I'll have to check it out!
The book I’m asking if you’ve read yet you’re posing with it here in this picture you’ve posted.
Oh duh! Sorry, I looked at the book on his cover page when I clicked on the link to his page about economics, and I haven't read that one.

The Fiat Standard also will give you a very good perspective on human behavior.
Biggest takeaway: people are evil and corrupt every system through greed. Bitcoin is a perfect system to combat that inflational greed; however, coming from the world of politics, what people can't control, they'll regulate into submission. My goal in this space is to make sure they don't.
I too used to be very much involved in my local politics. I thought I could “make change” and provide better solutions for the people who were seemingly getting crushed by the government.
My perspective has done a 180. Learning about Bitcoin is an education about how money works, among other things. That leads you down the rabbit hole of understanding incentives and why humans behave the way they do. My goal now is more educational in nature. Once individuals get educated their world view changes and their behavior changes soon thereafter.
Educating young people is a critical part of what will impact entire societies.
Absolutely!
