Bookshelf

Below is a non-exhaustive list of some books that I own - no strict order, some volumes well‑worn, others still untouched, and a probably more than a few obvious gaps.

As you can probably see, I am particularly drawn to founder biographies or autobiographies; after all Munger once said “I am a biography nut. And I think when you’re trying to teach the great concepts that work, it helps to tie them into the lives and personalities of the people who developed them. I think you learn economics better if you make Adam Smith your friend.”
