I like Steven Pinker’s new book. Here’s why: — Andrew Gelman

Andrew Gelman reviews Steven Pinker's Rationality. Trenchant criticism along with the praise.  A bit longish and rather detailed for a blog review, but definitely worth a read. Many other reviewers would likely not pick this stuff up and a lot of it will get passed lay readers that are the target readership. Applicable to all but also specifically to understanding economics and finance, where "rationality" is a thing (key assumption).
