economics-readeredited by Jane A. Willimas & Kathryn Davis $22

This book is a recommended supplement to Whatever Happened to Penny Candy.  It contains articles originally published in The Freeman a journal published  by the Foundation for Economic Education. The editors have included excellent questions to assit your understanding and study of the contents.  Another very readable title by Bluestocking Press.  These books are pertinent for all people, not just Americans.

All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from the defects in thier constitution or confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation. – John Quincy Adams, 1829.

Property is the fruit of labour; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently to build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built. – Abraham Lincoln, 1809-1865

How to Lie With Statisitcs

how-to-lie-with-statisticsby Darell Huff $22

A best seller and recommended by Richard Maybury (author of the Uncle Eric series). The author runs the gamut of every popular used type of statistic, probes such things as the sample study, the tabulation method, the interview technique, or the way the results are derived from figures, and points up the countless number of dodges which are used to fool rather than to inform. A highly readable and excellent book.

Mr Huff’s lively, human interest treatment of the dry-as-bones subject of statistics is a timely tonic…This book needed to be written, and makes its points in an entertaining, highly readable manner.  – Management Review

A pleasantly subversive little book, guarnteed to undermine your faith in the almighty statistic. - Library Journal
