The Constitution of Liberty: The Definitive Edition Volume 17

F. a. Hayek
George MonbiotGeorge Monbiot

The ideological pillars of this belief – such as Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and Friedrich Hayek’s The Constitution of Liberty – are as mad as any Soviet tract. I mean properly batshit crazy. Those who seek to live by them demand conditions that the real world cannot provide.

George MonbiotGeorge Monbiot

I’ve just finished my book Regenesis*: feeding the world without devouring the planet. I followed some astonishing people, read over 5000 papers, and questioned everything I believed to be true. The results, I think, are revolutionary. Published by @PenguinUKBooks in May. Thread/

The Fable of the Bees

Bernard Mandeville
George MonbiotGeorge Monbiot

Almost as bonkers are the much older tracts that these books draw on, such as John Locke's Second Treatise and Bernard Mandeville's The Fable of the Bees. Their claims and justifications fall apart immediately. Yet we have built on this quicksand.

Economics

Paul A. Samuelson
George MonbiotGeorge Monbiot

This is a devastating, brilliantly argued critique of William Nordhaus's climate economics. An economics whose obvious flaws failed to prevent his receipt of a Nobel Prize, or the widespread use of his projections to stymie prompt and effective action. https://t.co/Fhc9t3cvll

Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist

Kate Raworth
George MonbiotGeorge Monbiot

Great to see this excellent profile of @KateRaworth & Doughnut Economics. When her book, perhaps the most important work on economics in the 21st Century, was first published, there were *no reviews*. The media is always at least 5 years behind the curve.
