Posted: Mon Apr 28, 2008 10:11 pm Post subject: The Presidential Cabinet
I'm about to start up another non-fiction book. I'd like a book on unequal distribution of wealth, globalization, or economics. I was wondering if anyone out there wanted to join me.
Here is a short list of some books that I'm considering:
1. Naked Economics - Charles Wheelen
2. Lexus and the Olive Tree - Thomas Friedman
3. Unequal Protection - Thom Hartmann
4. Wealth of Nations - Smith
5. Principle of Population - Malthus
6. Principles of Political Economy - Mill
If you'd like to read one of these with me or have another book on the subject that you'd like to read with someone, please let me know.
I haven't got a copy, but I'm willing to buy it if you say you'll discuss it with me -- and anyone else who'd like to join.
Generally I'm also interested in history-- a subject that doesn't seem to appear much in discussion forums, or at least not in the form of books to discuss.
