For sheer poignance and quality of writing , tho not the heavy theory , I recommend again Max Eastmann . I've got to plug my friend over on Maiden Lane , Joel Turner http://undercoverbooks.com , who specializes in the literature of freedom . Incidentally , tho I find them despicable , and I really do , I must say the Clintons ended up being far less damaging to the economy , in fact good for it , by their reduction of the Government under their watch than the horrendous growth that has been going on under the Bush wackos .
