I’m not sure “favorite” is something I can quantify for you with such ease, as I’m not ranking my favorite movies/spectacles, here. We’re discussing engaging with things that don’t just pet and soothe your inbuilt biases. It’d be like asking my favorite college coursework textbook.

I most recently digested George Soros’ “Alchemy Of Finance” via audiobook, (though I’m not sure he really qualifies as a hedge fund manager, exactly). I’m no fan of his hyper-neo-liberal leanings, but why should I be scared to read what he has to say about finance? I have time. His musings on reflexivity were compelling enough, I guess.

I’ve also recently plowed through Anne Case and Angus Deaton’s “Deaths Of Despair”. I’ve historically chafed against Deaton’s particular brand of neo-lib economics. It seems he’s had something of a mea culpa moment in the past few years, since his Nobel prize in Econ, because he’s been running around pissing off a bunch of economists with articles like these.

If you have any recommendations I’m open to them!
