I’m off later this morning to Kilkenomics, the brilliant festival of comedy and economics in Kilkenny, and taking a look at the programme reveals that the authors of many fine books will be there. Radical econo-politicians Yanis Varoufakis ([amazon_link id=”178360610X” target=”_blank” ]The Global Minotaur[/amazon_link]) and Corbyn’s guru Richard Murphy ([amazon_link id=”1907720286″ target=”_blank” ]The Courageous State[/amazon_link]) will be there. The mutli-talented Gillian Tett ([amazon_link id=”1844087573″ target=”_blank” ]The Silo Effect[/amazon_link]) and her FT superstar colleague Martin Wolf ([amazon_link id=”0718197968″ target=”_blank” ]The Shifts and the Shocks[/amazon_link]). There’s also the radical economist George Cooper ([amazon_link id=”0857193821″ target=”_blank” ]Money, Blood and Revolution[/amazon_link]), Joris Luydendijk ([amazon_link id=”1783350644″ target=”_blank” ]Swimming With the Sharks[/amazon_link]), Professor June Carbone ([amazon_link id=”0190263318″ target=”_blank” ]Marriage Markets[/amazon_link]), Larry Elliott ([amazon_link id=”009952368X” target=”_blank” ]The Gods that Failed[/amazon_link]), Nassim Taleb ([amazon_link id=”0141038225″ target=”_blank” ]Antifragile[/amazon_link] and [amazon_link id=”0141034599″ target=”_blank” ]The Black Swan[/amazon_link]), Philippe Legrain ([amazon_link id=”1782924809″ target=”_blank” ]European Spring[/amazon_link]), Stephen Kinsella ([amazon_link id=”1905483694″ target=”_blank” ]Ireland in 2050[/amazon_link]) and Steve Keen ([amazon_link id=”1848139926″ target=”_blank” ]Debunking Economics[/amazon_link])

I can’t miss the chance to plug the new paperback edition of [amazon_link id=”B0168T5AHE” target=”_blank” ]GDP: A Brief But Affectionate History[/amazon_link]. London-based folks, I’m doing a talk on GDP and matters digital on Monday 16th November at the LSE.

Just before that comes the Bristol Festival of Economics – next weekend, record sales but some tickets left.
