I'm new to the Austrian School (though not Liberalism in general), and recently decided I wanted to have a more solid basis of knowledge to defend my beliefs from Leftist Onslaughts (sadly, I am enrolled in a high-school where my History teacher butchers the pronunciation of "laissez-faire" and can't even define it, not to mention that my school is considered the cream of the crop of public schools). In particular, is there any book out there that analyzes instances in American history, and how they were handled in reality as opposed to an ideal, Capitalist approach? Or a book on American history by an Austrian Author?
See Murray Rothbard at http://mises.org/literature.aspx?action=author&ID=299
The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History?
How Capitalism Saved America or Conceived in Liberty.
"The relationship between libertarianism and conservatism is one of praxeological compatibility, sociological complementarity, and reciprocal reinforcement"
Professor Hans-Hermann Hoppe
I really wish there were a low-level Austrian overview of American history in the style of more popular history books like A People's History of the United States (libtard propoganda).
Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to write >_>
