Summary of Economics Reading

I wish that there were a way to pick one of the tags listed for the blog and show the titles and dates for that tag, rather than the posts. Given that you can't I have decided to start a list of the economics books I have read and reviewed/summarized, as a quick reference for myself. I will keep updating this page as I read more economics books.
