Reed's most recent book is A Republic—If We Can Keep It, a collection of essays by Reed and historian Burton W. Folsom, Jr. that surveys the economic history of the United States and the modern world.
Another of Reed's recent books is Striking the Root: Essays on Liberty, a bundling of works previously published in FEE's magazine, The Freeman. The essays zero in on what Reed identifies as the chief root of many America's burdens: the failure of the its people to recognize that, in order to survive and have influence, governments must use force.
Reed's other books include Lessons from the Past: The Silver Panic of 1893, and Private Cures for Public Ills: The Promise of Privatization, both published by the Foundation for Economic Education, and When We Are Free, with Dale M. Haywood.
