My summer book tips! 📘📗📕📙📚 This spring I have read about how enormous changes will be needed to save humanity from destroying our eco-system, and hence ourselves. Large systemic changes will be needed: The New Economy and the Ecological Economics movements are leading the way. The New Economy and Beyond Growth are not longer radical concepts, but used by the EU, mentioned in mainstream media and in research. It is the start of the beginning for changing the narrative. This is my summer list for reading about New Economy and Ecological Economics.

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

I recently finished reading a book that left a lasting impact on me. Despite sitting on my bookshelf for years, I finally picked it up a few weeks ago. Thomas Piketty's work masterfully combines economics, history, finance, and politics to provide a fresh perspective on the complexities of our world today. In a time when global phenomena feel overwhelming and distant eras seem to resurface, this book breathes fresh air into understanding our current challenges. Piketty's use of data and statistics in a lucid and rigorous manner highlights the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach in handling complexity. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to explore issues such as unregulated globalization, new political movements, growing inequality, and the diminishing hope for a better world. It's a captivating read that sheds light on the problems of our time in a new and insightful way. #BookRecommendation #ThomasPiketty #GlobalChallenges

I don’t often share reading recommendations on social media, but today, I’m making an exception for a book I discovered recently. 📘 Daniel Cohen - Une brève histoire de l’économie Published posthumously, this book explores the major milestones in economic history, from the era of hunter-gatherers to the digital age. More than just a historical overview, this work invites readers to understand the mechanisms that have shaped the global economy over centuries while questioning the foundations of our current society. Economic growth, often viewed as a promise of the future, is presented here as a revealing mirror of human limitations: infinite desires in a finite world. In a time when contemporary challenges—climate change, social divides, and technological disruption—can feel overwhelming, Daniel Cohen offers a vital perspective. Understanding the road we’ve traveled is essential to envisioning a different future. He challenges us to rethink ideologies, reshape consumption habits, and perhaps, reimagine our vision of progress. I highly recommend this book to anyone—whether you’re passionate about economics, curious about history, or simply eager to gain new insights, this work is a treasure trove of knowledge. PS: Unfortunately, I am not sure the book has been translated in English. My dear English speaking friends, an opportunity to exercise your French ;) #DanielCohen #Economics #HistoryOfEconomics #BookRecommendation #EconomicHistory #GrowthLimits #SustainableFuture #Inspiration #KnowledgeSharing
