Economics; New Consensus Reading List

From their website:

If you’ve found your way to this reading list you may be thinking, “I’m on board; I just need more details!” Or you may be thinking, “I’m not convinced, but I want to know more.” This reading list will set you on your way.

We have assembled here works by economists, historians, bankers, and more, all of whom take a fresh look at economic growth, sustainability, and equity, as well as successful efforts to confront problems on a national, regional, and even global scale. No one of these books captures the new consensus in its entirety; many perspectives—and, even more crucially, many kinds of evidence—are necessary in order to envision and build a future we can all live with.
