The Economics of Belonging

ByMilan

Just notes and archives of some books I read and find interesting and relevant.

“A radical new approach to economic policy that addresses the symptoms and causes of inequality in Western society today.”

    ByMilan

    Hey Milan didn’t you say there were *two* books you’d recommend on deinstitutionalisation… I did, din’t I. Same as the first one, the second book isn’t about deinstitutionalisation either.
