Hi,
I've just begun to realize how woefully ignorant I am about the world in general. In specific, I find I don't know much about banks, taxes, democracy, communism, capitalism and other topics in political science and economics.
This curiosity has been kindled by reading Shaw, whose essays are fantastic, but he seems to be particularly one sided about communism. I'm guessing that anyone who writes about this stuff will tend to be biased at some stage or other. Do you folks have any recommendations on material that I could read to learn about this stuff in general? As indicated, I've already read a bit of Shaw, although it isn't much. I've picked up some books by Milton Freedman and Freidrich Hayek and hopefully will read them this summer.
I've found a course by Yale:

Please add!
