The signals of history are very instructive. If we are to see the possibilities, then it is imperative to explore periods that reflect elements of our current world. Exploration is illuminating – but learning from the past is crucial. In his recent book, Fareed Zakaria provides signals from past revolutions - and holds a mirror to our current global moment. I highly recommend the book. https://lnkd.in/e_tgDsS3 #History #Future

My fourth book officially releases today! "Work Out Your Salvation" explores how markets contribute to or impede moral formation. I draw on theology, ethics, and economics, particularly attending to experimental economics. I argue that markets can be designed in various ways, and that we can design markets to be more likely to foster virtue or vice. Buy a copy here: https://lnkd.in/gfTFy-qi

This very elucidating book with title “Vienna - how the cities of ideas created the modern world” - hard to read and near to 400 pages - written by Richard Crockett, an ECONOMIST editor, and published in 2023, points excellently out how brains from Vienna shaped culture, business and economics in the world, mainly the US and UK. A short survey article, kind of an abstract of this book, had been published by THE ECONOMIST in its Christmas issue of 2016 under the title “How Vienna produced ideas that shaped the West” (likely also authored by Richard Cockett?): https://lnkd.in/dGpwHmdb #vienna #richardcockett #theviennacircle

Longest and hardest book I’ve ever read. Took me 9 months but what a journey it was ! No wonder it is considered one of the foundational work of modern economic thought. Besides immersing myself in ideas like division of labour, “invisible hand of the market”, mercantilism, free trade, colonial monopolies, the nearly 1000 page long book provided interesting insight into the 18th century world and the Enlightenment. I feel like my horizon broadened so much ! As an antithesis to this libertarian masterpiece I want to read Karl Marx: The Capital in the future however now for some time lighter literature will do. :)
