Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the Mises online community. I am not however, new to the ideas of Austrian economics. I am currently reading End the Fed-by Ron Paul and then moving on to Road to Serfdom-by  Friedrich A. Hayek. I would love to hear about your favorite books or suggestions.

First!

Ok, I don't have any particularly creative suggestions, but I always suggest either Man, Economy, and State or Human Action, depending on your tastes.  My own interests run in particular directions, so I enjoy Butler Shaeffer and Israel Kirzner, but that's just me.  What are your other interests besides liberty and Austrian thought?  WIth that information, it's sometimes easier to make suggestions.

Right now I am currently interested in Walter Block for two reasons. I like his work on the privatization of roads and highways and also his ideas on the economic incentives of organ donation. Any ideas or suggestions you can give me on those two subjects would be greatly appreciated.

Prices and Production and Other Works by Hayek. It's usually over-looked by Austrians without Phd's.

"If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion."

Here is Defending the Undefendable by Walter Block: http://mises.org/books/defending.pdf

To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.
Rabbi Lapin: "Let's make bricks!"
Stephan Kinsella: "Say you and I both want to make a German chocolate cake."
