Great #reading! This economic history of the XX century by J. Bradford Delong presents us an insightful #politicaleconomy analysis of the huge economic progress achieved, highlighting the successes but also the failures of this long century. To the point that, although the World progressed tremendously, no one seems happy with the #politicaljustice achieved. A long journey slouching towards utopia where the role of the State regarding the markets was permanently discussed, questioned, revised and adjusted. Although focusing mostly on the Global North, particularly highlighting the dynamics in the UK and US, the #book provides us an informed and engaged overview of a history that starts around 1870 with the emergence of the global commerce and modern corporation. A “grand narrative”, according to the author, that finishes in 2010 just after the financial crisis that helped to unleash “destabilizing waves of political and cultural anger from masses of citizens”. I liked particularly the critic of the author regarding the “less State, less intervention” narrative that took over the West in mid-70s, never being able however to deliver the #prosperity and even growth of the social democracy golden years of 1945-1975. Great book, no doubt about that!

I have just finished reading the awesome book Success and Luck by Robert H. Frank. A nice mixture of economy, behavioural science, and a specific tax policy proposal that could make the world a better place. If you are into these things, read it. And if you enjoy it, move on to his earlier one The Darwin Economy.

I recently finished reading "The Changing World Order" by Ray Dalio and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in understanding the global economy and markets. Dalio, a legendary investor and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller "Principles," has spent half a century studying global economies and markets. In this book, he examines history’s most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those we’ve experienced in our lifetimes. He also offers practical advice on how to navigate these changes. If you're looking for a thought-provoking read, this is definitely a book to add to your list. https://lnkd.in/eiE_UQQF

With Adam Dixon as a smiling, but gentle, inquisitor, and Sarah Tsui-Wha Cheung a charming host, my visit to Adam Smith's Panmure House to talk about 'How to Think like an Economist' covered many of the themes which run through it. Even in the planning, I realised that it was important to show how the nature of economic thinking changed in the 1930s. With such a short book, so much had to be left on the cutting room floor, much of which will go into my next project. The idea is simple: to show how the best thinking about the economy has been essential for the preservation of #liberalism, the #ruleoflaw, and #democracy itself. No better place to make that argument than in Adam Smith's home. And no better time than in this year of elections, where voters have lost confidence in political processes.
