Basic Economics

And you might do some little, some light weekend reading also.

Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics, you know.

Oh, yes.

A nice little bathroom reader, which I have read.

I don't remember who.

I want to assume it was one of my trading mentors, Jason Stapleton, called Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell.

And that book helped me understand things in a completely different way.

Right.

Um, here's a good one for you: "Scott, I'm trying to be a better libertarian.

Dave once suggested reading material for beginners: End the Fed, Human Action, and Sowell's Basic Economics.

Any other suggestions?" I know you got this one.

Yeah.

I, I love that.

Is that Basic Economics?

Yes.

[laughs] Yeah.

cowboy, author.

We haven't even talked about the books yet.

We're going to get to them here directly.

Ed Ashurst joining us from Cochise County, Arizona.

He's also an author.

I think the latest number is 17.

But before we talk about why you started writing books, You've been a ranch hand, foreman, manager your entire life.

Did you ever want to own one?

And it's so funny you mentioned that because I remember at one point someone had called in and said, hey, I'm looking for some books on just like learning economics.

And one of the books I recommended was Thomas Sowell's, I think the book is called Basic Economics.

And he's a right-wing economist, sort of like neoclassical.

And a bunch of people wrote in really angry.
