The best reader in economics

This is a mix of two things - first, it is a good set of readings from key economic thinkers - Hayek, Bastiat and others. Then each section is introduced with a story about Jim Doti's Italian family in Chicago - that illustrate the principles in the section. Dwight Lee and Jim Doti are first rate economists - Dwight Lee has contributed heavily to Public Choice economics and Doti is both the president of a University and the founder of the Chapman economic forecast. But don't let the academic ties turn you off. This ranks with Henry Hazlitt's masterpiece as a wonderful introduction to markets.
