This list is mostly a matter of aspirational reading.
- Maybe I want to read Ted Burczak's Socialism after Hayek. (The Amazon page has one of Herb Gintis' long reviews.)
- Binyamin Appelbaum's The Economists' Hour: False Prophets, Free Markets, and the Fracture of Society is not even out yet, and already some mainstream economists are whining about it on twitter.
- William R. Clark and Vincent Arel-Bundock have a paper, Independent but not indifferent: Partisan bias in monetary policy at the Fed, in 2012.
- Christopher Gandrud and Cassandra Grafström's Does presidential partisanship affect Fed inflation forecasts? is related.
- Mark Buchanan recommends that more attention be paid to the work of Ole Peters and others at the London Mathematical Laboratory. They have developed something called ergodicity economics, as a replacement for expected utility theory.
Here is my review of Ted Burczak's book:

A version appeared in Anarchist Studies (Volume 20 No. 2).
Over all, it is an interesting read -- but it suffers from a lack of wider reading within the socialist tradition. As I note, most of his arguments are simply repeating Proudhon's ideas -- something he seems unaware of.
The review by Herbert Gintis seems a tad narrow in its perspective, focusing on shares and such-like.

I guess I have to read this book now.
