Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell

Economics In One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

Real Name: Andrew Banks
Description: I am from a large family. I recall reading a passage from Ayn Rand in a early IQ or standardized reading comprehension test. I read it several times to arrive at the correct answer. I must have made an impact because I can recall it clearly decades later. I was introduced to Rand and Objectivism when I was working as a Financial Consultant. The ideas allowed me to better understand the irrational world and the many irrational inhabitants we share it with.
