I was talking via email to Erin about a book I am reading, A Primer on Money, Banking, and Gold.  She told me about a book she wants to re-read titled Economics in One Lesson.  She googled the author (Henry Hazlitt) and got a hit on the Lew Rockwell site.  I think this might be the next book I either get from the library or buy.  I am glad our son, Jon, is taking a course (M
