Koch 2016 Seminar Reading List


So this past week the Koch Brothers had their one of the semi-annual seminar in Colorado this past week (Koch has been holding these seminars since 2003-back then hardly anyone would show up). In previous posts I covered what Charles Koch reads in his bathroom and a list of books that Koch Industries recommends to company employees through their quarterly newsletter Discovery.

Well at the seminar this year a list was obtained of books that Freedom Partners believes their donors should read. Membership to the organization is $100,000 per year. If you are a member you can select which books you want sent to you as well. Below are the books listed along with their links.
