This is the most important book on economics I've read in a while. It will explains how the United States went from being a vibrant free market with low prices for consumers to one in which oligopolies and monopolies abound and consumers get shafted with higher price.      источник

The Decadent Society
How We Became the Victims of Our Own Success
Ross Douthat - 2020-02-25
Рейтинг Goodreads
"The Decadent Society" offers a powerful portrait of the stagnation and decay that define our turbulent times. As the Western world struggles with economic stagnation, political stalemates, cultural exhaustion, and demographic decline, society is caught in a strange kind of "sustainable decadence" that threatens to endure for longer than we think. Through a broad range of topics, from earthbound surveillance to recycling of Baby Boomer pop culture, Douthat provides an enlightening diagnosis of our modern condition, offering insight into how we got here, how long our malaise might last, and how it might ultimately end."

Ten maps that tell you everything you need to know about global politics, by Time Marshall. This is a good idea superbly executed. The book explains the world starting with geography, which in many ways is an idea of a starting point. It explains Russia, Ukraine, Kashmir, Tibet, Iraq, all through the rich lands of the map.      источник

Blowout
Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth

Blowout exposes the dark and corrupt world of the oil-and-gas industry, revealing how it has weakened democracies, destroyed environments, and propped up authoritarian regimes. From Oklahoma City to Siberia to Equatorial Guinea, Rachel Maddow takes us on a riveting journey, highlighting the greed and incompetence of Big Oil and Gas. This book is a clarion call to stop subsidizing the wealthiest industry on earth, to fight for transparency, and to check the influence of predatory oil executives and their enablers.

The Meritocracy Trap
How America's Foundational Myth Feeds Inequality, Dismantles the Middle Class, and Devours the Elite
Daniel Markovits - 2019-09-10
Рейтинг Goodreads
This book by esteemed Yale Law professor Daniel Markovits challenges the notion of meritocracy in American society. Markovits argues that the meritocratic ideal - that social and economic rewards should follow achievement rather than breeding - is a sham, perpetuating inequality and consolidating wealth and privilege across generations. The author draws from his personal experiences to expose the inner workings of the meritocratic machine and suggests steps towards a new world that values dignity and prosperity for all Americans.

This is the most interesting and provocative book I have read in a while. The author sits atop America's meritocracy. He is a Yale Law School Professor. But he argues that it has become a deeply dysfunctional and pernicious system causing crazed competition and anxiety for those on the inside succeeding and the sense of exclusion and isolation for those on the outside.      источник
