Said every deep introvert, ever. It&#039;s our perpetual complaint.

Liberal Fascism was an outstanding book, I remember going through it and wondering why the hell no one had ever taught me any of that stuff in school. That&#039;s about the point where I realised that most of what I had been taught in school outside of the hard sciences and mathematics was completely useless.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the list. That is a fair amount of reading; especially, when I combine that with a stack of 26 books I have already accumulated (buying books is an addiction).

Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg is a great read. The book is a polemic attack on the Progressives and Leftists, which is how I like it. (Goldberg&#039;s other book The Tyranny of Clichés is also worth a read, imo.) The only problem with the book is that people will disregard the book&#039;s central argument, because of the person who authored it.

I am halfway through Antifragile - due to Vox Day&#039;s recommendation - and I am finding it quite enjoyable and agreeable.

Too many books; too little time.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hey welcome back.

You know what&#039;s funny? Taleb&#039;s been on my reading list for literally years, but I&#039;ve never gotten around to reading him, even though I agree with like 90% of what he says in public. I&#039;ve got Antifragile, The Black Swan, and Fooled by Randomness in my to-read list right now, I&#039;ll be posting reviews of them as I get through them.

Another great book on a similar subject is A Demon of Our Own Design by Richard Bookstaber. Great book, addresses similar questions and ideas as Antifragile does.

I happen to work in the finance industry, so let&#039;s just say that the conclusions that these books come to are VERY relevant right now- and of course no one is paying attention to them...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ll add a few more. 

Debunking Economics by Steve Keen which essentially tears apart the neoclassical shit bit by bit.

Antifragile/Black Swan by Taleb. Taleb isn&#039;t austrian per sae, but he admires them and is a critic of the bullshit math used in economics, such as the methods of assessing risk in Basle II, fucken banks having losses 6 standard devs above the norm. Basically, shitty econometrics models.

An Austrian Perspective on the history of economic thought. The Road to Serfdom is also great. Some good books here, a lot added to the reading list en aw.]]></description>
