My absolute top recommendation is why nations fail by Darren Aamagloo and James Robinson. Um the book uh the essential theme of the book is that inclusive political systems create inclusive economic systems.
Answering The Ezra Klein Show's closing question, three books to recommend, in “What the Shutdown Is Really About” (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-neera-tanden.html). Quoted from the episode's YouTube auto-captions.
And then end times by Peter Churchen which kind of gives a sense of why we are in this moment itself and what explains the Trump era um based on essentially um how people probably have felt stuck for a long time and uh it makes me think about how we need a political system that is answering more fundamental questions than perhaps it has so far.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.
The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.
A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.
The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.
What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:
Hardware, services4 years
Software5 years
Podcasts, courses, other8 years
Books25 years
Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
