[Tired of Taxes]

Young people really do need to be given more books that affirm the principles of capitalism. But, imho, ten would be too young for reading “Atlas Shrugged”. There are some graphic descriptions of sex in the novel, and the story suggests sleeping with one partner after another is OK. That’s the main reason why I won’t even let our 13yo read it.

What book would be appropriate, though, I wonder? Some of us are giving our children books like, “What Ever Happened to Penny Candy?” which explains economics in an easy-to-understand way. But, what kind of novels out there for young people celebrate capitalism...? Just wondering if anyone knows.

Never read it, but decades ago, The Incredible Bread Machine by Susan Love Brown and others, was very popular. It was based loosely on a poem by R.W. Grant entitled 'Tom Smith and His Incredible Bread Machine'.

Rand liked Calumet K, which is available for free on line.
