Re: Required Reading
Everyone who recommended basic macroeconomic books, can you please recommend a book that doesn't apply specifically only to the US (I'm sure some of those listed already applies) but works for Europe as well?

Re: Required Reading
I am surprised Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand hasn't been mentioned. Although a little slow at times, it very clearly shows the folly of communism.
Two other books, The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn is a great book if you really want to get into the nuts and bolts of how people were treated in the USSR. If you are a sports fan, Moneyball should be read because it will completely change your idea of how conventional wisdom in baseball usually isn't.
