Two other books also do a GREAT job of explaining things....
First book: The Character of Nations, by Angelo Codevilla. Excellent analysis of why private property AND “Rule of Law” is critical for a nation to grow and prosper.
Second book: The Noblest Triumph; Property and Prosperity Through the Ages, by Tom Bethell.
Read them both ...and you will be smarter. Get your liberal friends to read them, and either their heads will explode or they might become more conservative!
