[The letter writer had been] a member of a Communist front student organization at University of the Philippines, but was so impressed with my critique of Marx that he typed the entire chapter into an email and sent it to all his Marxist friends and sociology professor. As a result, they all abandoned Marxism in favor of free-market economics, including his professor.

WOW! I'd never before heard of a book turning so many people around just like that!

I've always liked what Skousen writes, but I've also found him to be rather self-promoting in the media (a rather odd habit for an economist!).

Thanks for the ping.

I just started Thomas Sowell's "Applied Economics - Thinking Beyond Stage One". I will pick up Skousen's book next.

Wow. Any relation to W. Cleon Skousen?
