Historia
The school choice revolution is here, and moms and dads are successfully restoring parental rights in education. Dr. Corey A. DeAngelis—public enemy #1 of the teachers' unions—tells this inspiring story like no one else can. As America’s most prominent and influential advocate of school choice, DeAngelis exposes the hypocritical elites who are content to hold other people’s children captive to poorly run government schools while sending their own children to the best private and charter schools out there.

An activists account of school choice movement
Revisado: 06-06-24
Many good points and interesting to hear from someone deeply involved. It is not very introspective or thoughtful, more rooting for the team.

Best economica book ever!

Though in the 1970s this is an excellent assessment of the 2020s. There is nothing like the clear thinking of the Friedman's cut through our current economic situation.

Historia
Everything, well, almost everything, you know about American history is wrong because most textbooks and popular history books are written by left-wing academic historians who treat their biases as fact. But fear not; Professor Thomas Woods refutes the popular myths in The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.

Historia
Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans - predictable, error-prone individuals. Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth - and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world.

Good, but to many names.

Good, but he talks too much about scientist rather than science. I don't need to know what you and some other scietists had to drink. However, there are a lot of fun srudies.

The Long Game is the candid, behind-the-scenes memoir of a man famous for his discretion. He tells how his mother helped him beat polio by leading him through long, aching exercises every day for two years. He explains how his father taught him the importance of standing up to bullies, even if it meant taking the occasional punch. And he reveals what he really thinks about the rivalry between the Senate and the House.

As a young conservative I found this informative as it provides for me what is a historical perspective. More bio than political manafesto, though some opinion does make it in. Would reccomend.

Historia
In this must-listen book for anyone striving to succeed, pioneering psychologist Angela Duckworth shows parents, educators, students, and businesspeople - both seasoned and new - that the secret to outstanding achievement is not talent but a focused persistence called "grit". Why do some people succeed and others fail? Sharing new insights from her landmark research on grit, MacArthur "genius" Angela Duckworth explains why talent is hardly a guarantor of success.

Didnt finish, guess i dont have grit
Revisado: 05-12-20
one idea per book isnt interesting enough for me. The basic idea is that grit (ie dedication) is more impratant thsn talent. Now you know so you dont need to read it.

Bunch of facts without making a coherent arguement. His thesis may be correct but he's not that convincing. And yes, we all know about moose's law.

Historia
Ben Shapiro uncovers the simple strategy used by liberals and their friends in the media: bully the living hell out of conservatives. Play the race card, the class card, the sexism card. Use any and every means at your disposal to demonize your opposition - to shut them up. Then pretend that such bullying is justified because, after all, conservatives are the true bullies and need to be taught a lesson for their intolerance.

Historia
Despite being immensely popular - and immensely lucrative - education is grossly overrated. In this explosive book, Bryan Caplan argues that the primary function of education is not to enhance students' skill but to certify their intelligence, work ethic, and conformity - in other words, to signal the qualities of a good employee.
