Hello, I'm new to Mises.org and the field of Austrian Economics. Would the general population care to enlighten me? Thanks!

A good quick intro to the basics:

Welcome! 

 

The first thing I would suggest doing is looking up some lectures by either Thomas Woods Jr. or Robert Murphy. They're both insanely intelligent people and absolutely hilarious so you'll have no trouble listening and enjoying the lectures these guys give.

 

As for reading material, I'd suggest against jumping straight into Human Action. Try out Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt first.

 

Good luck!
