Book #1 of 2005
I have decided to keep a record of all the books I read. Partly to see how many books I read in a year, and partly becuase I can =).So then, I just finished the first book I have read in 2005. It was The Truth About Markets, by the economist John Kay. I noticed the title sitting in the bookshelf in the guestroom where I am staying, and picked it up to investigate. It sucked me in, and over the past few days I sped through it.
It's a pretty expansive look at economics. Why rich nations are rich, why capatalism beat communism, etc. While it did get pretty dense in places, all in all it was an interesting and informative read.
