I'm sitting in the Coop right now enjoying Professor Martha Nussbaum's exquisitely written philosophical treatise and I had a thought in my mind about some of my favorite books here in this particular post. Because of this particular thought bubble, I will now list a relatively brief list of my favorite books by genre. As the blog is mostly about my interest in Economics, I will start with my favorite Economics books, but I will include books from other subjects such as Political Science, Public Policy, Philosophy, etc.
