Steven Landsburg Armchair Economics is also good but most of those are more ‘micro’ ( how people react) than macro (markets)
Ive got an Economics degree but still have to google Gilts
Wont help with understanding current events but Niall Ferguson the Ascent of Money is a great read
I think the doc he did is on Youtube
The Ferguson book is a good shout.
Interesting piece on music discovery through the video game medium. Made me wonder what Epic have planned for Bandcamp. Theres so much potential there
Congrats to @Sonny for selling out on pre-orders for his first book, Modern Classics.
Got a link @sonny ?
Thanks Gavin - All sold-out I’m afraid.
What’s the book about Sonny?
My 100 personal selections actually. All written in Thai except the title/artist/label bit in English.
Any plans to translate it?
Good to see The Blue Nile in there. Rooftops and Hats were my favourite morning after/comedown albums for many years.
Hope these guys finally get what they deserve, Sherman sounds like he was a real POS.
Will 100% not be buying (but someone might)
