What people on Hacker News said
Milton Friedman is an excellent writer. Try "Capitalism and Freedom" or "Free To Choose". Not so much academic discussions about partial derivatives applied to indifference curves, but very informative.
I found Milton Friedman's "Free To Choose" fundamental and very readable.
I especially liked the debate segment in each show, where Friedman argues his points with both supporters and detractors. It struck me while watching it, you really can't find stuff like this on TV anymore.
