अब यस्तो कहिल्यै नहोस्, इतिहासकार बाबुराम आचार्यद्वारा लिखित एक ऐतिहासिक पुस्तक हो। यसमा पृथ्वीनारायण शाहको मृत्युपछि नेपालको एकीकरण र त्यस सत्ताका लागि भएका षड्यन्त्र, घात-प्रतिघात र शासकहरूको सत्तामोहले देश कसरी कमजोर भयो भन्ने विषयमा चर्चा गरिएको छ।

The canonical treatment of monetary theory with a Wicksellian foundation. Dense, mathematical, and worth every page. A few pages a night.

Reading for the polity and ethics paper, but honestly also for myself. Sen's capability approach reframes what we mean by 'fair'.

A reread. The framing of System 1 and System 2 still holds; the priming material has aged. I wrote about it in the blog.

A 100-page distillation of a 50-year project. Sweeping, occasionally wrong, always humbling.

Technically an essay, not a book, but I reread it twice a year. The single most important piece on decentralized price information.

Inclusive vs. extractive institutions as the engine of development. The thesis is cleaner than reality, but the lens is useful.

A 1970 essay that predicted half the discourse about online communities. Sharp, short, essential.

Harder going than the legend suggests. Chapter 12 on long-term expectations is the part that actually changed how I think.

On the list for after the exam. The double movement argument feels newly relevant.

After I finish The Idea of Justice. Sen's most accessible book, I'm told.

Intimidating length, but the central data on r > g is worth engaging with directly rather than via summaries.

Recommended often enough that I've stopped resisting. High modernism and its failures.
