Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest & Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics

Wrote a review for

Lots of economic wisdom packed into just over 200 pages. A lot of this was already familiar from reading similar works but the section on unions, striking, and strikebreakers was new to me, and very interesting too. The fact that this book was originally published in the 1940s (then revisited by the author in the 1970s) yet the lessons still ring true today suggests that they are timeless, and that this will still be a book worth reading for many years to come.

Against Intellectual Property

Wrote a review for

An interesting read, although I am not sure if I am totally sold on the author's assertions. It was certainly worth the short time it took to read this book as it raised some deep questions about how we structure patent and copyright laws.

The Little Bitcoin Book

Wrote a review for

A good refresher on what Bitcoin is and why it matters. I cannot say that the book had any new points for me but it was still a worthwhile short read and would be a great introduction to Bitcoin for anyone who is curious enough to read about the subject but does not want to commit to a longer book such as The Bitcoin Standard.

Check Your Financial Privilege

Wrote a review for

An eye-opening exploration of how Bitcoin is being used around the world to resist financial oppression. I found the chapter on the CFA franc particularly disturbing as I had never come across it before. I would recommend this to anyone who currently thinks that Bitcoin is unnecessary and a frivolous waste of energy.
