Question: What's a bigger joke than the public education system in the United States?

Answer: Nothing!

In addition to giving your kids "knowledge" about how a magic bullet killed Kennedy and a guy in a cave pulled off 9/11, they've begun to terrorize your kids.

It's not an education system. It's an indoctrination system.

Hopefully you're rich enough to send your kids to a private school, or are lucky enough to live in one of those rare neighborhoods where the public schools are actually decent. But in any event, if you're looking for a real business education, I strongly recommend the books listed below. The foundation of everything I blog about comes from these books -- so if you think this blog gives you good business information, then these books will be even better.

All these books are great and highly recommended, but the ones in bold are fantastic.
