Top 7 non-fiction books I recommend. 📚
Not an endorsement of everything in these books, but I learned a great deal about economics, history, and politics.
1️⃣ Bourgeois Equality (McCloskey): How the West got rich.
2️⃣ In the Garden of Beasts (Larson): An American family in 1930s Berlin, watching a society die.
3️⃣ Recession (Tyler Goodspeed): Why economies shrink. Excellent new book.
4️⃣ Cicero (Everitt): The life of arguably the greatest statesman the West ever produced.
5️⃣ Red Dawn Over China (Dikötter): How China became communist.
6️⃣ The Lives of the Caesars (Suetonius): The most readable classical text I know. Reads like a novel.
7️⃣ The Fiscal Theory of the Price Level (John H. Cochrane): A bold, rigorous book on modern macroeconomics.
