Freedom 101, the recently published compilation of all 101 of Dr Madsen Pirie's Common Errors, is now available on Amazon for the bargain price of £4.79.
The book refutes many of the common errors of economic, political and social debate. Many of them are in daily circulation as if they were truisms. We are told that, 'the world is running out of scarce resources' or that, 'we should protect the poor by fixing the price of essential goods'. But as Madsen shows, some of these are based on errors of fact, some on false arguments, and many of them on a misunderstanding of how economics works. The book is designed to help readers clarify their own thoughts and equip them to bring that same clarity to aid the understanding of others in discussion and debate.
