This book is based on A Foreign Policy of Freedom by Ron Paul.

Why is Socialism so Harmful?

In a world filled with consumers, what happens if the producers give up and leave? And how can people better practice personal responsibility and not have a sense of entitlement about the things they think they deserve? Join Ethan and Emily to find out!

This book is based on Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.

Persuasion vs. Coercion

In a world where dystopian fiction might seem too close to reality, Ethan and Emily learn that the fate of the future depends on thinking of ways we can work together peacefully, to build a better society without relying on coercion and the state.

This book is based on Anatomy of the State by Murray Rothbard.

What is True Education?

After hearing award-winning teacher John Taylor Gatto discuss some problems with schooling and share a vision for how children are best educated, the Tuttle family decides to embark on a new learning adventure to discover true education.

This book is based on The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto.

Why We Act the Way We Do

After making some money, the twins decide to loan it out to other kids like them in order to earn some interest—and in the process learn about risk, bailouts, subsidies, and what happens when their children’s market gets messed up.

This book is based on Human Action by Ludwig von Mises.

Truth Overpowers Fear

Through a fun fantasy game, the twins learn how fear and ignorance lead to despots gaining power over us, and how the truth plays a pivotal role in defending our freedoms and helping other people succeed.

This book is based on Crisis and Leviathan by Robert Higgs.

Be Your Best Self

Should We Reward Merit?

At the most unusual track meet they’ve ever seen, the twins face a new challenge: a competition where effort and ability take a backseat to identity and circumstances.

This book is inspired by Marxism: Philosophy and Economics by Thomas Sowell.
