To learn about Lee Kuan Yew, read this book.
I studied his life after listening to Charlie Munger's advice, which was right. There's no precedent in history, in any civilization, for what LKY did in Singapore.
Just picked up my copy of this delicious new book from @DrSamuelGregg, who may be the leading natural law advocate of free markets in the Western world today.
"The Modern Mercenary" by Sean McFate is a good, short book on the rise of the importance of the private military companies in our times - and on what it means for the states and their security.But the book could have been much better if not for the author's constant repetitions.
@TyKeynes Yes and too true. Here is my favorite passage from Mises, in which he explains that in reality their "Quantity Theory" of money doesn't work and we should still believe in it. These paragraphs are even worse in context:
I just finished Hudson's Killing the Host, after reading Mises' Human Action, Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, and Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State last year.
Hudson's book is better than all three combined. Austrian economics is a thousand-page handjob for landlords.

@ninadsheth@CEOBriefing Peter Sloterdijk remarked that if there is one political leader alive in the late 20th century to whom monuments will be built 100 years from now, it is Lee Kuan Yew
Marxistas brasileiros precisam urgentemente ler o livrinho:
"Ah, mas FHC era neoliberal e pipipipopopo e e..."
Calma, respira, leia isso daqui:

I recommend my students read Mark Fisher's late lectures on Lukács' History and Class Consciousness, especially those interested in identity politics and its relationship to Marxism. Judging by the topics, the papers being written for my course on the later Lukács promise to be extremely interesting.
