I have a lot of very enticing proof/manuscript copies of forthcoming books to read at the moment. There are some treats on the way folks!

All these to look forward to

I’ve written a review of Branko Milanovic’s [amazon_link id=”067473713X” target=”_blank” ]Global Inequality[/amazon_link] for Democracy, and have read & enjoyed both [amazon_link id=”0393249131″ target=”_blank” ]Platform Revolution[/amazon_link] by Parker, Van Alstyne & Choudary and [amazon_link id=”1681771373″ target=”_blank” ]The Great Invention: The story of GDP[/amazon_link] by Ehsan Masood – will review the former here and am reviewing the latter for Nature.

Now I’ve started on Ethan Bueno De Mesquita’s Political Economy for Public Policy – not sure when it’s due to be published but of great interest for the course I teach (Economics for Public Policy, ECON20431 at Manchester). Then it will be Deirdre McCloskey’s [amazon_link id=”022633399X” target=”_blank” ]Bourgeois Equality[/amazon_link], the third of her ambitious trilogy (the previous ones were [amazon_link id=”0226556743″ target=”_blank” ]Bourgeois Dignity[/amazon_link] and [amazon_link id=”0226556646″ target=”_blank” ]The Bourgeois Virtues[/amazon_link]). That’s due out in April. The others in the picture are out in May so will have to wait a bit.
