Even UC Berkeley, not exactly known as being a libertarian stronghold used Economics in One Lesson when I went there. I wouldn't exactly throw it away just because you don't agree with it.
- nl 10y agoI think the parent poster is misremembering. Economics in One Lesson isn't by Thomas Sowell. Not sure it should be characterized as a libertarian textbook either - most would class it as coming from the school of classical economics. http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2005/04/economics_in_on.html http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2005/04/economics_in_on.html is worth reading.
- jnordwick 10y agoI can't believe that Delong actually approves (at least partially) of EiOL. I'm shocked! The libertarial, classical, and supply-side ideas can all be very close to each other but often come at them from different directions.
