Required Econ1001 Reading (Listening)
It's best if you listen to other writings by Thomas Sowel with the same interest. The concepts are interconnected, coherently developed and very practical in the eyes of an undergraduate economist as well as a general reader.

A utilitarian opinion piece
Worth a listen to get an understanding of economic thinking, but take it with a big grain of salt.
Early on it's quite a decent textbook, and illustrates the importance of employing basic economic concepts (incetives, supply & demand, costs, etc.) to political decision making.
A few chapters in though, it just becomes an almost completely blind propaganda piece for utilitarian capitalism with evident gaping holes in the logic of its underlying assumptions.
