Great work with these newsletters, really enjoying them. You asked for book recommendations, I’m more of a non fiction person too. I was wondering if you’d read Freakonomics or Super freakonomics? Or any of atom Hartford’s books? They do a superb job of applying economics concepts to other situations we wouldn’t normally associate with economics. It really expanded how I think about things.
Thanks! Yeah, I've read both of the Freakonomics books and Tim Hartford's Undecover Economist - enjoyed them! Are there others of his you'd recommend? (BTW if you know anyone else who might like the newsletter, please do forward it on, it all helps). Thanks!
Will do! I would recommend The Undercover Economist Strikes Back, Adapt: Why Success always starts with Failure & Fifty Inventions that shaped the modern economy, all from Tim Hartford. I also remembered another book along similar lines to Freakonomics I enjoyed called More Sex Is Safer Sex: The Unconventional Wisdom of Economics.
