Thinking in Bets
In Thinking in Bets, Annie Duke distils her insights from academia and professional poker into decision-making advice which can lead to improved investment skill.
Material World
Ed Conway's Material World highlights the disconnect between our technological, services-based society and the physical materials underpinning it, raising questions around climate goals.
The Currency of Politics
In The Currency of Politics, Stefan Eich argues that successive asset price bubbles show money needs to come back under explicit political control.

Book review – The Profit Paradox
Jan Eeckhout is a research professor; fortunately, he doesn't write like one. Despite the serious subject matter of The Profit Paradox his style is engaging and conversational, and the book is light on its feet and commendably free of jargon.
Book review – Invisible Women
Why are women in the United Kingdom 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed after a heart attack? Or 47% more likely to be seriously injured in road traffic accidents?
