Charlie Kirk, The Left, and A Troubled Nation

Written in 1951, God and Man at Yale is a critical examination of Yale University's undergraduate education by William F. Buckley Jr., who had just graduated from the institution. The book argues that Yale's faculty were undermining the university's founding ethos of Christian humanism by promoting atheism, collectivism, and Keynesian economics. Buckley criticized specific courses and professors for their hostility to religion and individualism, suggesting that this was a betrayal of the values held by Yale's alumni. The book is considered a seminal work in the American conservative movement and had a significant impact on Buckley's career and public profile.

Wealth and Poverty, written by George F. Gilder, is a seminal work that argues for the efficacy of supply-side economics in reducing poverty. First published in 1981, the book was hailed as 'a guide to capitalism' and has sold over a million copies. Gilder posits that poverty is not a result of structural economic flaws but rather of the breakdown of family structures and the lack of moral and social responsibilities. He advocates for the strengthening of male roles in families and the promotion of free-market capitalism as opposed to government-regulated markets. The book has been updated in a 2012 edition to address contemporary economic challenges and critique big-government policies.
