This thought-provoking book highlights the power shift caused by technology between the public and elite institutions. The author analyzes how digital devices and the vast information sphere sparked insurgencies across the globe, mobilizing millions of ordinary people. The updated edition takes a look at current political events, including Donald Trump's election and Brexit, and ponders whether the current elite class can reform the democratic process. A must-read for those interested in politics and technology.

On page 1, we do refer to @mgurri "Revolt of the Public" main thesis (quoting his 2018 edition's pp. 90-91). His argument also helps us make sense of the main result (as we discuss in section 4.2). This is indeed a great book, highly recommended!      fuente

Voices from Chernobyl
Svetlana Alexievich - 2006-04-18 (publicado por primera vez en 1997)
Calificación de Goodreads
This book brings the voices of the people of Belarus to life, sharing first-hand accounts of what happened during the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Svetlana Alexievich interviewed hundreds of individuals affected by the meltdown, including firefighters, disaster-cleanup technicians, and innocent citizens. In this monologue-style book, readers gain an inside view into the minds of those who lived through the fear, anger, and uncertainty caused by the worst nuclear reactor accident in history. No spin, no accusations, and no summary judgment- just raw and powerful accounts of the pain and aftermath of the tragedy.

Chairing the @Pushkin_House book prize jury has been just great! The tragic part of this job was that we could only select 1 winner. But we did choose an excellent book - and we actually made the choice before the #ChernobylHBO series by @clmazin !      fuente
Las leyes de la economía book cover
Las leyes de la economía
Los aciertos y errores de una ciencia en entredicho
Dani Rodrik - 2016-10-11 (publicado por primera vez en 2015)
Calificación de Goodreads
A raíz de la crisis financiera y la gran recesión, la economía parece cualquier cosa menos una ciencia. En este agudo libro, el gran economista Dani Rodrik hace un interesante ejercicio de autocrítica para examinar cuándo son válidos los paradigmas de esta ciencia y cuándo se quedan cortos y, con plena conciencia de sus limitaciones, llega a unas conclusiones sorprendentemente optimistas para esta disciplina. Rodrik argumenta que la economía puede ser una poderosa herramienta que mejore el mundo, pero sólo cuando los economistas abandonen teorías universales y se centren en conseguir el contexto adecuado. Las leyes de la economía es a la vez una crítica contundente y una defensa de esta disciplina, un camino hacia una ciencia más humilde y, por ello, más eficaz.
