That would be awesome man...I'm very interested in learning about the Founding Fathers whether it's their political views or just their overall outlook on life. I'm also quite interested in the Founders that were Freemasons as well as I'm currently trying to join that group.
I should be done with it in a few weeks, I'll get your address somewhere around then.

The Wealth of Nations (Adam Smith) is probably the most influential book on American style capitalism.
Overall one of the most important book in the history and understanding of economy as well. There are a few concepts of Smith that doesn,t work (like the invisible hand) but overall, this is a deep and quite lucid look at how modern economy operate in many ways.
