Thanks

I have begun to read MES (still in the intro parts), and have the Murphy's Study Guide. My question is, how does one best use the study guide? Should I read his guide on a chapter, then the chapter in MES, or read MES then read the part of the study guide?

I think the well-being of the people of society is a noble goal achievable via capitalism. Not necessarily everyone's material well being (not that its not important), but the well-being of not be afraid of the state, the well being of not being ashamed of individuality and success.

@Trulib Thanks a lot. I'm going to read MES (with the study guide) after I finish Intro. to Austrian Economics . I'm also listening to Rothbard's lecture series Economics 101 on my way to work. As far as ABCT goes, what should I be reading?

I have read some books by Milton Friedman, John Stossel, etc. I would say I have a pretty good understanding
