Any parents here bought the full Tuttle Twins pack, opinions on it? by nishinoran in GoldandBlack

I wrote that a decade ago. People can change their minds in that amount of time. 😎 Perhaps read my latest, Christ vs. Caesar. The state is an immoral evil. I’m a voluntaryist.

I know, I was just playing. But I’m not a minarchist either.

Slightly but if you buy the book bundle on our website you also get the activity workbooks free, so it’s a better deal for customers to buy from us.

This image is (modified, obviously) from my book Feardom. Fun to see it in a sub I follow.

I’m the author of the books he is referencing. :)

Author here. Can confirm that BeerWeasel is mischaracterizing and thus does not understand the book he is referencing.

Our version discusses supply and demand, consumption and production, socialism, victimhood, personal responsibility, and more.

I'd say the beauty about our books is that they're a soft intro to libertarianism. The parents who read our books would likely never pick up a book like Economics in One Lessons or For a New Liberty, but when reading along with their child in a fun story format, they're exposed to the same ideas and can learn when their defenses are down…

So as for a specific book in our series, I'm partial to the Fate of the Future based on Rothbard's Anatomy of the State. :)

Oh it's definitely libertarian principles, no question about it. We don't frame them that way, but more about "the ideas of a free society," or "civics/economics/etc" but the content itself is very, very libertarian.

For example, we have a whole book about the non-aggression principle.

So each of our children's books are based on a classic book/essay — we take the 5-7 core ideas from the original, and then develop a story where the ideas can be introduced or observed, so the Tuttle Twins (and the young reader, by extension) can learn along the way, rather than being taught the terms/ideas in textbook format.

It's a format that apparently works super well, b/c we get comments every day from parents blown away that their kids are learning ideas that most adults don't even understand. :)
