Cass Sunstein has the list.

…progressives need to be reading the best conservative thought — certainly Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, but also more contemporary figures such as Antonin Scalia and Robert Ellickson. The same is true for conservatives, if they hope to learn from progressives. Here are five books with which they might start.

1: “The Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty, and Economics for a Warming World,” by William Nordhaus…

2: “Success and Luck: Good Fortune and the Myth of Meritocracy,” by Robert H. Frank…

3: “Freedom’s Law: The Moral Reading of the American Constitution,” by Ronald Dworkin…

4: “Scarcity: Why Having Less Means So Much,” by Sendhil Mullainathan and Eldar Shafir…

5: “The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The U.S. Standard of Living since the Civil War,” by Robert J. Gordon.

    You can’t change the mind of a conservative. They are brainwashed foaming-at-the-mouth fanatics who believe the most outrageous lies as if they were Gospel truth and are incapable of processing facts or reason.

    I feel a need to defend conservatives, a little. There are some conservatives who can be persuaded by facts.

    But, they aren’t welcome in the Republican party. They get mocked as “RINO”s.
