Freedom 101 by Madsen Pirie
Freedom 101 is a personal refutation by Madsen Pirie of many of the common errors of economic, political and social debate. He has selected 101 of these erroneous assumptions in order to show why they are not correct. 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".
This is a refreshing book, full of sharp insights to help readers clarify their own thoughts, and equip them to bring that clarity to aid the understanding of others in discussion and debate.
