Deaton takes a fairly woke turn about halfway through. He confesses his reluctance to become an American citizens until Obama was elected... Then he whines that economists have basically demonstrate that the claims of climate change alarmists are bunk.

has an interesting essay on healthcare economics wrt to his own hip replacement. Lots on the sensitivity of statistical metrics to politics. Lots on inequality. He seems somewhat less aware of the serious criticisms on Piketty and related work on inequality. He mentions critique but not the most fatal one.
