Tyler Cowen's reading

评语：he best book I know of on southern Thailand flat out. This one has recipes of course, but also photos, maps, anecdotes, and plenty of history. The food is explained in conceptual terms. Recommended, for all those with an interest.

评语：Can the idea of wrongful discrimination be applied to immigration decisions? Maybe you believe this is a pure and simple matter of national autonomy, but what if the potential immigrants are from a former and wronged colony? From an island nation perishing due to climate change? Or they were previously pushed off territory that is now part of the host nation? And yet open borders as an idea also does not work — how should one fit all these pieces together?

评语：Paul’s books are always very smart

评语： An amazing book, full of life and energy on every page, and yes there are 605 of them. Imagine if Camille Paglia had stuck with it and produced case studies. The main problem is simply that most people don’t know or care about Burton and Taylor any more?

评语：Ethan Mollick is the best and most thorough Twitter commentator on LLMs, he now has a forthcoming book

评语：For a long time I’ve been thinking there should be a good book on this topic, and now there is one. Both fun and interesting.

评语：About five percent of American women end up having five children or more — what do you learn by talking to them? (“Which one should I give back?”) The author herself has eight children.
