The Value of Everything argues that American companies have for too long been valued according to the amount of wealth they capture for themselves rather than for the value they create for the economy. In fact, Pfizer, Amazon, and other companies are actually dependent on public money, spend their resources on boosting share prices and executive pay, and reap ever-expanding rewards without offering the market value.

Very thoughtful book. But some critique is due :) There is too much emphasis on the bad morals of the financial sector rather than the rules shaping it. Development bank for long-term projects sounds nice but why not just subsides standard bank lending to make them happen? Rising rents during housing booms do increase GDP. But nominal not real. Almost all the effect would be accounted for by the GDP deflator. To sum up the book asks excellent questions but I am not sure that you win debate on this topic if you base your arguments on its content. Overall, highly recommended.

Most people, including many policy makers, activists, scientists, and philosophers, have encouraged us to be more empathetic - to feel the pain and pleasure of others. Yale researcher and author Paul Bloom argues that this is a mistake. Far from leading us to improve the lives of others, empathy is a capricious and irrational emotion that appeals to our narrow prejudices. It muddles our judgment and often leads to cruelty. We are at our best when we are smart enough not to rely on it and draw upon a more distanced compassion.

Empathy is evil more often than not. Not the most popular idea but after Bloom's arguments almost undisputable. The book is so logical, thought-provoking and elegantly written that you can't help but love it. It is also very soft and respectful towards empathy supporters which is quite rare in many contemporary books. Truly unique book.
