Since I'm stuck in the newbieland....

Would someone please pass this link: http://www.mises.org to this inquiring person in the economics section :http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=26378.msg331326#msg331326

Maybe pass on that anything ever written by Murry Rothbard, which ranges from basic introduction to the full works of the Austrian school would be well worth his time.
And that if he has the stomach for a VERY wordy dissertation, Mises' own "Human Action" is indispensible.
Of course Hazlit's "Economics in One Lesson" is a good comprimise of entry level yet not dumed down approach. And the inspiring figugure of that book, Frederic Bastait should be looked into. http://bastiat.org/en/ is a wealth of information. "The Law" and What is Seen and What is Not Seen" are not to be overlooked.

Anyway, if someone could pass that on while I sit here in newbie jail........

Now that you have made one post in the newbie section, you can send him a PM.

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

But I was trying to be sneaky and increase both my online time and post count.
Having your phone call somehow doesn't make you feel much better when your still in jail

Another 2 hours and 37 minutes reading all that you can about bitcoin on this forum, and you will be good to go.
