“I’ll give those a shot, but I have a recommendation...”
I agree completely. “Basic Economics” and “Economic Facts and Fallacies” are both masterpieces of straight talking.
I also recommend an earlier and more difficult (i.e., theoretical) work by Sowell entitled “Knowledge and Decisions.”
Currently re-reading “Conflict of Visions” - after my own personal study of worldviews.
Getting a lot more out of it the second time through.
