Foundational economic texts require slow rereading rather than quick consumption

Evidence

I will make a guarantee: Assuming we survive to tell the tale, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism has a high probability of joining the likes of Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations and Max Weber’s Economy and Society as defining social-economics texts of modern times. It is not a ‘quick read’; it is to be savored and re-read and discussed with colleagues and friends. — Shoshana Zuboff, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, 1684

  • CANDY: The playful ‘No zippy one-liners from me, except to almost literally beg you to read/ingest this book’ is a light, shareable quip.
