In addition to Adam Smith’s Additions and Corrections to the First and Second Editions of Dr. Adam Smith’s Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1784), I have read or will be reading the following books:
- Martin Belov (editor), Constitutional Polycrisis and Emergency Constitutionalism (2025). Full disclosure: I will be thumbing through this tome to see if my work on Gödel’s loophole (see here and here) is cited.
- Donald J. Braben, Scientific Freedom: The Elixir of Civilization (2020). Is this one of those books that should have been a blog post? I will report back soon!
- Timothy J. Henderson, A Glorious Defeat: Mexico and Its War with the United States (2007). Talk about revisionist history! The author somehow finds a way of blaming Mexico for instigating the Mexican-American War of 1847.
- Roberta Adelaide Modugno, The Legacy of Murray N. Rothbard (2025). I am on Team Nozick; I am reading this book to fill up a blind spot in my libertarian studies.
- Eliana Maria Santanatoglia, An Evolutionary Account of Law: The Role of Evolutionary Thinking in Legal Theory and Philosophy (2026). I have always been fascinated with evolutionary theory, so I am reading this book to compare notes, so to speak, with the author.
