One thing I like to do from time to time, is recommend a good book.
Brad DeLong has been an economics and history professor at UC Berkeley for a long time, and I have enjoyed reading his posts. He has recently put together many of his thoughts in a book,
Slouching Towards Utopia, which I am reading and recommend to anyone interested in the history of the "Long 20th Century" from 1870-2010. The Economist's very positive review of the book is
here.
Brad DeLong has come up on this blog before -- here's a list of the times I've mentioned him previously:
- Paul Krugman: "Brad, Don't Get Too Excited."
- QE4.
- Brooks and Krugman.
- Nothing So Dear as #cheapmoney
- Le Mieux est l'ennemi du Bien.
- @RobertJShiller and the #EMRATIO.
