My economics teacher let me borrow a book called "Eat the Rich" by PJ O'Rourke. It was funny as hell, and informative.

LOL half the retards on here wouldn't be able to comprehend the first page. I just finished a book of her essays... very dense writer.


I see a lot of Libertarian books... fitting, as between the covers is the only place it works. This world is full of liars and cheats - whoops, there goes your "system."

This world is full of liars and cheats so we should give unlimited power to a small group of people and trust that they will never abuse it!

Common Sense - thomas Payne
Righteous Dopefiend - Phillip Bourgois

I have a ton more, but those are the two on my desk right now.

Although I don't condone, I wonder what it would be like to read Mein Kampf

If you like Phil and Jeff's work after reading Dopefiend get his earlier book In Search of Respect. Good friends of mine, actually, and if you're curious about the methodology, I do similar work but in regards to prisoners and other ex-civilians.
