    Great books, will check them out. I think another great way to gain knowledge is to have respectful conversations. At home we sit and talk about everything in a respectful manner. We don’t agree on many topics but we do not get worked up and we disagree respectfully, which is something so hard to do now days.

      For this particular book, I have read pretty much everything out there that's publicly available about its structure and content focus - that, coupled with the fact that literally every other book by Gary V has been incredibly valuable, I can safely say I recommend this even before it's been released. I'll be one of the first to read it in full once it's released!

      Great questions! Off the top of my head, I can't think of additional titles, but anything that is a broad overview that includes topics such as utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics should be great! Also, for applied ethics, you can even be more specific to the topic. Look for things in your area of interest: i.e. "business ethics," "medical ethics," etc.

In this case, my opinion is informed because I know Keynes's work and its effects on many countries that have adopted that economic framework.
