Economy, Society and Public Policy (an open textbook)
David Brancaccio and the kind folks at Marketplace are doing a public virtual bookclub with this book as their text for twelve weeks through the Spring of 2020.

I read this a year ago when it first came out and appreciated it then. Fun to revisit it with more experienced eyes.
