A Better, If Timid, Economic Framework

This book lays out a coherent economic vision and does so without straying all that far from conventional economics. There was more expansive ground to cover with Modern Monetary Theory and ideas that have been incorporated into Library Socialism, but there is a core argument here that the conservative approach probably makes more palatable for the audience of policy makers. It's a fairly accessible book for a reader with some foundations in economics but probably won't be a breezy read without that.
