Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels was asked to choose five books on American conservatism, and discuss them. Worth noting that the selections have a bit of a libertarian bent.

His choices:

The Road to Serfdom, by F.A. Hayek

Free to Choose, by Milton Friedman

What it Means to be a Libertarian, by Charles Murray

The Rise and Decline of Nations, by Mancur Olson

The Future and Its Enemies, by Virginia Postrel

Read why he choose these books, here.

Most other governors must be reading the comics.

" Can you be a libertarian governor?

I try to be. I mean, just to be simplistic about it, we believe that leaving the maximum number of dollars in the possession of those who earned them is an exercise in enlarging freedom. "
