Summary:
"My freshman course on the principles of economics opened my eyes to a new way of thinking. Economics combines the virtues of politics and science. It is, truly, a social science. Its subject matter is society -- how people choose to lead their lives and how they interact with one another -- but it approaches the subject with the dispassion of a science. By bringing the methods of science to the questions of politics, economics aims to make progress on the challenges that all societies face. I wrote this book with the hope that I could convey some of the excitement about economics that I felt as a student in my first economics course. Economics is a subject in which a little knowledge goes a long way. Economists have a unique world-view, much of which can be taught in one or two semesters. My goal in this book is to transmit this way of thinking to the widest possible audience and to convince readers that it illuminates much about their lives and the world around them. Economics aims to understand the world in which we live. Most chapters of this book include Case Studies that illustrate how the principles of economics can be applied. In the News boxes offer excerpts from newspapers, magazines, and online news sources to show how economic ideas shed light on current issues facing society. After students finish their first course in economics, they should think about news reports from a new perspective and with greater insight. To keep the study of economics fresh and relevant for each new cohort of students, I update each edition to keep pace with the ever-changing world."--adapted from Preface to the Instructor, page v

Summary:
"The author of Digital Minimalism and Deep Work offers a philosophy for pursuing meaningful accomplishment while avoiding overload. History's most creative and impactful philosophers, scientists, artists, and writers mastered the art of producing valuable work with staying power. In this book, Cal Newport harnesses the wisdom of these traditional knowledge workers to transform modern jobs. Drawing from research on the habits and mindsets of a varied cast of thinkers from Galileo and Isaac Newton to Jane Austen and Georgia O'Keefe, Newport lays out the key principles of "slow productivity" and provides step-by-step advice for workers to replace the standard notion of productivity with a slower, more humane alternative"--

Summary:
Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C. Klein and Michael Pettis show in this book, they are often the unexpected result of domestic political choices to serve the interests of the rich at the expense of workers and ordinary retirees. Klein and Pettis trace the origins of today's trade wars to decisions made by politicians and business leaders in China, Europe, and the United States over the past thirty years. Across the world, the rich have prospered while workers can no longer afford to buy what they produce, have lost their jobs, or have been forced into higher levels of debt. In this thought-provoking challenge to mainstream views, the authors provide a cohesive narrative that shows how the class wars of rising inequality are a threat to the global economy and international peace-and what we can do about it.
