1/ Are u interested in reading books that explain important economic ideas for the world around us? Written by some of the best economists and based on solid research? I'd recommend three recent books (in no particular order)
2/ First, "Euro Tragedy" by @AshokaMody . Learn the power of *monetary economics*. How poor monetary design and poor policy response to ensuing problems can create havoc with people's lives. Written with a focus on the creation of Euro and crisis of 2008. amzn.to/2xjKjva
3/ Second, "Radical Markets" by @glenweyl and Posner. It's about *market design*, how to write "rules of the game" to create a more inclusive, equitable and just society. Read it for sheer creativity and boldness of ideas - you'd want to study economics. amzn.to/2peJPlA
4/ Third, "A Crisis Of Beliefs" by Gennaioli and Shleifer. It's about *finance* and *behavioral economics*. Provides a new theory for understanding credit cycles and financial dysfunction based on some foundational work. amzn.to/2xk6BN5
