12 Books Hypocrites & Half-Wits - Donald J. Boudreaux (Book) Each day, Donald J. Boudreaux, professor of economics at George Mason University, writes a letter to the editor of a major American publication. Often, he writes in response to an absurdity offered up by a columnist or politician, or an eye-catching factoid misleadingly taken out of context. This collection is comprised of one hundred of Boudreaux s best letters. Without swearing allegiance to any party or ideology, Boudreaux takes aim at pundits and politicos on the left, right, and everywhere between. He tackles issues ranging from lookism in the office and the futility of border walls to naïve faith in alternative energy and the all-too-common tendency to trust a fallible and ever-expanding government. (BKD ) Ideas & Action - George P. Shultz featuring the 10 Commandments of Negotiation (Book) George Shultz was a Marine in the South Pacific during WWII, holds a Ph.D in Economics from MIT, has been Dean of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, President of an international corporation (Bechtel), and has held four cabinet posts.
