Great. Because I couldn't make Spanish recommendations if I wanted to!

Do you read LewRockwell.com? That's a good starting point. As are the Mises daily articles.

If you search the forum for "reading list" I am sure you will turn up dozens of posts on the subject.

My first language is Spanish, but I immigrated to the USofA when I was 6 from Colombia, hence I have a more profound knowledge of the English language-thank you though.

Yeah, I'm new here too. Don't have too much backround knowledge though; I'm only 13 and have only simple understanding of the Business Cycle Theory.

There is a ton of material to read, depending upon what you are interested in. Also, if Spanish is your first language, Rodrigo Diaz translates a lot of material on his Mises blog if you would prefer to read in Spanish instead of English.

Same as Richard. Lurked for a long time and finally signed up. Im a member of other forums ranging from automotive to science discussions. Enjoy good conversation and challenging discussions.

Im a economic and finance student, and supplement it with works from the Austrian School, by far the best economic and socially effective "way". I'm also a member of the Campaign for Liberty promoting Austrian scholar Ron Paul and other freedom loving individuals.

I look forward to speaking with everyone.

Welcome Richard!

I'm also new here. Signed up yesterday after years of trolling.

My Mises necktie is a prized possession but I'm probably in need of a new one as it's seen its better days.

You sound well versed. Contribute to some discussions. Write some articles and send them to Lew Rockwell.

Not sure what you are getting at with apolitical -- but if you're referring to anything involving emergent systems that do not involve organization or direction then I believe my readings of chaos/complexity theory prepped me in that regard. 'Anarchy' gets portrayed as a bad word.

One of the books I culled from Pound's massive syllabus was Godel-Escher-Bach. If that doesn't lay the groundwork for spontaneous order I'm not sure what will.

Did you cover apolitical theories?

Re: I'm new to Mises

Actually, I am fairly well-versed there. I minored in Political Theory under the late Dr. Daniel Pound at the University of Alabama. His courses were rather rigorous, both in terms of depth and breadth of reading material, and in the manner in which students went after each other for inconsistencies.

So at least in that regard, I am not entering into this community blinded by common veils of political thought. I do recognize the differences between theories and ideologies.

You need to know everything. Everyone here is all seeing, all knowing.

Seriously, be prepared to lose anything you know about political theory. It might not have much value here.

Welcome.
