This post is currently more of a “work in progress” at the moment. Eventually I hope to have a libertarian reading list as a permanent link on the side bar of this blog. I would prefer however to others make contributions and suggestions to the list beforehand.
Fredric Bastiat – The Law
Jagdish Bhagwati – In defence of Globalisation
Johan Goldberg- Liberal Fascism
Milton Friedman – Capitalism and Freedom
Milton Friedman – Bright Promises, Dismal Performances
Thomas Friedman – The World is Flat
F.A Hayek – Individualism and Economic Order
F.A Hayek – The Road to Serfdom
Henry Hazlitt – Economics in One Lesson
Richard Maybury – The Money Mystery
Richard Maybury – Whatever Happened to Justice?
Alan Moore – V for Vendetta (Comic Series)
Robert Nozick – Anarchy, State and Utopia
George Orwell - 1984
Ron Paul – A Manifesto
Ron Paul - Pillars of Prosperity
Joseph Stiglitz – Globalisation and its discontents
Benjamin Tucker – Instead of a book by a man too busy to write one
Ludwig Von Mises – The anti- capitalist mentality
Ludwig Von Mises – What has government done to our money?
I'm looking for people’s recommendations; whether they’re for books that are as yet not on the list, books on the list you feel are substandard or just recommending anything on here as a “must read”.
All input is appreciated.

Welcome
In Scotland, we are posed with a false choice. Stick with Labour, and stay as a strong Scotland within the union! Or: Stick with the SNP and gain your freedom from England, to have it replaced by a serfdom to Brussels!
The Libertarian Party UK perceives that the freer individuals are from the State, the stronger they will be, and the stronger we will be as a whole.
This is the alternative answer we need to the prevailing ideology of statism and authoritarianism, both left and right.

Ive already found some more shortly after posting this.

I submit this limited (and I do mean limited) list. It travels through libertarianism, economics, the age of Scottish enlightment (one of the birth of libertarianism), and various historical events. My current catalogue is some 8GB (offline) with an additional 4 - 8 x more from a variety of sources. I would also suggest reading the opposition, for what we can learn and debate resolves our passions.

I would say that is a very good list right there. Would be a good idea I feel to first separate all the titles into different catagories for ease of use. Then highlight perhaps some of the best ones to give people a good place to start. Also a quick one line overview maynot be a bad thing.
Agreed. I do not wish to hog the input so I would ask for any/all contributors to copy their contributions into an email. We could then formally organise this into subjects and link this with LPUK.org (either main or Scotland region).
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."
—Thomas Jefferson
I would suggest James Bartholomew's "The Welfare State we're in" as an exposé of just how and why welfarism doesn't work.
Might it be possible to link to Amazon and get a small donation for each book bought?
