Very long: Socialism by Ludwig von Mises, or any of F.A. Hayek’s work on spontaneous order
(All available in pdf form by googling, though some may be copyrighted)
For specific questions, the Mises forums will happily supply you with arguments and tailored links for any economic questions. Just be sure to ask for arguments on consequentialist grounds since the forum is idealogically extremely libertarian (but friendly).
If you’re looking for something more mild of the John Stossel or Milton Friedman variety, try anything by Friedman himself, or Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy—though these may not align with libertarian arguments on monetary policy.
