✊ fight the power!
I'm sad to say that I've heard a lot about old Atlas (From the Tuttle twins books, highly recommend when the kiddos are old enough!!! I started my son on these when he was 5) but have yet to read the masterpiece myself. One day soon! I am reading more formal books with my son for bed, and although I think this one would be a little high for his level, he likes a challenge.
The points are for sure important though. We need to value individuals contributions because they are very important. Altruism and society as a whole will never be perfect, so we need to focus on our local environment and doing what we need to to take care of it, instead of expecting someone else to do it.
Oh wow, your son is already listening to books of that volume?! 😱 My goodness, I was still reading Disney classics at his age! That's wonderful to hear.
I will say, if you do invest in it, be prepared 😬 it's over 1,000 pages, about a month to finish, but you truly get a feel for the world this way.
And you're right, it is important. Otherwise, I wouldn't have received a comment the other day saying, "We shouldn't practice self-reliance." Like, what? 😅😅
Statists are pretty wild!
If you liked atlas, you should read Murray Rothbard Anatomy of the State. It's a challenging read but it's important as well with those concepts!
He isn't reading that level of book per-se but I give a shout out to the tuttle twins whenever I can! They have phenomenal content and help break down the concepts for kids 5 and above. We read the whole series, plus the history books, every night for a few years or so lol
He just got a really high score on his vocabulary for something because he knew what currency was, and talked about fiat currency it was hilarious.
