> super fond of Hazlett's One lesson book

yes! I recommend it often, even [especially?] to people who don't have the mental stomach for heavier books. The specific examples he lists are definitely dated, although the general message is universal, and honestly could be repeated just as well in domains outside of economics.

I like Bryan Caplan even when I disagree with him. Sowell is awesome and his influence is incredible. Such a great communicator. I am super fond of Hazlett's One lesson book though. It was the first book I read that opened Pandora's box for me on econ after some really bad experiences with college econ profs.

Funny enough I read it on Mike Roe's recommendation. Was working as the web guy for a grant funded vocational education program at the time and Roe hit me hard in my pre-libertarian days.
