Have him read “The Road to Serfdom” by Hayek.

or “Vision of the Annointed: Self-congratulation as a basis for social policy” by Sowell.

*LOVE* that title!

Ditto on the books.
I suggest more of Sowell’s works, though.

Start with “Basic Economics”, “Applied Economics”, then “Conflict of Visions”, THEN “Vision of the Annointed”, followed by “Intellectuals” for the icing on the cake.
