An Educated Electorate

One of the main reasons our country is going down the flusher is because the general electorate is so profoundly ignorant of basic principles of government and economics.  It isn't that hard to get a basic understanding of what makes the (political) world go round.  If you were only to read a few books these are the ones I would recommend.

The US Constitution
I am continually amazed at how few people have read this.  It's only a few pages for crying out loud.  Every American over the age of 16 should read this periodically.

Economics in One Lesson
or
Basic Economics

The Law

Law 101
