I have very limited academic background and Time and Money was the first book about the Austrian Business Cycle that I read. In my opinion it is very easy (jättelätt) to follow especially because it is written mainly as a textbook for students. It is far easier and simplier than works written about the same subject by Jesus Huerta de Soto and Mark Skousen for example.

Watch Garrison's lecture from MU09. If you like what you see, buy the book:

I have read a few articles, a few books on economics. Not very much. I have no formal education really.

I thank you all for your help!

It is highly recommended, although I would consider a more comprehensive Austrian text, such as MES, beforehand.
