Sowell BTT. Yes, it was The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire that sent me on my way too. It is simply an astonishing achievement. So was Russell's A History of Western Philosophy. One of Sowell's books helped a good deal as well: Knowledge and Decisions.

Definitely - Sowell's breakout book, 1979 or 1980. Still in print, and just superb.
