   Henry Hazlitt - 'Economics in one lesson' Mises - 'Theory of Credit and Money' Adam Smith - 'Wealth of Nations' Milton Friedman - 'Capitalism and Freedom' Murray Rothbard - 'A New Liberty'

   Have been my personal, but somewhat one-sided favourites.

   Sorry, while I said "I believe", I should have stated it as a fact, as I consider it essentially proven by economics.

   I suggest you read Man, Economy and State by Murray Rothbard. But if you want something shorter and quicker, try Economics in One lesson by Henry Hazlitt. Both are available free online.

   I felt the same way when I discovered bitcoin last year. Here are some books that I read that helped:

   * "End the Fed" by Ron Paul

   * "Economics in One Lesson" by Henry Hazlitt

   * "The Mystery of Banking" by Murray Rothbard

   * "What has government done with our money?" by Murray Rothbard

   * "Debt: The First 5000 Years" by David Graeber

   I see what you mean now by "mindless hoarding". This requires a more detailed discussion; happily, Henry Hazlitt has provided it:

   See also Murray Rothbard's discussion:

   You may not agree with their analyses, but at least they can serve as a counter-narrative to the mainstream views you evidently support.

   By the way, your comment can be improved by removing everything before "not all forms..." In that case, it would simply make a cogent point (though one with which I still take exception). As it stands, your comment comes across as petty and unrefined. Stay classy—it's nicer, and it's also more likely to persuade.
