I just finished up reading a book by Russell Roberts titled The Choice, which is a short (110 page) fable that touts the virtues of trade, comparative advantage, growth, innovation, and standard of living increases. Russell breaks things down into an easily understood lesson through a decent little story. Although it might be a pretty challenging read for someone like you, Willie.
