…henry farrell recommending forthcoming fiction book about wartime economy and structure
“Second book is a book that's not available yet, but will be out in the United States, I think, in maybe two months. It's by Francis Spufford. It's called Nonesuch. So Spufford wrote this incredible book called Red Plenty, which really I and Abe took as one of our models for how do you write a book about complicated structures using individuals in order to tell the stories of how those structures work. This is a very different book in some ways. It's a fantasy set during the World War II blitz of London. But it's also a book about what is happening right now. And it's a book that has in some really interesting ways economic systems and how economic systems work, woven through the narrative in ways that you don't particularly notice, but you actually end up learning quite a lot.”
