Jason Furman Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Loved this collection of the Hadestown lyrics--each song followed by a description of its evolution. I learned a lot about Hadestown, Anaïs Mitchell, and musical theater more broadly--the combination of creativity, teamwork, and trial-and-error. My review. https://t.co/cNsQyznb0L

It's nice to start your day by finishing Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. My review, mostly a review of the annotations in the annotated version I read. https://t.co/nRTFcxDbVy

Strongly recommend Jon Hilsenrath's bio "Yellen," a humanizing portrait of a woman whose scholarship is often based on taking humans seriously in the labor market & who never forgets policy is about real people not statistics or political games. My review: https://t.co/XlMjv6b9nm

My review of @GalorOded's excellent & very readable "The Journey of Humanity"--a sweeping account of the 10K years of Malthusianism, the growth takeoff, & the deeper cause of inequality between countries--all grounded in recent research by Galor & others. https://t.co/kMQNm8z0Se

My review of the superb Streets of Gold by Ran Abramitzky & @leah_boustan--an exemplar of how to combine cutting edge academic research with stories, history and broader context to make important arguments about immigration understandable and compelling. https://t.co/6s9dFC2rQr

I don’t know why more adults don’t read graphic novels. Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home is one the best ever written if you need a place to start. I also liked her latest, The Secret of Superhuman Strength. My review: https://t.co/fgbi2InRuq

Several books I had been reading converged over Thanksgiving. I liked but didn't love The Last Graduate, the 2nd in the planned Scholomance trilogy by Naomi Novik about a deadly magical school that kills ~1/2 of its students each year. My (brief) review. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4295406419?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1
