Whoa, thanks for the tip. Anatomy of the State sounds really good.

I'm not sure our preferences in literature overlap but If you want a couple recommendations anyway I'll give you mine.

1) The Holy Bible. I cant say I've read it cover to cover but I'm almost there and probably worth doing at least once in your life.

2) Autobiography of a Yogi - Paramhansa Yogananda.

I had a more spiritual focus for most of my life and very little economic focus but now that I am reading a little more in that genre I am pleasantly surprised to find some universal truths apply in all aspects of life.

I think I'll skip the third, nothing else really stands out to me.
