Ayn Rand, “Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal”. A collection of short non-fiction essays by Rand and a few others. It functions like a Cliff Notes primer for understanding her political philosophy without having to wade through hundreds of pages of tedious monologues in her novels.

David Horowitz, “The Politics of Bad Faith”. It’s basically a condensed version of his autobiography “Radical Son” with less bio info and more explication of how the mind and soul of the Left works. Incredibly powerful stuff.

Anything Thomas Sowell. I especially liked “The Quest for Cosmic Justice” which I haven’t seen mentioned in this thread.

Anything by Thomas Sowell but his Basic Economics book should be in every high school.

I felt really good after reading each of those books the first time and the twenty-fifth time when I was in the first grade.
