I'm curious what books/articles you'd recommend, if there are any.
The key is not specific books, but being immune to poison. With the immuinity, you can read everything. Without it, no source is safe for you.Most of people have no immunity. For them the best solution is MYOB. That's because the closer is an area to your daily activity and experience, the harder it is to mislead you about it. When it's about your weekly paycheck, everybody is expert. When it's about your country's budget, everybody is fooled.
Having said this, I can say what sources I've personally have found less poisoned:
-About religion: Atheistic writings.
-About economics: Microeconomy. Macroeconomy is poisoned.
-About politics: Libertarian writings.
-About EU: S.N.Parkinson and his laws.
-About Putin: Machiavelli.
-About Ukraine: http://www.stopfake.org/en/
Why am I not surprised one iota by "Libertarian writings."
Anyway, so by "immune to poison" you mean "think critically about what you're reading." You could have just said that. Why do libertarians have to be so hyperbolic?
LOL, the irony
