Story
Why didn't Africa colonize Europe instead of the other way around? Why did inequality in many advanced countries fall during the 1950s and 1960s? Why is there more competition among corner cafes than among social media companies? How did robber barons inspire the game Monopoly? In An Economist’s History of the World, acclaimed Harvard professor and economist Andrew Leigh presents a dramatically new understanding of human history. Spanning ancient times to the current day, he reveals the hidden economic factors that have shaped every aspect of our world.

Story
Paranoid about the “ums” and “uhs” that pepper your presentations? Concerned that people notice your vocal fry? Bewildered by “hella” or the meteoric rise of “so”? In Like, Literally, Dude, linguist Valerie Fridland shows how we can re-imagine these forms as exciting new linguistic frontiers rather than our culture’s impending demise. With delightful irreverence and expertise, Fridland weaves together history, psychology, science, and anecdotes to explain why we speak the way we do today, and how that impacts what our kids may be saying tomorrow.

Story
Social scientists have adopted the practices of more traditional scientists in the past few decades - using randomized trials to design policies aimed at improving educational levels, lowering crime rates, elevating employment rates, and improving living standards among the poor. Andrew Leigh and P.J. Ochlan bring the lives of these radical researchers to life as their experiments to overturn conventional wisdom lead to breakthroughs like finding the cure for scurvy and discovering what policies really improve literacy rates.
