems to think an automaker bailout would not? What's the difference?)
I don't have the time to spend on books like Human Action by Ludwig von Mises. I have a large reading list and little time and want to get the basic picture. If I have time down the road, then I might go more in-depth.

I'm a traditionalist
I'm a traditionalist when it comes to books. :) I tend to have spare time waiting at Doctor's appointments and the like, so having an actual book is what I need. (I've gotten some strange looks after people ask me what I'm reading and then "is it for a class?", when I answer it's pleasure reading.)
I'm thinking about purchasing the following:
Economics in One Lesson - Henry Hazlitt
Essentials of Economics - Faustino Ballve
An Introduction to Economic Reasoning - David Gordon
