Between grad school and my two jobs I can only stand for light reads and articles. I like the Politically Incorrect Guide books. I've read the Politically Incorrect Guide to American History, Capitalism and Americas Great Depression yet, I know these are reputable authors and thus trust their somewhat contrarian beliefs. Would anyone suggest any of the other Politically Incorrect Guide’s?

The PIG to the Constitution by Kevin R.C. Gutzman is pretty good.

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."

Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism.

I had always been impressed by the fact that there are a surprising number of individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and an equal number who do use their minds, but in an amazingly stupid way. - Carl Jung, Man and His Symbols

At this point I only have the PIG to American History, Capitalism, America's Great Depression, and the Constitution.  Mainly because the authors are ones I trust.

I've thought about getting the one on the Founding Fathers.

Not sure about the others, as I'm not certain of the authors and how good they are.  Am leary of the 'science based' ones, as I don't need non-science/anti-science pretending to be science.  Others I wonder that have a right-wing agenda.

I think, out of the PIG series, only the ones written by Woods, Murphy and Gutzman are reliable.
