Toward a Historical Bibliography of the First Quarter (2000–2025)
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


Murray Rothbard said that economics, law, and history are the most susceptible to propaganda. It is astonishing how historical narratives become established in real time. If we are not vigilant about remembering, recording, and reciting the history of the last quarter century, it will be shaped into a state-approved, establishment narrative—one that assures us political elites did their best with the knowledge they had, that progress was led by wise officials and their obedient followers (the “resistance”), and that objections came only from the selfish, cowardly, ignorant, or evil who were thankfully overcome.

In this state-approved court history, every war was a sincere quest for justice based on unimpeachable intelligence and all opposition came from “isolationists.” Economic crises were caused by deregulation and greedy capitalists, with the heroic state and central bank swooping in to save the day. The covid response was science-based, courageous, and unified—despite partisan obstruction and misinformation from a few selfish would-be “grandma-killers.” According to the legend, we followed the science, stayed safe, and banded together.

Much of the public—despite considering themselves to be independent thinkers—has accepted nearly every establishment lie of the last 25 years. They still believe institutions and policies are what their names suggest and, if they were being deceived, they would know it.

We cannot allow the establishment to write the history of 2000–2025. To that end, I’ve compiled a non-exhaustive bibliography for understanding this turbulent period. Not every work listed is endorsed without qualification, but each has been carefully selected. As always, read with discernment—eat the meat, spit out the bones.

Though the official beginning is 2000, many of the themes covered require context. We cannot understand 2000 without some understanding of the prior period. This is the challenge of any history. To avoid Harry Browne’s quip that “history began on 9/11,” a few relevant pre-2000 works are included.

This bibliography is organized into three domains: economics, foreign policy, and domestic policy.
