It’s all the time a lot more durable to pick a winner than to determine on the ten (sometimes 12) books on the longlist, and someway more durable than normal this 12 months. For I’ve determined there are two which have the mix of curiosity, distinctiveness and wonderful writing I’m on the lookout for. So, with the standard caveat that that is a wholly private determination based mostly on what I occur to have learn, my very own pursuits, (and little doubt my temper on the time), I’m providing a free lunch to each Brad DeLong for Slouching In direction of Utopia and James Bessen for The New Goliaths. Congratulations to each!
