pencil2Below, I have reprinted a wonderful story by Leonard E. Read. I believe this was first published in 1958 and is, surprisingly, still so relevant to today. If I were to suggest only one reading for a high school student pertaining to economics, it would be this piece. I hope all will enjoy it as much as I do…

    I am extremely concerned regarding the upcoming election. When I consider the trouble that is occuring in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Middle East (not to mention the economy) we certainly must have a strong leader. I’m convinced that Mr. Obama or any of the Republican candidates so far have the experience or skills necessary to get the job done the way it has to be done. Being president of this country is an exceptionally hard job. Do you think there is someone out there with the experience, skill, and moral courage to do the job?

    Where are the champions of free-market capitalism? Someone needs to remind us all that two great works were published in 1776, both representing game-changing advances in human freedom: The Declaration of Independence, authored by future American president, Thomas Jefferson, and "The Wealth of Nations" by Scottish economist Adam Smith. Both embrace the social wisdom of individual liberty; both extol the importance of personal responsibility.”
