1. Best behavioral economics books of the year, Daniel Kahneman, Thinking, Fast and Slow, and Bryan Caplan, Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids.
2. Best economic history book, Alexander Field, A Great Leap Forward: 1930s Depression and U.S. Economic Growth.
3. Second best eBook of the year, Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, Race Against the Machine: How the Digital Revolution is Accelerating Innovation, Driving Productivity, and Irreversibly Transforming Employment and the Economy. By the way, here is my recent debate with Erik; we both agreed in advance to mix things up and generate controversy, so interpret the exchange accordingly. In reality, Erik and I agree about many many things and Matt Yglesias notes as much. (We do, however, seem to disagree about what this graph means.) Arnold Kling comments on the debate itself.
4. Best economics/business book of the year: Tim Harford’s Adapt.
5. Best Austrian or Austrian-influenced book of the year: Daniel B. Klein, Knowledge and Coordination: A Liberal Interpretation. It’s not out yet, I’ll cover it more when it appears, more information here.
6. Best economics textbook, Ahem! I don’t mean my favorite economics textbook (though it is that too), rather best economics textbook. The revised second edition of Micro just appeared, the macro is due out any day now.
Overall if I had to pick one, text aside, it might be the Alexander Field book, but this is a diverse lot with something for everybody.
