Great list! I love how this goes from practical to deep theory — like hiking from the foothills straight to the summit. Hazlitt gives you that "aha!" moment about tradeoffs, Rothbard maps out the terrain, and Mises brings in the soul of the whole thing. Personally, I’d add The Law by Bastiat as a quick but powerful prelude — short, sharp, and hits you right in the ideas. Thanks for sharing this—it’s like a cheat code for understanding how the economic engine really works.
