I thought a nice thread about recently read books on political theory and current events might be apropos.
I just finished Why Most Things Fail: Evolution, Extinction and Economics by Paul Ormerod.
It is a look at economics from a kind of biological point of view. The underlying premise is that most things, nay all things, fail.
And the conclusion does a wonderful job of tying in the consequences of this premise to the viability, or lack thereof, of state economic planning.
What have you read, recently?
