The catalogue from my own publisher, Princeton University Press, arrived in the post & is packed with books I want to read – oh dear, the in-pile is already mountainous. I did read the proofs of the new book by George Akerlof and Robert Shiller, [amazon_link id=”B00WAM14RE” target=”_blank” ]Phishing for Phools: The Economics of Manipulation and Deception[/amazon_link], and recommend it strongly as an alternative take on the fashionable behavioural economics. Among other enticing new titles are Martin Sandbu’s [amazon_link id=”B00WAM14PQ” target=”_blank” ]Europe’s Orphan[/amazon_link], [amazon_link id=”0691145113″ target=”_blank” ]Empire and Revolution: The Political Life of Edmund Burke[/amazon_link] by Richard Bourke, [amazon_link id=”B00WAM14OW” target=”_blank” ]Capitalism: A Short History[/amazon_link] by Jurgen Kocka, [amazon_link id=”069115922X” target=”_blank” ]Political Turbulence: How Social Media Shape Collective Action[/amazon_link] by Helen Margetts, Peter John, Scott Hale and Taha Yasseri, and Robert Gordon’s [amazon_link id=”0691147728″ target=”_blank” ]The Rise and Fall of American Growth[/amazon_link] (although we’ve all read all his papers of course).
