In Part Three, the essay topics include: what 'classical liberalism' means; common myths about the nature of capitalism; the nature of 'happiness economics'; the basic ideas of Public Choice economics; Adam Smith's life and work; the legitimacy of secession in America today; and how the American economy compares to European ones. In Part Four, the topics include the ethics of a nation restricting the emigration of trained professionals, Gary Becker's proposals for immigration reform, and my own proposals for immigration reform. Finally, in Part Five, the topics include business ethics; the nature of American charity today; the economic contributions of Smith, Marx, and Keynes; the spread and value of liberal think-tanks; and the anti-Malthusian economics of Julian Simon.
