The Fun Books of Economics

A great story by Ayn Rand explaining the economics of how the capitalist of the world keep it moving forward and when their incentive dies so does the economy. A fictional story that centers around a woman as its main capitalist.

Leavitt and Dubner make sense of the non-sensical, explain the unexplainable, and do it through use of statistics and sociology. Excellent book. (I loved the explanation on the drop of violent crime——not anything an administration did)

Malcolm Gladwell’s latest and weakest effort. Still good, but not on the level of Blink. He basically says that there is no such thing as dumb luck or lucky sperm, rather the successful elite work their tails off.

One of my favorite non-fiction books of all time. Explains that we humans should trust our instincts.

Gladwell’s first book — that was widely popular with churches and businesses — explains why stuff gets popular, why we migrate seemingly all at once to a subject/gimmick/TV show, etc.

I need to read this again but it is profound. Ayn Rand introduces us to the concept of Objectivism, which for me, means laissez-faire capitalism and government should leave me alone so that I can follow my bliss...

This book has nothing to do with economics. I found the book intriguing with its use of flashbacks and the backdrop of high school to set the stage in the reflective moments of the book.
