A Libertarian Syllabus (Daniel McCarthy)

Daniel McCarthy provides a nice reading list for those who want to learn about libertarianism:

A friend of mine who is involved in youth politics asked me to put together a curriculum for Ron Paul libertarians, a four-year course of study that will take students from the basics of free-market economics and the Constitution into the deeper waters where theory, history, and policy meet. Here’s the tentative curriculum I’ve come up with:

Year 1:

• Ron Paul – The Revolution: A Manifesto


• Barry Goldwater – The Conscience of a Conservative


• Tom Paine – “Common Sense,” “The Crisis”


• The Federalist (selections)


• The Anti-Federalist Papers (selections)


• The Constitution of the United States of America


• Douglas Hyde – Dedication and Leadership


• Henry Hazlitt – Economics in One Lesson


• Murray Rothbard – What Has Government Done to Our Money?
