How the globalitzation gamble went wrong (and what would make it right) - This is a fantastic book. Very enthusiastically recommend. At some point I was highlighting it so much that I figured I’d just might have to read it again. It’s so good. Everyone outside the US should read it to understand the moment (also those in the US).
