i DID post a list shortly thereafter...anyway, Mike's list was basically included in mine as well.

add to that 'The Great Crash' by John K. Galbraith (an excellent review of the events surrounding the '29 debacle), and for economic fundamentals (Austrian theory) the main works by Ludwig von Mises ('Human Action: A Treatise on Economics' and 'The Theory of Money and Credit') as well as Murray Rothbard's 'Man, Economy and State'. if you get those you'll read for a while anyway...if you make it through the approximately 900 pages of Rothbard's tome, you can also look for his books 'The Ethics of Liberty', 'The case against the Fed' (ho ho ho...that one is SURE to produce some sleepless nights...) and 'America's Great Depression' a refutation of the popular myths about this period (current 'mainstream' economic thought propagates these false myths about the period that are largely the result of Friedman's work in the 60's...the monetarist fairy tale, which has just been revealed as such in Japan over the past decade. btw, Japan also left egg on Keynesian faces, in spades. the Austrian solution hasn't been tried yet, it's too radical presumably).

note these dudes are heavy on the side of individual liberties and the free market...truly refreshing. their disdain of government in general, and socialism in particular are a breeze of fresh air compared to our sound-bite poisoned big brother society reality...if ever a totalitarian regime comes to power in the West, these books will be right atop the burning pile...
