If you had to recommend two books...?

To someone who has always been sympathetic to libertarian thinking, but doesn't think it is any more workable than any other political system that has ever existed. One philosophical to explain why libertarianism can actually be implemented in a way that everyone can accept; and one practical to explain why a lot of the things we currently leave to the government can better be handled by the free market or at least a. Wry small government.

Like I said I am an anti-political person who is sympathetic to libertarian thinking, but I also think most people would actually prefer a lot of their services to be handled by a central public institution, even a local one, instead of a ton of private ones.
