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
