I am in the middle of How to Win a Trade War by Soumaya Keynes and Chad Bown. It is always smart, sometimes irreverant, and timely. I plan to use it as one of the readings for my Harvard freshman seminar in the fall. It should generate a great class discussion.

I am a bit late to this party, but I finally got around to reading Dan Wang's Breakneck. It is a thoughtful and very readable book that taught me a lot about the Chinese economy and political system. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the topic.

I just finished the new book by my ertswhile colleague Al Roth. Highly recommended! The subtitle is a good summary.

Last week, I saw the play Every Billiant Thing, which was absolutely fantastic. As this NY Times article describes, audience participation is central. In our performance, I was picked to play the father. Here I am with the star, Daniel Radcliffe, backstage after the play, along with my wife and younger son.

Thank you, AEA

I am deeply honored to be named a Distinguished Fellow by the American Economic Association--especially at the same time that my wonderful colleague Ludwig Straub is awarded the Clark Medal.
