I wish to recommend:
1. The Rational Optimist by Matt Ridley
A wonderful history detailing how markets create prosperity and Governments
destroy it, from pre-civilization to the present. A terrific book for
introducing intelligent individuals to libertarianism.
2. Libertarianism Today by J. H. Huebert
I have not read it, but it has received fabulous reviews. Anthony Gregory
highly recommends it as the best introduction to libertarianism available.
How can I arrange to have these books included in the LPSF recommended
readings?
Warm regards, Michael
Michael,
Thanks for your suggestions, and for their user-friendly format. Regarding your question, "How can I arrange to have these books included in the LPSF recommended readings?" that's what we're trying to get a handle on here.
Given the lack of feedback on some points, and an apparent lack of consensus on others, my suggestion is that we do one of two things. Either:
(1) Put this item on the agenda at a monthly meeting and formally adopt a group policy on each of the various questions I've raised, or
(2) Explicitly give me as Outreach Director, along with whoever else wants to be on the Outreach committee and meet to discuss it, the authority to come up with a system

Hello Starchild!
I will place it on the agenda for the next meeting, so we can have it in writing what we are aiming to do and how we are planning to do it.
The last time we discussed this, as I have said at least a couple of times already, the objective was for members to submit their recommendations to Rob, the webmaster, and he would put the recommendation up. This is exactly as the charity list was handled. The challenge, was that no one was submitting titles. So, thank you for stepping in to encourage submissions.
Although I will plan to have the item on the agenda, this is not to say that we cannot discuss this on the Activist List if we want to. If we can come to agreement on a plan, we will save meeting time.

Starchild,
I would be interested in being on a committee to set criteria for listing books, if this is what you have in mind.
Warm regards, Michael
