A speaker recommends a book written by someone else.

“My favorite book about Smith is actually Albert Hirschman's The Passions and the Interests, which is barely about Smith at all but is about the couple of centuries of economic thinking that led up to Smith.”

Why: It is full of really great insights that are directly relevant to understanding economic history and the themes of A Phone is a Cow.
