Read numerous books since the lockdown. Four books by Robert Zubrin who makes the case for a trip to Mars. In these dark days, it is nice to start thinking about shooting for the stars. These times will not last and we need goals to move toward new adventures. Much of our political class has been satisfied with how things are now and not looking for new adventure.
John Barry history of the Spanish flu and James Grant book on the forgotten Depression are both excellent books on the history of economic slowdown and the pandemic. Tom Sowell essay on history on “supply side economics” from 1920’s to the present with emphasis on the 1920’s. These books will give you an idea on how to deal with both the pandemics and the economic recovery.
