Reading Week 2

I'm sorry I did not post this sooner (though you have the syllabus).
For this week's class you should have:
1. Re-read Chapter 2, of the Hirshleifer text, and started Chapter 3.
2. Read R.A. Radford's The Economic Organization of a POW Camp. This is a very important reading!!!!
3. Reading #18 from the BBG reader is long and a little complex. You may want to read this a few times over the next several weeks, since it will make more sense each time.
4. The Puzzling Questions of Vital Concern... is the first chapter from Henry Grady Weaver's The Mainspring of Human Progress. This book was one of a small handful which motivated me to pursue Economics. It is recommended, but not required.
5. You may skip the BBG reading #14. I have just looked at it again and there's too much religious language.

Reading Week 1

Class, please remember the reading assignment.
1. Chapters 1 and 2 of the Hirshleifer and Hirshleifer text.
2. "I, Pencil" by Leonard Read from the Rustici, Snow, Milton anthology.
3. Readings 1, 3, 19, 49 from the Free Market Reader.
4. The syllabus also mentions "Wanted, An Unpractical Man" which was the basis for my presentation at the beginning of class. This is taken from chapter 2 of "What's Wrong With the World" by G.K. Chesterton, available at Gutenburg online for free.
