“@ORIoliver @RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK That’s Kate Raworth’s book and it’s excellent | Kate Raworth is a unique thinker and economist who opened my eyes to new ways of looking at the economy. @mixedmentalarts Donut Economics is the book to read! | Kate Raworth's book Doughnut Economics provided an additional key metaphor that dovetails so nicely with what I took away from Roth's book that the two are now inseparable in my mind. Raworth makes the case that a doughnut is a far better metaphor than the graph of growth going up and to the right that seems to dominate modern economic thinking.”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis. Recommended by 18 sources.
“Michael Lewis chronicles the friendship and intellectual partnership of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, who championed the idea that cognitive biases shape our choices. The narrative reads like a buddy story, weaving their discoveries into personal anecdotes and the drama of their collaboration. You'll grasp key ideas—loss aversion, framing—through their story, but the book focuses on biography, not application. Helpful for understanding behavioral economics' origins; less useful if you want actionable advice. The emotional arc of their relationship can overshadow the science.”
