 Plebs, shill me your favourite resources on Austrian Economics. Bonus points if it’s lite reading, for the lite and little. 
The next generation thanks you!

 Economics in One Lesson (can find the free pdf on  fee.org if I'm remembering the url correctly, and also, that site).  
 Found it, thanks! 
 That's the best basic primer ever written on the subject.  
 Must be popular, not available at my local library currently. 
 Or shsdowbanned. It upsets a lot of people, especially academics.  
 You can download from this URL,:
Economics in One Lesson - The Institute for Liberal Studies https://www.liberalstudies.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Economics-in-One-Lesson_2.pdf 
 "The Road to Serfdom" by Friedrich Hayek

"Human Action: A Treatise on Economics"  by Ludwig von Mises 
 Thank you! 
 While these are excellent, I can't really consider either short or light reading. LOL  
 The Tuttle Twins books cover a lot of Austrian Econ concepts

 I had forgot about these!! TY! 
 Lite as in kids cartoon, or entry level adult? Bitcoin standard is one of the most approachable to the theory of money in general and the Austrian viewpoint. There was a couple of kids videos on bitcoin that go into the nature of money if you want I can find the link. 
 Cartoon or otherwise, but youth level. Bitcoin Standard and several others I have or have read, but it’s all bit thick for younger intro level I find. The kids videos if you have links handy would be great! TY! 
 3 of my 5 kids have a bitcoin wallet and seem to understand hard money well, the other 2 could care less 🤣 
 Smack them right upside their haircut with the Bitcoin Standard itself 😂 
 🤣. I’m playing the long game 
 an extensive list of references can be found at https://libertyclassroom.com/learn-austrian-economics/ 
 Thanks for the reference! 
 Tuttle Twins is a great show that teaches concepts in line with the Austrian school.
