Unlike what usually passes for economics in many classrooms, government, the media and elsewhere, Choice is an engaging and intriguing book that provides something quite unique: a genuine treatise on economics that instructs and entertains both economists and general readers.Drawing on the seminal volume by the “Austrian School” economist Ludwig von Mises, Human Action, and comparing classical and neoclassical approaches, Choice is a creative, comprehensive, and unusually lucid book on economic science and market processes. The book illuminates free economies as underpinning civilization, the folly of government central planning, the primacy of entrepreneurship and innovation, the nature of money and banking, the causes of the business cycle, the failures of government intervention, and more. As a result, Choice teaches economic principles and exposes economic fallacies, and any reader will learn both the important truths about economics and the crucial value of individual choice, entrepreneurship, and free markets.

"Just 38 minutes long, yet powerful enough to leave a lasting impact. Jodi Picoult flips the narrative on unwanted pregnancy by giving it to men, challenging them (and the listener) to confront what bodily autonomy really means.<br/><br/>Through a miraculous and unsettling premise, Picoult explores how it feels to have your future, your body, and your choice stripped away. It’s not just a reversal for shock value—it’s a razor-sharp commentary on privilege, empathy, and the politics of control.<br/><br/>The story asks a haunting question:<br/>“Is it that you don’t want to have a baby, or that you’ve never had a choice taken away from you?”<br/>And that question lingers long after the story ends."
