Political Arithmetic: Simon Kuznets and the Empirical Tradition in Economics
Recommended to the reader with an intermediate familiarity with economic thought, in particular as a primer on Kuznets, the National Bureau of Economic Research, and national income measurement.
PREMIUM
Madmen, Intellectuals, and Academic Scribblers: The Economic Engine of Political Change
The book is recommended to students of political economy and to general readers who seek to understand how the "invisible hand" of the market is formed and guided to encourage the actions of millions.
PREMIUM
A Nation of Deadbeats: An Uncommon History of America's Financial Disasters
Recommended as a resource to put financial crises in proper perspective. Nelson's broad historical knowledge allows him to contextualize policy developments, geopolitical movements, and personal stories. Readers will gain a deeper grasp of the ebbs and flows of the American economy, and may be more likely to recognize the patterns of the next panic before it is too late.
PREMIUM
Freedom's Forge
Recommended for the invaluable insights regarding how government administrators and industry leaders worked together to produce a winning arsenal. Economists and general readers alike will benefit from its historical perspective.
PREMIUM
Land of Promise
Despite its shortcomings, the book's value is in revealing, behind every generalized economic data point, stories of real people with real names and real skills who contributed to U.S. economic success and made the country a true "land of promise." [See Prepub Alert, 8/21/11.]
PREMIUM
The Ten Trillion Dollar Gamble
Highly recommended for those planning to invest over the next five years or more. It is not easy to find books that combine debt macroeconomics with sound financial advice, but Koesterich manages it well.
PREMIUM
Uprising
The level-headed, disinterested approach and the non-overbearing inclusion of relevant data make the book appropriate for deepening one's understanding of present geopolitical tectonics. This is highly recommended to any audience interested in political economy.
PREMIUM
Seeds of Destruction
Recommended for a general audience with marginal interest in economic policy; required reading for those crafting U.S. economic policy.
PREMIUM
The Culture of Debt
Though the book is timely and the message could not be more significant, pervasive reminders of the author's past experiences sound too much like an infomercial for his services, and the simple conversational writing style inhibits the book's flow.
