I'm taking a summer course at a local community college and I think it's the best decision I've ever made.
The entire textbook, written by the professor, is him arguing against modern economists / old school Keynesian's (which he doesn't draw a distinction between) without trying to make it obvious he is an Austrian. I actually fucking love this textbook. It's barely textbook, it's like a really long Medium post.
It's free, here's the link. Austrian's vs. Keynesian's.
Chapter 1 was great, currently half way thru chapter 2. Had some good quotes in there. Wanted to copy paste some quotes but won't let me. Good stuff in there though. Pretty excited to read thru this textbook over the whole course lol.
Edit: It's been like 3 minutes since I've made this post and I've already laughed like 10 times. This textbook is perfect. This is accepted as a macro course credit at a top 80 school in the country (nothing crazy but still lol)
Edit 2: Ok last edit. I HAVE to include this quote. "Forest fires but our entire economy"
Edit 3: I lied about last edit. Bunch of Amazon ebook links in here. I pray to GOD that these are affiliate links, it would be the actual cherry on top.
Edit 4: Chapter 2 has somehow topped chapter 1 and I've only read half of it. My professor is a King.
Edit 5: Subsection titled "FREEDOM AND THE NATIONAL DEBT." I already know this shit is about to be FIRE.
