๐ The Works and Days, Hesiod. Rothbard called him the first economist for his discussion of scarcity and description of the โgood warโ that is work.
-
๐ Republic and Laws, Plato. Not so much for the economic advice, but so you realize Plato is one of the original shitcoiners pushing a fiat token, and how much of the โother sideโ is influenced by his thought.
-
๐ Politics, Aristotle. An advanced economics treatise? Not really, but it helps you realize the foundational economic system was, still is, and will always be the household. Also, I love the insight that men are greedy because they forget the difference between money and wealth.
-
๐ De Moneta, Nicole Oresme. Control of the mint by princes is immoral.
-
๐ The Way to Wealth, Ben Franklin. Delightful aphorisms about the value of work and HODLing.
-
๐ A History of Money and Banking in the United States, Rothbard. That moment when you realize the Washington Administration in the 1790s was fighting about today's events. ๐ฌ
-
๐ The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith. What we erroneously call โcapitalismโ today is a joke compared to this.
-
๐ The Road to Serfdom, Friedrich Hayek. He's an honorary Bitcoiner for both predicting the current crisis and its only solution.
-
๐ Human Action, Mises. Practically a foundational text for us.
I could keep going to be honest, but I'm in a bit of a Taoist mood today so I'll leave off at 9.
Very good. You could add some stuff of Hans-Hermann Hoppe.
And I like that You've left the keynesian macro bs where it belongs: in the toilet

The Tao Te Ching is an annual revisit for me.
Plato and Aristotle are already checked off. Wealth of Nations is what I imagine as THE book on economics, but Human Action has 2 mentions now, so I might have to update that assumption.
Thank you!
