A clear eyed investigation of economic growth. I found this book to be accessible, but with sufficient depth to build to the various positions taken. There are detailed sections on GDP and how growth emerged in the mid 20th century (for mostly better, but some worse). It has helped me frame some of my own thoughts on the issue and will aid in arguments with my free market absolutist friends (although I doubt they will be move).

Rigorous and thought-provoking.

Fascinating and riveting. I didn’t think I cared but Susskind is so lucid and provides such compelling history and suggestions to move forward that it’s impossible to look away
