DeLong's Grasping Reality: Economy in the 2000s & Before

By Brad DeLong

One of the best ways to learn to make sense of money, work, communication, production, distribution, and more. Betting that in the course of human things the future must resemble even if it does not reflect the past, people being much the same over time.

I think Brad's summary newsletters were the inspiration for my own weekly 'best of the net' substack. Good if you're interested in political economy, and economic history
