Essays in the History of Mainstream Political Economy
I was exceptionally disappointed in this book.
This book is basically rhetoric, and it rehashes all material you learned in school with hardly any relation to the real world. I was shocked to see that such a prominent magazine would regurgitate economic dogma.
I assumed that because it was a collection of the BEST articles from the The Economist, that the thinking would be profound and knowledge cutting edge. I was sorely mistaken. After reading this I've come to realise that this book/magazine is ultimately designed to push the status quo and indoctrinate specific economic thought.
I read this shortly before the 2008 GFC, and when the GFC hit, it confirmed that most of the book is literal garbage.
The upside is that this book did lead me to explore more interesting books about economics.
